# How do I log in to MediaWiki?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-mediawiki

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "MediaWiki is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows. The login is `Yonetici`, which is Turkish for "admin", with a capital Y. There is no setup screen.
5. Open your name at the top right, go to **Preferences** and update your email address and password.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to MediaWiki.

## Good to know

- The interface starts in Turkish and the time zone is Istanbul.
- Visitors can read pages but can't edit them or create accounts. To change that, edit the `$wgGroupPermissions` lines in `/opt/seturack/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php`.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

To use your own domain, see [this article](https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-connect-your-own-domain).

**No server yet?** [Order a server with MediaWiki installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/mediawiki-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
