After an annoyingly long series of beta releases, say hello to MediaWiki
1.3.0!
Everyone running the beta releases is _strongly_ recommended to upgrade
to the current code.
This release includes a security fix: the 1.3.0 beta releases may be
vulnerable to a PHP inclusion attack if include files are exposed and
you have allow_url_fopen and register_globals on (this is the default
configuration in PHP 4.1.x, but register_globals is off by default in
4.2.x and later).
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.

If I want to change what comes up on the left side navigation 'menu'
(things like Community Portal), what is the best way to go about it?
Hand-editing all the .css files?
Thanks,

Hi,
I just set up a Wiki-System for some part of
University and content has to remain internal, so it
would be quite nice, if not everyone is able to see
it.
My first step was to integrate this $wgWhite*-Stuff,
so that an anonymous user is just able to see
Mainpage, Special:Userlogin and Special:Userlogout.
Well. Getting to the "Secret Stuff" remains One Click
Away[tm], as people right now only need to type their
password twice and click on "add account", then they
will be forwarded to whatever they wanted to see.
As a result I would like to know if there is any
possibility that people have to do account REQUESTS
and that I have to confirm those requests (as an
admin) do some kind of authorization. And how I set it
up ;)
Thankfully yours with best regards,
Kristina Rothe

I have included the following template code but it's not working:
{{pic of the day}}
What I get as output is:
Template:Pic of the day
Did I misunderstand how to use this template properly?
My system is:
MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.3.0beta6
PHP (http://www.php.net/): 4.3.8 (apache)
MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 3.23.58

my webserver and database server are separate boxes. I'm running the media
wiki install script ,and it creates the wiki database and tables perfectly
fine, but the grant sql statements fail.
Query "GRANT ALL ON `wikidb`.* TO wikiuser@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'blah'" failed
with error code "Access denied for user: 'root@XX-XX-XX-XX' to database
'wikidb'".
where XX-XX-XX is the ip address of my database server.
i'm installing the latest 1.3 beta6 version of mediawiki.
anyone got any pointers as to what's going wrong?
thanks.

------------------------------
And another issue concerning my mediawiki :)
Our wiki is running on a Debian 3.1 Kernel 2.4.18 (std.), unstable, with
mysql-server/-stuff, apache and php4, php-mysql (4.3.2) installed with
apt, so this should be installed correctly.
It worked for the first few days without any problems, then more and
more clicks were ignored by wiki, sometimes it didn't even show the main
page.
(no hardware problem, we very often changed it because we assumed that
maybe RAM is not working correctly)
Error messages are mainly
kalliope mysqld[343]: 070811 17:53: 54 Aborted connection 167 to db:
'wikidb' user: 'wikiuser' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading
communication packets)
[notice] child pid 1071 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
I sometimes got the hint to change register_globals from on to off or
the other way around.
off= less error messages but still loads of them
on= even more :)
So, is there any solution to this?
Best regards!
yours thankfully,
Kristina Rothe

I changed the wiki.png to a logo of my own and everything was working
fine. I was using Netscape 7.1 and tested it and all looked ok.
However after a few hours I closed my browser and restarted it only to
find that png no longer showed.
I tried in IE and the png displayed correctly ...
Is this a Netscape 7.1 related problem?
In both cases I tried as a regular 'viewer' and after I had logged in
but no difference.

Hello.
I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.3.0beta6 on my ISP account. This
makes it hard to modify php.ini (and to upgrade to anything higher
then PHP 4.2.3.)
I can properly launch the wiki/config/index.php file, and sets the
admin and database account. (I have a user on a MySQL DB.)
When I press "Install!" I get some output (appended at the end), and
then the pages finishes loading.
This could be the same problem as discussed in
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-June/000525.html
however it was not properly resolved back then (for all participant in
the discussion).
Here is the output after I pressed "Install!":
MediaWiki 1.3.0beta6 installation
Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.
Checking environment...
* WARNING: PHP 4.3.2 or higher is recommended. Older versions from
4.1.x up may work but are not actively supported. PHP 4.2.3: ok
* PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title)
* Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
* PHP is configured with no memory_limit.
* Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
* Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled.
* Installation directory:
* Script URI path: /johans/wiki

Good day. I'm a new user to MediaWiki.
I'm having problems getting it installed.
* used today's nightly.
* install went with no difficulty. the only seeming weirdness was
that I chose a CreativeCommon license, and when the CC site
"proceeded" me back to the install page, I had to manually
choose the CC license radiobox (UI-wise, the existence of
the form values, or a referrer from CC shoulda checked
that radiobutton for me automatically).
* after going through the install, I moved my LocalSettings.php
into place, and proceeded to loadup the index.php. all I
received was a blank page (which contained the <html><body>
</body></html> things of a typical PHP error).
Things I've looked at and tried:
* I'm not seeing any PHP errors in my error log (E~ALL) at all.
* I've confirmed that register_globals is on. In my .htaccess
file for the /wiki directory, I've got the following:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value register_globals 1
php_value log_errors 1
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine off
</IfModule>
I know .htaccess files work because these are actually overrides
for a parent .htaccess file I've previously created (which turns
OFF register globals).
* My PHP does NOT have iconv compiled (confirmed by looking at the
compile line in an phpinfo()), and I am not able to recompile it.
I put the iconv() hack into LocalSettings.php, same blank page,
then realized that the iconv hack is now in the nightly (includes/
GlobalFunctions). I am worried, however, about the "might not
work", but I would have suspected seeing some sort of "function
iconv not defined" or whatever in my error log.
* Running "php index.php" from the command line doesn't give me
much info besides a few warnings (this command was run NOT as
the web server user, but rather as the root user):
Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in DefaultSettings.php on line 22
Undefined index: SERVER_PORT in DefaultSettings.php on line 23
Undefined index: SERVER_PORT in DefaultSettings.php on line 23
Undefined index: REQUEST_METHOD in Setup.php on line 90
Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in Setup.php on line 90
Uninitialized string offset: 0 in Setup.php on line 233
The only thing this confirms is a) well, it's at least loading
up Setup.php, and c) the index undefines are caused because
I'm running from the command line, not the Apache environ.
Any further thoughts on this? I'm not sure where else to explore.
