Debber: /* Prerequisites */

This page will go through a basic setup of MediaWiki. It is based on [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:Installing_MediaWiki|the official MediaWiki installation wikipage]], and it gives a few specifics for setting it up on a hosted account over at ULYSSIS.

== Prerequisites==
This tutorial assumes that you have [https://cyberduck.io/ Cyberduck] installed. A guide on how to install and use Cyberduck can be found on [[Accessing your files]]. You will also have to download the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download MediaWiki installation files]. We reccomend using either the latest version or the long-term support (LTS) version.

== Installation ==
As mentioned in the Prerequisites, we'll use Cyberduck for the installation of MediaWiki. Make sure you are logged in to you ULYSSIS account, and that you see the following screen. [[File:OpenCyberduck.png|left|thumb|400x400px|Open Cyberduck]]
In this tutorial, we will install our MediaWiki in the www folder. We can do this by double clicking the folder.
[[File:GoToWWW.png|left|thumb|394x394px|Go to the WWW folder]]
We are now ready to upload the necessary files for the MediaWiki installation. This can be done by clicking the 'Upload' button at the top of the Cyberduck window. A popup should appear on your screen.
[[File:ClickOnUpload.png|left|thumb|Click on the upload button]]
Navigate to the folder in which the installation files are stored. Select them and click on 'Choose' on the bottom right of the popup.
[[File:SelectMediaWikiZIP.png|left|thumb|Select the MediaWiki zip]]
The upload process wil now start automatically. It is possible that you get another popup, be sure to click 'Allow'. Otherwise, the files will not be uploaded.
[[File:WindowPopup.png|left|thumb|Click allow]]
If the upload has completed, you should get a window which looks like this:
[[File:WaitUntilComplete.png|left|thumb|Wait until the upload is complete]]
In the main Cyberduck window, you should be able to see the MediaWiki file you just uploaded. To unzip this file, just right click it and choose 'expand archive'.
[[File:RightClick ExpandArchive.png|left|thumb|405x405px|Right click on the zip and choose expand archive]]
This process might take a while, you can verify the progress by looking at the bottom part of the Cyberduck window.
[[File:ProgressBottomWindow.png|left|thumb|411x411px|The progress can be found on the bottom of the window]]
Select everything in the new MediaWiki folder and move it outside of the folder.
[[File:SelectEverything.png|left|thumb|379x379px|Select everything in the MediaWiki folder]]
Delete the zip file and the original folder by right clicking and choosing delete
[[File:DeleteOGfiles.png|left|thumb|Delete the zip file and the original folder]]
Now we'll go to UCC and create a database for our mediawiki installation. (if this is your first time making a database, we reccomend our documentation on [[Using MySQL]])
[[File:GoToUCC.png|left|thumb|Go to UCC|560x560px]]
Choose the 'Add database' option just below your username. This should bring you to a page which looks like this. We reccomend naming your database 'wiki'.
[[File:CreateDB.png|left|thumb|Create a new MySQL database|568x568px]]
You are now ready to configure your new wiki at username.ulyssis.be . To start, click on the 'set up the wiki' hyperlink.
[[File:GoToWiki.png|left|thumb|578x578px|Go to your wiki at username.ulyssis.be]]You will be prompted to set your prefered language.
[[File:SetLanguage.png|left|thumb|585x585px|Set your language ]]
This is where the real installation begins. We can just click 'continue'.
[[File:InstallPage.png|left|thumb|588x588px|This is the beginning of the installation ]]
We will first configure the database we just created. This is specific to your personal configuration, an example has been given below.
[[File:ConfigureDB.png|left|thumb|592x592px|Configure the database in MediaWiki]]
Once the database has been configured, you can just click 'continue'. On the following page, make sure the checkbox is checked and click 'continue' again.
[[File:DBSettings.png|left|thumb|600x600px|Database settings in MediaWiki]]
We now get promted to choose a wiki name (you can choose this to be whatever you want), we also have to make the administrator account.
[[File:WikiSettings.png|left|thumb|601x601px|Configure the final MediaWiki settings]]
Once everything has been created, you should land on the following page. You don't have to configure anything on this page.
[[File:InstalationPage.png|left|thumb|596x596px|This is the final install page]]
When the MediaWiki installation has been confirmed, you will have to download the 'LocalSettings.php' file. This file contains the essential settings for your MediaWiki instance to work properly.
[[File:DownloadLocalSettings.png|left|thumb|607x607px|Download LocalSettings.php]]
Upload LocalSettings.php via cyberduck to the same folder where you placed the MediaWiki files.
[[File:UploadLocalSettings.png|left|thumb|Upload LocalSettings.php]]
You can now open a new tab, and go to username.ulyssis.be . You should be able to see your new wiki.
[[File:OpenNewTab.png|left|thumb|486x486px|Open a new tab and go to username.ulyssis.be]]
For further support, we recccomend the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide official MediaWiki documentation.]

Debber: /* Adding a ULYSSIS mailbox to Thunderbird */

When you create a ULYSSIS account, you get an email address: <code>''username''@ulyssis.org</code>. It is possible to check this mailbox via https://webmail.ulyssis.org. However, it is far more convenient and efficient to use a standalone email client. This article will explain the process of adding a mailbox to the Thunderbird client. Do note: this article is written for users who opted for a ULYSSIS mailbox. not for users who opted for a forwarded email address (more information about forwarders is available at https://docs.ulyssis.org/Forwarders).

==Thunderbird==
Thunderbird is a free and open-source email client made by Mozilla. It is available for download at https://thunderbird.net. The installation process is fairly easy and thus will not be covered in this article.

==Adding a ULYSSIS mailbox to Thunderbird==
If this is the first mailbox being added to Thunderbird, the following pop-up should come up:
[[File:First Open TB.png|left|alt=|thumb|432x432px]]

If the pop-up did not come up, or this is not your first mailbox; it is possible to click the Email button (highlighted in blue in the screenshot below) under the "Set Up Another Account" section:
[[File:New Mailbox.png|left|alt=|thumb|600x600px]]

Once the pop-up is present, it becomes possible to fill in the settings for a mailbox. The first step is to fill in the Email adress field (notice, this email adress should be the username@ulyssis.org adress linked to a mailbox):
{{notice|notice|the ULYSSIS username is the username which was picked when the ULYSSIS account was created. For more information please see: https://docs.ulyssis.org/Registering_a_new_account}}
[[File:Fill in email.png|left|alt=|thumb|432x432px]]

Notice, the button "Configure manually..." on the bottom left has become clickable (as seen on the above screenshot). When this button is clicked, the pop-up should look like this:
[[File:Click Configure Manually.png|left|alt=|thumb|479x479px]]

Now, fill in the information as follows:

[[File:Fill advanced.png|left|alt=|thumb|479x479px]]
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Manual settings
|-
! !! INCOMING !! OUTGOING
|-
| Protocol:|| IMAP || SMTP
|-
| Server: || mail.ulyssis.org || smtps.kuleuven.be
|-
|Port: || 993 || 443
|-
|SSL: || SSL/TLS || SSL/TLS
|-
|Authentication: || Autodetect || Autodetect
|-
| Username: || ULYSSIS-username || r-number
|}

{{notice|notice|The ports used to configure a ULYSSIS mailbox, are not automatically recognized by Thunderbird. This means they should be entered manually instead of using the drop-down.}}

The "Re-test" button on the bottom right of the following screenshot is used to validate the settings. When pressed, the pop-up should look like this:

[[File:After Clicking Retest GOOD.png|left|alt=|thumb|479x479px]]

If this test succeeds, the pop-up can be closed by pressing the "Done" button on the bottom right of the previous screenshot. When the pop-up closes, a mailbox should be added to the left side of the main Thunderbird window. By clicking on the inbox tab, the emails should load in (as seen in the last screenshot). After this first setup, the mailbox should synchronize automatically.
[[File:After Clicking GetMessages.png|left|alt=|thumb|600x600px]]

{{notice|notice|When sending the first email after configuration, Thunderbird might show a pop-up: "Enter your password for r0000000 on smtps.kuleuven.be:". It is really important to enter your KU Leuven password (the password used for central login), otherwise your email will not be sent.}}
