====Setup: On the Server====
# Start VPN
# Login as root using PuTTY or SSHshell

====Deploy====
Do these steps as close to simultaneously as possible:

In FileZilla, <tt>apache_config</tt>
# Get the current configuration file, just in case someone else modified it
#: <tt>./get_conf</tt>
#:
# Save the current settings:
#: <tt>cp mediawiki.conf  mediawiki.conf_sav</tt>
#:
# Upload <tt>mediawiki.conf_new</tt>
# In FileZilla
#* Upload <tt>{newWiki}/LocalSettings.php</tt>
#* Upload <tt>{retiredWiki}/LocalSettings.php</tt>
#:
#In PuTTY or the SSH shell, load the new settings:
#* <tt>pushd /usr/share/mediawiki/apache_conf</tt>
#* <tt>./try</tt>
#: The script does a restart. Ignore the error that says
#::"Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name".
