Troubles with MediaWiki namespace
by Timwi 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hello, I have been informed that this mailing list exists to discuss MediaWiki separate from Wikipedia. Thank you to Angela for pointing this out. So, I'll re-post my question here. I'm trying to use the MediaWiki namespace on my new installation of MediaWiki. Unfortunately, {{msg:Blah}} is being replaced by nothing (i.e. it is just being removed) even though [[MediaWiki:Blah]] does contain text. What might the cause of this be? Thanks for any help, Timwi

register_globals Progress
by Thomas Rother 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Hi, as stated before, the latest mediawiki Version still requires "register_globals = on" as PHP setting.. I only have a short question: Is the avoidance of register_globals a current development issue and is there any timetable when mediawiki will be able to work without this option? Bye & thanks Thomas -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- THOMAS M. ROTHER * n e t z w i s s e n . d e * D-73728 Esslingen F.R.

Watchlist E-mail notification option?
by A Chan 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

Hello, I submitted this as a "RFE" on Sourceforge, but thought I would also ask the mailing list in case this feature has already been developed. Is there any code out there that allows MediaWiki to support automatic e-mail notification when something in a user's watchlist has changed? Thank you for your assistance, -Amy

Install help with apache httpd.conf needed
by Chris Croome 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

Hi I'm trying to get MediaWiki running on a Fedora 1 i686 box with Fedora PHP 4.3.4, Fedore Apache 2.0.48 and MySQL 4.0.17 from www.mysql.com. At the moment I'm installing one site but if it goes well I might want to install others on the same server. I'm getting confused with the directories and the suggested httpd.conf. In LocalSettings.pm I have this: $IP = "/var/www/wiki/wiki"; $wgServer = "http://wiki.example.com"; $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; $wgArticlePath = "{$wgScript}?title=$1"; For httpd.conf I have (style and upload dirs left out to make it shorter): <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName wiki.example.com DocumentRoot "/var/www/wiki" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps php_admin_flag engine off <Directory "/var/www/wiki/wiki"> DirectoryIndex wiki.phtml php_admin_flag engine on AllowOverride None order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> This basically works but at / there is the default Fedora page that is served when there is no index.html I did try getting it installed in /var/www/wiki rather than /var/www/wiki/wiki but that didn't work, I've also not got any mod-rewrite rules working (I have tried to get them working but with no luck). I'd like a directory / httpd.conf /mod_rewrite setup that would seperate off the code that is repeated for multiple sites from the site specific stuff and I'd like URIs that are as short as possible (I guess /w/ and /wiki/ can't be left out?). Do people use a ScriptAlias for /w/ or something? Does anyone have a setup that that they could post as an example (I have spent some time in this list archives and on the web site but couldn't find any answers...)? One other thing, what is the difference between these two, is the $wgDBsqlpassword variable the MySQL root password (that is what I'm using but I don't understand why I'm also prompted for it when I run install.php): $wgDBpassword = ""; $wgDBsqlpassword = ""; Thanks Chris -- Chris Croome <chris(a)webarchitects.co.uk> web design http://www.webarchitects.co.uk/ web content management http://mkdoc.com/

Um, how do you backup your wiki once it is running? I looked around and didn't see anything on that subject. Thanks, Philip

About php configuration
by Xinkui Hao 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

hi, Firstly thanks for providing such a wonderful soft. Currently I'm using postnuke to manage documents. But after I found media wiki, I decide to switch to it because it is so powerful. However, my php configuration is register_globals = off. Postnuke and some other server application I'm using is depend on this option. So, if there is any method or patch available to use mediawiki with register_globals = on? If so, that'll be great. Thanks! -- Xinkui Hao <haox(a)musc.edu>

Mediawiki on Sourceforge
by Denny Vrandecic 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

Hi, is there a possibility to install Mediawiki on a Sourceforge-Website?, and if yes, how do I do it? I'd love to use Mediawiki as the wiki for the Website of my Sourceforge-Project, and yes, I know, it is overkill in some instances, but it's so great in many others (I love free links, and not having the strange looking '?' characters in my text, and much more). So, how do I do it? Thanks in advance, Denny
