migrating mediawiki

first the faculty mediawiki
the plan:
   - set up new virtual machine
   - backup data into xml
   - restore and use sqlite instead of mysql

- need to upgrade os on files in order to install php5-cli


- not sure how well the upgrade went, php is still broken with respect to dumping

- installing postgres on faculty, will restore the db, migrate, then remove postgres

- some annoyances getting apache and the new media wiki configured, partly changes in configuration files, partly missing packages.

- now dump the database and try putting it into sqlite

it took forever to reload it, and this one was relatively small, need to reconsider for the other one.

virtual machine

trying to create a new virtual machine, here goes...

try yast2

Open Suse migration

kerberos

 - trouble with gui tools, at least remotely, so trying to modify the /etc files directly

running ntpdate pool.ntp.org manually

modifying
   - krb5.conf
   - pam config files
   - nsswitch.conf

having trouble contacting the ldap server now
    rechecking the ldap client config
    somehow the host line got removed...

for some reason ssh did not generate host dsa keys, copying the old ones

disabling sssd for now

credentials seem mostly ok
