installing mediawiki under /var/www/etc will keep it in the sandboxed area - correct?
What do you mean by "sandbox"?
I mean the ability to use it as though it were a live system, but not in fact accessible by the Internet.
And I think you mean /var/www/html, there is no /var/www/etc in RHEL/CentOS...
Oops - badly expressed. I meant 'etc' in the generic sense, not the directory sense.
The idea of this is that if I can do the sysadmin role on a local installation I can experiments safely away from the real one, and try to find working solutions, which can then be passed to those with admin rights on the kde server.
If you want something that can later on be replicated in another server, I would advise you to do the setup as close as possible to the way it is done on the other server, otherwise your findings might not be applicable to that setup...
Hmm - since I don't have that level of access on the real server that may not be easy, but I can certainly talk to the sysadmins to see how far that is possible.
