Hello, you Can the requirement Here

Required software
Supported software

• MySQL.
• Web Server: Apache, Abyss Web Server or IIS.
• PHP 5.x (dependent on version).
• Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. - Server operating systems (optional): Windows Server 2003/Windows Server 2008 Proven.

a local MTA (mail transport agent) or accessible SMTP server
if you wish to support user confirmation or email change notifications
note: the MediaWiki 1.12 installer does not determine whether a local MTA is present before installation begins

Mediawiki – the code itself
Notes: While the Mediawiki development teams are familiar with LAMP, under Windows you are much better off with WIMP (Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP). Apache under Windows is a loser, especially if you are going to do any sort of Active Directory integration. Certainly, running both Apache and IIS is confusing, error prone, and generally more work than it's worth. For this reason, the following stack is recommended (at this time). The guideline is to use the native tools as much as possible. They generally work better and you are more likely to get better support.

• Windows 200x Server (I use Win2KAS), Windows XP, or Windows Vista Ultimate
• PHP5.x (ISAPI version only, forget CGI)
• MySQL 5.x
• IIS 6 (Windows 2K) or IIS7 (XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008)

For full production sites; one of the Windows server configurations is recommended. But this whole stack can even be implemented on a Vista or XP laptop, for example for use as a development environment.

your Network Requirement Should meet the Following Network

For those of you choosing a hosting environment, you don't have much choice. However, if you are self-hosting or hosting on a corporate Intranet, there is one primary rule and it applies equally to Windows, Unix, or Linux; Never expose any computer directly to the raw Internet.This is because they are ALL vulnerable. The best and simplest Internet access method is via a NAT router behind which you can hide your laptops, workstations, and servers. You can then make your servers available via pinhole-route/port-forwarding techniques. The big benefit is that NAT boxes are too stupid to hack and only do exactly as they are told.Putting a computer directly on the internet is asking to get it hacked by viruses, worms, bot herders, or somebody's pet cat. Most zombies are exactly such machines. Any instructions beyond this point assumes that you have a secure network.

These are also some of the Basic but optional requirement and Below Here You Can also checkout the hardware requirement HOpe it Will helpful to You

Optional utilities

• Texvc (needed for rendering Math formulas)
• PHP optimising software (Zend Optimizer). Cleans up compiled PHP code to make it run 50-100% more efficiently.
• PHP caching software (Turke Memcache or eAccelerator). Saves the compiled PHP for future use, so it doesn't need to be recompiled, speeding up execution by 100x or so.
• Image processing software (ImageMagick or GD). Used for format conversion and thumbnails
• Web page caching software (Squid). Used to store rendered pages for re-use

.

Hardware
You will also need some serious hardware for a large database, e.g. the full Wikipedia database, depending on how much demand it will require. Meta-wiki has some information on how many clients its clusters support, and their configuration, which can be used to gauge this.

• A minimum of 256MB of RAM is recommended.
• Updates:
  • Under Vista, 2GB of RAM is recommended
  • Under the Windows Server versions, 2-4GB is recommended depending if the RDBMS will be implemented on the same box. If the database is going to be on another box, then 2GB should be sufficient.
  • Win2KAS needs at least 512MB of RAM.
    • The threshold condition is whether or not the server can run without pulling pages from the swapper.
