RE: [Mediawiki-l] Database Corruption
by Arthur Guy 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

I have had another go with this today but the same message keeps coming back about permissions I can't see what other permissions the maintenance scripts need Arthur arthur(a)astarsolutions.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: Arthur Guy [mailto:arthur@astarsolutions.co.uk] Sent: 29 June 2005 19:48 To: 'MediaWiki announcements and site admin list' Subject: RE: [Mediawiki-l] Database Corruption Thanks for replying, I hadn't filled out the details in adminsettings.php. I created a new database user and put the account details in that file and re-ran the rebuild script, it came back with a message saying the user I had created didn't have permission. I gave the user the following privileges SELECT INSERT UPDATE DELETE INDEX ALTER Are there any other privileges it needs? Thanks Arthur arthur(a)astarsolutions.co.uk -----Original Message----- Make sure AdminSettings.php is present and contains correct username and password settings as per AdminSettings.sample. Note that rebuildIndex.php requires ALTER TABLE permission (iirc) to drop and re-add the fulltext index. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) 'a star solutions' disclaimer The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Page creation and wpEditToken
by Lars Aronsson 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

When I edit a page in MediaWiki, the form contains these hidden variables: <input type='hidden' value="20051008140830" name="wpStarttime" /> <input type='hidden' value="20051008140830" name="wpEdittime" /> <input type='hidden' value="106c45867969e6679906ec3acc5b7c2e" name="wpEditToken" /> I guess they are used to detect and resolve edit conflicts. Are these values necessary when I (or a robot) create a new page? I guess the timestamps could be set to 1970 or blank, to ensure that the robot doesn't overwrite any existing pages? In http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Bulk_Page_Creator the script retrieves the edit page only to extract the token. What's the point in this? What is the function of wpEditToken? -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se

MediaWiki Forum
by admin＠mwusers.com 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I recently installed MediaWiki and was surprised to find no forum for users/webmasters/developers. Rather than post a complaint (like several others I saw), I have created one at http://www.mwusers.com . Anyone is welcome, of course. I registered the forum only a few days ago, but the software and portal are all set up and working properly. I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be to announce this here, but I would like other forum-oriented people like myself to know there is now an option. If I have violated any rules of etiquette in sending this, please accept my sincere apologies. Hope to see some of you there. Travis

Help with Install
by Tim Erickson 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I'd like to hire someone to install MediaWiki for me (ASAP) and help with customization. I'm willing to pay (small budget). I'll be using MediaWiki to help facilitate on online student conference of more than 400 students from 70+ countries, to discuss reform of the United Nations. http://discuss.politalk.org/un/ I'll need this help this weekend - ASAP. Please contact me offline if your interested and have experience installing and customizing MediaWiki. Please, provide some idea of what it would cost to help with a fairly simple install (I hope it will be simple). NOTE: I actually tried to install myself, but its not working properly. http://www.politalk.org/wiki Thanks, Tim Erickson tim(a)politalk.com -- ================================================= Tim Erickson http://www.politalk.com St. Paul, MN - USA 651-643-0722 tim(a)politalk.com iChat/AIM: stpaultim =================================================

1.5 upgrade problem
by Namrah 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

Hey all, I just upgraded to 1.5. I had some problems with basedir restrictions during the upgrade (which I'll follow up with with my host) but after that it saw it was upgrading and did the upgrade, and reported successful. I copied over LocalSettings.php but now when I attempt to go to the wiki (eewiki.com<http://eewiki.com>) I get an error: *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function: getspecial() in * /home/pmh3133/public_html/eewiki/wiki* on line *97 Any idea how I can rectify this? Thank you! -Lisa *

1.5.0 mime_magic crash
by FxParlant 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hello, I've just installed and upgraded to mediawiki 1.5. Wiki crashes on call to a page with an image. I mean that the page contains a wiki link to an image. Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic file (null) is not avaliable in C:\apache2\htdocs\mediawiki15\includes\MimeMagic.php on line 476 Same message for all images accessed through the "Special:AllPages namespace=6" (the name of the image appears in the list, and the image is in the image subfolder) QUESTIONS 1)Hopefully it is due to my upgrade. Can someone tell me which step I missed ? 2)Is it a 1.5 bug ? Is there already a patch or some line of code I should insert somewhere. 3)Should I give more informations ? CONTEXT: mediawiki 1.5.0 windows XP (before uploading) MySQL 4.0.26-nt PHP Version 4.3.4 mime_magic support enabled mime_magic.magicfile c:\php4\magic.mime Thanks a lot for any help. François

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Multiple Wikis with no prefix in database?
by Rob Church 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Don't re-run the install script, just copy the LocalSettings.php file into the root folder of the "child" wikis and tweak the "name" variables and so forth. Also check the paths. Note that they will share the same users, data and MediaWiki interface; whatever changes in one (that is saved to DB) will change in the other. Rob Church On 07/10/05, Kent S.
