For some reference on how I did it!
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki
The above was the main tutorial I used! The main parts for me was installing XAMPP, using Apache through the XAMPP console, and then separately using MariaDB *instead of* MySQL (which is in the XAMPP console). When creating the database in MariaDB, use the collation "utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci" instead.
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki_on_XAMPP
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MariaDB
tutorial for XAMPP setup and ImageMagick [note that this uses XAMPP's MySQL, my process used MariaDB]:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=PoL_XxhsYRo
For APCu (which is related to caching and speeding up browsing), in XAMPP's php.ini file you'll want to make sure to have 'extension=apcu'. The below page was a big help on making sure you're using the right version, especially the top comment. that phpinfo() command part just literally make a text file with it, save as .php file through like notepad or notepad++, put it in your main folder for your wiki, open localhost to it
https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.apcu.php
Essentially when you get to the "installing the wiki" step, I tried to have ImageMagick and APCu ready and set up and showing that they're installed. I also looked into installing diff3 and File, but you do it after installation of your server when the LocalSettings.php has been created. Info is for some reason
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki_on_Windows_Server_2008_R2#GNU_diff3_Installation_.28Optional.29
This was a two-day project for me so don't fret if it takes a while to figure out. I hope though that this collection of links expedites the "googling around figuring out what the fuck anything is" stage.
There are many cool extensions you can do with MediaWiki and you can create a forum or a blog on it or just use it for whatever! I just think it feels so cool. Look around at other wikis to see how their CSS is done
MediaWiki:Common.css
https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CSS
https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki
https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/Main_Page
https://wiki.puella-magi.net/MediaWiki:Common.css
YIPPEE I figured out how to host a WIKI on my COMPUTER with PHP and SQL!!!! I am gonna put so much world-building lore in this thing once I figure out some CSS
I can't say anything about the project but aaaaah I am. Excited. I have been wiggling this story concept in my head for like 4 years and am ready to spew them onto my computer much like raw unprocessed ore

<?php
include 'database/db_connect.php';
if(isset($_POST['register'])) {
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $password = password_hash($_POST['password'], PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
    $sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES ('$name', '$email', '$password')";
    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
        echo "Registration successful!";
    } else {
        echo "Error: " . $conn->error;
    }
}
?>
6. Implementing User Login System

  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>
  <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required>
  <button type="submit" name="login">Login</button>
</form>
Handling Login Authentication (login.php)
<?php
session_start();
include 'database/db_connect.php';
if(isset($_POST['login'])) {
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email'");
    $user = $result->fetch_assoc();
    if(password_verify($password, $user['password'])) {
        $_SESSION['user'] = $user;
        echo "Login successful!";
    } else {
        echo "Invalid credentials!";
    }
}
?>
Tumblr media
7. Adding Navigation and Styling

How to Move Your WordPress Site from Localhost to a Live Server
Developing a WordPress site on localhost is a great way to build and test your website in a controlled environment. However, the real challenge arises when it's time to move the site from your local server to a live hosting environment. If not done correctly, you could encounter broken links, missing images, or even database errors.
In this blog, we'll guide you through a step-by-step process to successfully move your WordPress site from localhost to a live server.
Tumblr media
Step 1: Choose the Right Hosting Provider
Your first step is to select a reliable web hosting provider that meets your website’s needs. Look for:
Server Speed: Fast servers for better performance.
Uptime Guarantee: At least 99.9% uptime to ensure availability.
Ease of Use: User-friendly dashboards and tools.
WordPress Support: Hosting optimized for WordPress websites.
Popular options include Bluehost, SiteGround, and WP Engine.
Step 2: Export Your Local WordPress Database
The database is the backbone of your WordPress site. To export it:
Open phpMyAdmin on your local server (e.g., XAMPP or WAMP).
Select your WordPress database.
Click on the Export tab and choose the Quick Export method.
Save the .sql file to your computer.
Step 3: Upload Your WordPress Files to the Live Server
To move your files:
Compress Your WordPress Folder: Zip your local WordPress installation folder.
Access Your Hosting Account: Use a file manager or an FTP client like FileZilla.
Upload the Files: Transfer the zipped folder to your hosting server's root directory (usually public_html).
Unzip the Folder: Extract the files once uploaded.
Step 4: Create a Database on the Live Server
Now, set up a new database on your live hosting server:
Log in to your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel).
Navigate to the MySQL Databases section.
Create a new database, database user, and password.
Assign the user to the database with full privileges.
Step 5: Import the Database to the Live Server
Open phpMyAdmin in your hosting control panel.
Select the new database you created.
Click the Import tab.
Choose the .sql file you exported from your localhost.
Click Go to import the database.
Step 6: Update the wp-config.php File
To connect your site to the live database:
Locate the wp-config.php file in your WordPress installation.
Open the file in a text editor.
Update the following lines: define('DB_NAME', 'your_live_database_name'); define('DB_USER', 'your_live_database_user'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_live_database_password'); define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // Keep this unless your host specifies otherwise.
Save the file and upload it to your server via FTP.
Step 7: Update URLs in the Database
Your localhost URLs need to be replaced with your live site URLs.
Use a tool like Search Replace DB or run SQL queries in phpMyAdmin.
In phpMyAdmin, run the following query: UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'http://your-live-site.com' WHERE option_name = 'siteurl'; UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'http://your-live-site.com' WHERE option_name = 'home';
Step 8: Test Your Live Website
Once everything is uploaded and configured, check your website by entering its URL in a browser. Test for:
Broken Links: Fix them using plugins like Broken Link Checker.
Missing Images: Ensure media files were uploaded correctly.
Functionality: Verify forms, buttons, and features work as expected.

How Can I Create a Website Without a Domain Name? Here’s How!
Tumblr media
Creating a website without a domain name is possible and can be ideal for testing or personal projects. This guide explains how to build a website without buying a domain while keeping it functional and visible on the web.  
 Why Create a Website Without a Domain Name?
Many people choose to skip a custom domain when
1.Use a Website Builder’s Free Subdomain
Platforms like Wix, WordPress, and Weebly offer free website creation with their subdomains. For instance, instead of “yourwebsite.com,” it might look like “yourwebsite.wixsite.com.”  
Advantages:
 - No need for hosting, as most builders provide free hosting for subdomains.
   - Fast and easy to set up.
- Free or low-cost setup.
Disadvantages:
-Limited customization and branding.
Less professional-looking URL.
2.Utilize GitHub Pages for Coding Projects
For developers or those with coding knowledge, GitHub Pages provides a free hosting solution where your site can be accessible at "username.github.io/project."
 Advantages:
-Ideal for static sites, personal projects, or portfolios.
Free SSL (secure connection).
Disadvantages:
   - Requires basic coding knowledge.
   - Limited to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
3.Free Hosting Providers with Temporary URLs
Some hosting providers like InfinityFree and 000WebHost offer free plans with temporary URLs. These temporary URLs allow you to create, test, and host sites without a purchased domain.
Advantages: 
  - Cost-free hosting options.
   - Access to control panels for site management.
   - Option to add a custom domain later.
Disadvantages:
   - Advertising may be displayed.
   - Limited support and resources.
4.Use a Localhost Environment for Offline Testing
For complete control over site functionality, set up a local server using software like XAMPP or Local by Flywheel to run your website offline. While this won’t make your site publicly accessible, it’s perfect for building and testing.
Advantages:
   - Full control over testing without online exposure.
   - No internet required for access.
   - Great for testing advanced functionalities.
Disadvantages:
 - Requires technical setup.
   - Not accessible over the web.
Key Considerations for Websites Without a Domain Name
Creating a website without a domain can be useful but often comes with limitations. As your project grows or turns commercial, transitioning to a custom domain can increase credibility and improve search engine rankings.
Conclusion
Building a website without a domain name is a viable option, especially for beginners or those working on non-commercial projects. Free subdomains, GitHub Pages, free hosting services, and localhost environments make it easy to establish a web presence. Once ready to grow, consider registering a domain to enhance branding and professionalism.
