I _totally_ forgot about that.

I've edited the Apache configuration and restarted MediaWiki.

I've actually had the new box sitting around for a while, so we should
probably upgrade to that first.

I'll be installing the new Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release on it over the
weekend, and trying that out.  After that I'll probably install
MediaWiki using the SQLite3 backend, because it will be easier to
maintain / back up.  The wiki doesn't get enough traffic to need a
high-performance backend.
