Supporting the UW Web

Today I updated the documentation for installing some wikis.

• MediaWiki instructions went from version 1.11.0 to 1.12.0
• MoinMoin instructions went from version 1.5.3 to 1.5.8

The new version of MediaWiki has an option for selecting InnoDB or MyISAM, so the previous changes to that documentation don’t seem quite as necessary, but they still make sense, so I’ve left them intact.

Today a couple of things were added to the UA Web servers.  This includes staff.washington.edu, faculty.washington.edu, courses.washington.edu, depts.washington.edu, students.washington.edu, ovid.u.washington.edu, and vergil.u.washington.edu.

• Python was upgraded from 2.5 to 2.5.2
• The sqlite3 (3.5.4) command-line tool was added.
• Python’s sqlite3 module now functions properly
• The MS SQL Server PHP module was added, which allows connections to MS SQL servers using PHP.
