The project will create a tool that when given the database details of a mediawiki installation, the name of a category from wikipedia and a language, will populate my mediawiki (with modified templates and skins) with the complete content of the category in the language I specify into another mediawiki installation.

The key components are as follows.

1. The ability of users to edit the pages on the new install just like they would at wikipedia
2. A process initiated on demand by a human controller to copy the databases of the two categories from their wikipedia.org source to the new install. (Should be copied from http://download.wikimedia.org/). This should be accessible from a webpage, and not require the page be open after I submit the details for it to complete.
3. The database copy must be resumable if it fails, and resume automatically.
4. If a page at the new install has been modified by a user, the page will not be automatically replaced by the wikipedia.org page. After the database copy, the controller is notified of all pages that have not been replaced and has the option to choose to require the program to replace pages that he selects manually to be replaced.
5. Any wikipedia.org links within a page that point to a wikipedia page that does not exist within the music category should be removed.

Ideally you would have some prior experience in mediawiki development that you could show me. Although this is not critical if you can demonstrate proficiency in the necessary skills.

I am running Plesk on my server (CentOS).

I needed to upgrade the Apache and PHP installation to the latest version.

I upgraded apache to 2.2.8 and PHP to version 5.2.8.
From the command line I see these versions:

httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix)
Server built: Jan 21 2008 05:55:18

php -v
PHP 5.2.8 (cli) (built: Feb 24 2009 21:52:08)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

However Apache is still running PHP version 5.2.6.
This is the version shown in phpinfo();

Your job is to help me get apache using the newly version PHP version of 5.2.8 instead of 5.2.6.

I cannot give you server access but will work with you via instant messenger to issue the commands you need.

Thank you.
