Thank you for this information. My problems are that my web host restricts
MySQL so the users scrip can not grant the permissions. I also have
problems which appear to be caused by my inability to log on as
root. Finally, and most of all, I am quite ignorant about Linux, MySQL,
PHP, etc.
Therefore I bought a computer so I can experiment and educate myself on
Linux, etc. Once I am halfway competent, I will look for a host.

I noticed when you put in a article a telnet url, like
telnet://demetro:902 it is not a active link like whit http, ftp or gopher.
Can telnet be included in the default settings?

Thank you Very Much!!! My local wikipedia, using wikimedia software is
up and running. I was very excited to see that!
Now, I shall study the various docs to figure out the tweakings to our
taste.

Hello Mediawiki Group,
I must admit that, I am a relative newbie
to LAMP itself.
I want to implement a local wiki using a wikimedia software. I have
setup the apache server, configured PHP with Apache and MySQL daemon is
also running.
I downloaded the mediawiki software and installed it.
BUT my problem is I am not sure, if I am giving the correct Path to
various files.
My Apache server interprets PHP files if they are located at
/var/www/html (DocumentRoot "/var/www/html")
I also noticed that myApache server interprets the PHP files,only if it
is in .php format and does not read .phtml format.(AddType
application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml is Set)
What changes,should make in the LocalSettings.php and AdminSettings.php
?
When I compile, I also get a warning stating that
WARNING: register_globals is not on; MediaWiki currently relies on this
option.
If I compile without any changes to the LocalSettings and AdminSettings
and Link /usr/local/apache/htdocs/wiki/wiki.phtml to index.php (in my
DocumentRoot folder) , then my PHP is not being properly interpreted.
This is far from using http://www.myhost.com/wiki/wiki.phtml to view the
file. ( This is not at all getting recognized)
What steps should I follow the setup the correct path in the setings.
Which paths need to be setup to what?
Kindly help me.
Thank you.
Regards,
Senthil
My system configuration is:
1) Redhat Linux 3.0 Enterprise
2) Apache 2.0
3) PHP 4.3.2 ent
4) MySQL 3.23
5) Downloaded the latest stable version of mediawiki.

I don't know of a Mediawiki farm, but I don't see why a shared hosting
environment would not work. Maybe you can post the problem you had here
or the wikitech list.
There is a 4th option though besides shared hosting, dedicated hosting,
and using your DSL line. You can run your own "virtual" linux box for
around $20/month using User-Mode Linux (UML), but you'd need to know or
learn about linux system administration. See this page:
http://holton.ltc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/UserModeLinux
I'm using UML hosting to move my wiki and set up other wikis too. I'm
hoping to switch to the MediaWiki engine if the memory & processor
requirements aren't too steep.

Hello list,
I'm tying to install Mediawiki on a debian-system.
I already came that far that I can see the "Main Page" but
I can not use any links on them. Is there a other wikisystem or or some

Maybe I missed some information. Can someone help?

I've been trying to get mediawiki-1.1.0 to work. This time make math did
work and I get some math functions, but incomplete ones, see:
http://dev.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Trigonometry
By logging in and selecting HTML preferences you can get that part of it to
work but not PNG or the modern browsers selection.
These are the LocalSettings.php I have made on math.
$wgMathPath = "{$wgServer}/math";
$wgMathDirectory = "/public/html/colorado/math";
Any ideas?
Fred
Yesterday I downloaded MediaWiki 1.1.0 and updated our 20030829 version.
Kudos to the development team and especially Brion for merging all the development branches into a stable version!
Everything went smoothly and all functionality works fine (and looks good) except for one:
When I click on Upload file it displays <uploaddisabled>.
I have searched through the archives (wikitech-l.mbox and mediawiki-l.mbox) and couldn't find any references as to where the setting is to enable uploads. I have looked through LocalSettings.php and DefaultSettings.php and even Language.php and can't find the right variable. Maybe I'm just blind.
All the images that are uploaded already are displaying fine, I just can't upload any more.
So where is the setting to enable uploads? Or is it not that simple? And if it is just a setting, is there a reason why it defaults to off?
Thanks,
Michael Richards (Nanobug)
PS Installation is Red Hat Linux, Apache 2.0.48, MySQL 11.18, PHP 4.3.3
When I run install.php on ibilio with the new release MediaWiki-1.1.0 I get
the Warning message:
WARNING: register_globals is not on; MediaWiki currently relies on this
option.
Is this in fact true? I don't think I have access on Ibiblio to php.ini on
Ibiblio.
Or was this patch added?

If I need the patch and it works, Where would it go and could someone send
it to me. I might be able to be ibiblio to change it but probably not if it
affects all ibiblio accounts.
