Images for each step will be added later.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
* Hosting provider: Hostinger<br />
* Software: MediaWiki<br />
* DNS provider: Cloudflare<br />
* Deployment type: Subdomain, https://docs.saxtonpublishing.com<br />
<br />
== Step 1: Create a New Website in Hostinger ==<br />
<br />
1. Log in to the Hostinger control panel: <br />
https://hpanel.hostinger.com/<br />
<br />
2. From the left menu, select '''Websites'''.<br />
<br />
3. Click the '''Add website''' button above the websites list.<br />
<br />
4. From the dropdown menu, select '''Custom PHP/HTML website'''.<br />
<br />
5. When prompted with '''Who is the website for''', select: <br />
'''Myself or my business''' and click '''Next'''.<br />
<br />
6. On the '''What domain or subdomain would you like to use?''' screen:<br />
* Enter: <code>docs.saxtonpublishing.com</code><br />
* Select the option indicating the domain is owned by you.<br />
* Click '''Next'''.<br />
<br />
7. Hostinger may display an error stating the domain is not owned by Hostinger. <br />
'''Ignore this warning.''' It is expected and resolved later via DNS configuration.<br />
<br />
8. Once the site is created:<br />
* A new subdirectory is created under <code>public_html</code>.<br />
* The site may show an error state until DNS is configured.<br />
<br />
== Step 2: Configure DNS in Cloudflare ==<br />
<br />
The <code>saxtonpublishing.com</code> domain is managed via Cloudflare.<br />
<br />
1. Log in to Cloudflare: <br />
https://dash.cloudflare.com/login<br />
<br />
2. Select the <code>saxtonpublishing.com</code> domain.<br />
<br />
3. From the left menu, select '''DNS'''.<br />
<br />
4. Click '''Add record'''.<br />
<br />
5. Create an '''A record''' with the following values:<br />
* '''Type:''' A<br />
* '''Name:''' <code>docs</code><br />
* '''IPv4 address:''' <code>82.29.199.163</code><br />
* '''Proxy status:''' Proxied<br />
* '''TTL:''' Auto<br />
* '''Comment:''' subdomain for Wiki<br />
<br />
6. Click '''Save'''.<br />
<br />
DNS propagation usually completes quickly but may take several minutes.<br />
<br />
== Step 3: Install MediaWiki ==<br />
<br />
1. Return to the Hostinger dashboard and open '''Websites'''.<br />
<br />
2. Select the site for <code>docs.saxtonpublishing.com</code>.<br />
<br />
3. Click '''Auto Installer'''.<br />
<br />
4. From the installer options, select '''Other'''.<br />
<br />
5. In the application search dropdown, select '''MediaWiki'''.<br />
<br />
6. Click '''Select'''.<br />
<br />
7. On the '''Install MediaWiki''' screen:<br />
* Enter the Wiki name<br />
* Create an Administrator username<br />
* Set the Administrator password<br />
<br />
8. Click '''Next''' to begin installation.<br />
<br />
After installation completes, the wiki is available at: <br />
<code>https://docs.saxtonpublishing.com</code><br />
<br />
