My host changed to the PHP CGI API, and as a result I lost the good urls. I've been on no less than four hosts since then and the servers are always overloaded and sloooooowwww. Can anyone recommend a low cost server where I can finally lay my wiki?
Sorry if i sent this twice, i keep sending mail through the wrong address.
Is there anyway I can get pretty urls without Apache Mod? My host just moved me to another server to keep my going for a couple of weeks until I can find a new host. They are going to change it to the CGI API and install phpexec in a couple of weeks on this server too. I love them to death, and I don't want to leave them.
Btw, they are www.doorhost.net, and I highly recommend them for everything except mediawiki :).

Hello,
MediaWiki 1.3.3 is giving strange error-messages on pages with thumbs,
but only when I use the browser Netscape 7.1 and not with IE 6.0 or
Firefox 0.9.
The error messages are the following:
Warning: shell_exec,popen,escapeshellcmd,proc_open,proc_nice() has
been disabled for security reasons in
/www/htdocs/wiki/includes/Image.php on line 179
Warning: stat() [function.stat <http://www.php.net/function.stat>]:
Stat failed for
/www/htdocs/v101777/wiki/images/thumb/5/57/180px-Kvdr-image02.jpg
(errno=2 - No such file or directory) in
/www/htdocs/wiki/includes/Image.php on line 246
Warning:

[function.unlink <http://www.php.net/function.unlink>]: No such file
or directory in /www/htdocs//wiki/includes/Image.php on line 249
Has anybody a idea what is going wrong? What can I do?
Thank you!
Markus
Thanks to those whom have responded to my email. I also apologize for
my ignorance on this issue.
One of the problems I'm facing is, according to the release notes with
the release of 1.3.0 and later, the install.php is no longer provided or
used. However, much of the installation documentation still references
this file as part of the setup. (This really confused me for a while.)
I'm not sure if and/or where an install log is generated.
Specs:
Dell 800 MHz P3 w 512MB RAM
Mandrake Linux 10.00
MediaWiki 1.3.3
Mysql 4.0.18
PHP 4.3.4
Apache 2.0.48
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi,
I'm in the middle of setting up a Wiki (v 1.3.3) server. When I connect
to the wiki directory through the web browser as this install
instructions indicate, I get the following error in the browser:
SQL error: Table 'wikidb.cur' doesn't exist
Backtrace:
Database.php line 219, in wfdebugdiebacktrace()
DatabaseFunctions.php line 103, in database::fetchobject()
MessageCache.php line 121, in wffetchobject()
MessageCache.php line 65, in messagecache::loadfromdb()
MessageCache.php line 37, in messagecache::load()
Setup.php line 179, in messagecache::initialise()
index.php line 20, in require_once()
Is this a permissions issue or have I missed a step in the setup? I've
got the database on mysql wide open now, but it still fails.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

I added two new namespaces to my wiki. They are numbered 100 and 101
respectively.
For some reason it seems that the 101 namespace defaults to a talk
about the 100 namespace. Or at least this is the way things look in
terms of the discussion and article tabs near the top. In particular
a page created in namespace 101 appears as a discussion and if you
click on the article tab it takes you to namespace 100 empty page.
Is this some sort of default behavior that odd namespaces are talk namespaces?

First of all thanks to Michelle from this list I finally found out how
to easily change the navbar/navbox. Since other people on this list
seem to be confused about this same point I will post how to do it
again. When i get a change I will add this info somewhere to
wikimedia though I'm not sure where is a good place.
Let wikiname be your wiki's name, i.e. things in the project namespace
are of the form wikiname:whatever.
Go to wikiname:All system messages . This will be a very long page.
Search for the entry on the navbar that you wish to change. For
instance if you wanted to change 'Community Portal' search for this.
You will be presented a link to change the text displayed (in the case
of community portal the variable is just portal). Nearby is another
link to change the url, usually the variable name you just
changed-url.
I'm not sure how to add *new* links. I think you may need to go out
and edit SkinPHPTal.php and xhtml...stuff.
WARNING: These changes will not take effect immediatly. After I made
my changes the very next page I displayed was updated but after that
the change did not show up on later pages for another hour or more.
This was what caused me so much confusion.
Peter
Alright, I realize this has been discussed before but the last person
who asked the question wasn't answered on the list and it is exactly
this answer that I need.
What I am trying to do is change the Community Portal link to point to
another page (WikiRPG:Design Deciscions). Looking at the suggestion
in digest 12 issue 3 I tried editing
xhtml_slim.pt
Specifically I changed the following line:
<li id="n-portal" tal:condition="nav_urls/portal/href"><a
href="${nav_urls/portal/href}"
i18n:translate="string:portal">Community Portal</a></li>
Just to see if I was doing the right thing the first thing i tried was
just changing the link name. However, this didn't work and nothing
changed on my site (I waited awhile and reloaded).
Am I modifying the wrong thing? Do I need to run one of the
maintenence scripts? Unfortunatly i simply can't find *any*
documentation on the maintence scripts or whatever.
---
As a secondary suggestions it seems that MediaWiki would really
benefit from a wiki describing these configuration issues. If I do
get an answer to this question and want to put it in a wiki would the
meta.wikimedia.org help pages be appropriate or is this information
too technical. Or am I missing some really obvious help site?
Peter
Would interested folks please check out
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X
I've made a lot of changes to the document and I was bold several
times, so I'm neither sure it's complete nor correct. Especially with
regards the actual steps required to secure things against outside
mischief. Your help and corrections are very much appreciated.
Note that the article now focuses on installation of MediaWiki on a
bog-standard (non-Server) Mac OS X installation. People installing
MediaWiki on Mac OS X Server would probably (a) be able to figure out
any potential changes they may want to make easily, (b) be on average
more competent to adapt than most non-Server users and (c) find the
instructions very similar to what they would do on OS X Server anyway.
-- That said, you're welcome to write up an additional/seperate Server
install section! ;-)
