PHP error
by Jorgen Bodde 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

Hi list, I have been using MediaWiki for a day now and I just added my main page. The first time saving was ok, but now everytime I want to edit a new page and press save or preview I get this PHP error: *Fatal error*: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module. in */home/virtual/site155/fst/var/www/html/codeshop/wiki/includes/User.php* on line *146 *This is some file I didn't edited, so I am sure the error is not caused by me.When this happens, everything locks up and I Cannot do anything anymore for this session. Here is some config info maybe it is useful: Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/virtual/site155/fst/var/www/html/codeshop/wiki/install-utils.inc on line 26 # PHP 4.3.4 ok # PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) # Have zlib support; enabling output compression. # Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. # Installation directory: /home/virtual/site155/fst/var/www/html/codeshop/wiki # Script URI path: /codeshop/wiki # MySQL error 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) # Trying regular user... ok. # Connected to database... 3.23.58 # Database solidsteel_nl_-_ourdata exists # Creating tables... done. # Initializing data... # Created sysop account WikiSysop. # Initialising log pages... # Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace... Reading....done Setting up....Done Processing...Done Writing...Done Writing to MediaWiki:All_messages Finished Creating LocalSettings.php... Success! Move the LocalSettings.php file into the parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki. ---- Does anybody have an idea? I am clueless. PHP runs well on the host site. I have done no shocking stuff to the MediaWiki page. Regards, - Jorgen

MediaWiki 1.3.1 released
by Brion Vibber 14 Aug '04

14 Aug '04

1.3.1 fixes some of the remaining problems in 1.3.0: * Watchlist parameters now work with register_globals off * Fixed parsing of ''italics'' and '''bold''' mark-up (again) * Special:Allpages display is more sensible on smaller wikis * Fixed XHTML parsing error in classic skins * Moved pages update watchlist correctly * Fixed rebuildall.php on case-sensitive Unix filesystems * Disabled file cache compression by default due to incompatibility with output buffer compression (ob_gzhandler) * New magic word PAGENAMEE (URL-escaped version of PAGENAME) * Installation avoids blank username; better message on missing XML module * $wgWhitelistAccount no longer breaks all logins. Anyone still running the 1.3 beta releases is _strongly_ recommended to upgrade to the current code due to numerous fixed bugs and a security vulnerability in the betas with some PHP configurations. Note that while MediaWiki through 1.1 required register_globals to be on, 1.2 and 1.3 *do not*. If you have register_globals on, you should turn it off unless you are absolutely sure you require it for some other package. See http://php.net/register_globals for general information.

changing license- cacheing problem?
by Graham Seaman 14 Aug '04

14 Aug '04

Hi, I've just installed 1.3.0 (upgrading from a beta) and have got stuck trying to change the license statement which appears in the footer on editing. I want to replace 'FDL' with 'Public Domain'. During installation I selected 'none' for the license statement, but it inserted the GNU FDL message anyway. I couldn't work out any way to edit the copyrightwarning variable in Special:Allmessages, so I hand edited the Language.php file instead to replace FDL with Public Domain. No change in the output page. I edited the messages in the objectcache table; on editing the original message gets replaced in the table. I assume it's been cached somewhere, but can't work out where: I've deleted the template file in /tmp, stopped and started apache, rebooted the system, grepped wildly... no luck. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking? Thanks for any help Graham

Re: [Mediawiki-l] No logins with wgWhitelistAccount ???
by Marc Gimpel 14 Aug '04

14 Aug '04

I've noticed the same problem. My config is: $wgWhitelistEdit = true; # true = user must login to edit. $wgWhitelistRead = false; $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 ); In fact it seemed to be working until I used the Sysop account to create a user (using the Special:Userlogin page). >From that point on, it was impossible to login, I would systematically get: Sysop access required The action you have requested can only be performed by users with "sysop" status

Upgrade from 1.2.x -> 1.3 = Special:Allpages broken?
by Bruce Bertrand 14 Aug '04

14 Aug '04

Recently upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 and Spacial:Allpages is not showing all pages. Am I misunderstanding the usage of this page? This is the first time I'm really using this feature. Bruce

No logins with wgWhitelistAccount ???
by Bruce Bertrand 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

Just set up 1.3 and everything went smoothly, except... When I added "$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( 'user' => 0, 'sysop' => 1, 'developer' => 1 );" to the config file, no one can log in. Shouldn't this only disable account creation, not login's from existing users (like WikiSysop)? Bruce

Re: [Mediawiki-l] wfQuery() fails
by Len Yabloko 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

Brion, Thanks a lot for your help. It works fine as long as it can find the searched string. Otherwise, it just takes too long to search, I guess. Anyway, is there any documentation explaining the search strategy and table relations? Leonid Yabloko Next Generation Software www.ontospace.net

setting mediawiki 1.2.6 to read-only mode?
by JT.Thomas＠VerizonWireless.com 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

dang-it I could swear I've seen this addressed already on the list, or on meta, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a line you can add to LocalSettings.php to set mediawiki 1.2.6 to read-only mode? I want to be able to do this so I can do a parallel upgrade to 1.3.0 while keeping a copy available for consumption (but no editing of content) to the users. Best Regards, JT
