Eauthent (Email Address Authentication) incl further patches for the branched 1.4 version until Tuesday, 07.12.2004. -- working very very hard on that. Some further tests are needed, and then a first release will come - I promise, you will like my patch. Tom

Trouble setting up Mediawiki

Hi, As complete newbie to MediaWiki I have some trouble setting up the software on a Apple PB G4, OS X 10.3.6, php 4.3.4 and MySQL 4.1.7 After completing the setupform I get the following result in IE 5.2 : MediaWiki 1.3.8 installation Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

Caching question.
by Sebastien Routier 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

I am having a caching problem I think? Let say that I have an extension installed and included in my LocalSettings.php. Then I comment out the include from LocalSettings.php. Reload the page. Looks like the extension is still used. Clear the Browser cache. Looks like the extension is still used. Restart Apache.Looks like the extension is still used. ?!?!!? Rename the extension file to some weird name to hide it. Looks like the extension is still used. ?!?! Am I dreaming here? Is the server caching this somewhere ? How do I clear the cache? Ummmm! -- ______________________________________________________ Thanks. /Sebast. Visit us at http://limpingsquad.kicks-ass.org:8888/ ______________________________________________________

Blank page after posting the install form
by Jure Spik 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hello, I see this is quite a common eror, but I'm sorry, I have to ask you how to resolve it, as I'm clueless why the installation script returns just an empty page. This is the result after starting setup on my webserver (to which I have e-mail access only =) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MediaWiki 1.3.8 PHP 4.3.3: ok * Warning: PHP's register_globals <http://php.net/register_globals> option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. * PHP server API is isapi; unknown; using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title), if you have trouble change this in LocalSettings.php * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: D:\www\company\sitename.com\www\bazaznanja Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in D:\www\company\sitename.com\www\bazaznanja\config\index.php on line 306 * Script URI path: Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_ADMIN in D:\www\company\sitename.com\www\bazaznanja\config\index.php on line 312 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I can fix those two warnings by substituting the values in config/index.php but it doesn't matter... After I press "Install!" I get just an empty page. Any ideas what to try out? Server is w2k3, IIS6

Squid + Apache only logging client 127.0.0.1?
by Patrick Atoon 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Howdy, I'm running Squid 2.5 (as http_accellerator), Apache 2.0.52 and Mediawiki 1.3.8. My original setup (/wiki/index.php/...) used to work brilliantly, but I have rearranged stuff so it runs nicely without the "/wiki" or "/index.php/" bit. Works like a charm on first sight. On closer inspection, everyones client IP-address is "127.0.0.1", which matches the Apache access_log. The Squid access_log displays the client IP-address correctly, so my guess would be that Squid somehow doesn't pass on the client IP address. The strange thing is that I could swear that I didn't touch Squid's settings or restarted it and it passed on the right IP address just fine before I started fiddling with the Apache setup. So logic would dictate it is something in Apache... But disabling all RewriteRules does not bring back the correct client IP-addresses, which seems to point the finger back to Squid... Can anyone hint me where to start looking, or does anyone recognize these symptoms? I've been up and down the squid.conf and httpd.conf, but most settings make perfect sense. Greetings, Patrick -- _______________________________________________________________ Patrick Atoon ___________________ mailto:patricka@rapdict.org _____________________________________ http://www.rapdict.org/

Sorry if this is an obvious one, but my media wiki seems to be set to GMT. Is there a way to change this? It's bothering the heck out of my students. Thanks. Jerry

Uploading non-image files
by John Yu 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

I couldn't find any reference on this topic in the Mediawiki Handbook nor the mailing list: If I upload a non-image file (e.g. myDoc.pdf), does it end up in the images directory? And in my wiki page, do I use the same syntax [media:myDoc.pdf] to create a link to that file? -- John

charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not supported ?!?!
by Sebastien Routier 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

I have two servers? I swear they are identical !!! One is a test server the other is an almost-production server. I am trying to setup the almost-production server. So I did the install, dumped the database from the test server and imported it in the almost-production server. Now it almost all works like I expected. Except that using the "Geshi Syntax Highlight extension" from http://www.wickle.com/wikis/index.php/Geshi_Syntax_Highlight_extension, which looks great by the way, on the almost-production server I get tons of warning like this: Warning: htmlentities(): charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /var/www/html/wiki/extensions/geshi/geshi.php on line 1606 Warning: htmlentities(): charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /var/www/html/wiki/extensions/geshi/geshi.php on line 1439 Warning: htmlentities(): charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /var/www/html/wiki/extensions/geshi/geshi.php on line 1450 This thing works like a charm on my test server ?!?! Any clues?! PS: I am using Mandrake-Linux 10 on both machines. -- ______________________________________________________ Thanks. /Sebast.

THANK YOU! Worked almost exactly as explained [$wgContLang->formatNum( date('W') ); should have been $wgLang->formatNum( date('W') );], and your clear instructions led me step-by-step through it. Many thanks! Amgine
