Adding a user externally
by Piyush Varma 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Hi, Is there an IDE for PHP (like Visual Studio)? I would like to single step MW code so that I can find out why a user name is not recognized, even if it exists in the user table? Thank you, Piyush

Re: Media WiKi - Newly added user database...

> We also added 051219 to the user_touch column field for every user we > created, so maybe that is also a problem... When I've successfully populated users directly into the database, I only filled in the fields I was confident of. That worked as of MW 1.4 +. I haven't tried it on 1.5.3 yet. I'd try emptying a user_touched field and seeing if that helps. Of course, no one will be able to log in until they email themselves a password. :::: Remember, it isn't paranoia if they're REALLY out to get 'cha. -- Frank Zappa :::: :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/Item/99-6313-13> ::::

Media WiKi - Newly added user database record is not recognized by MediaWik Web Interface
by Piyush Varma 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

Hi, I added several rows to the user table. The following fields were populated: user_name, user_password, user_newpassword, user_real_name, and user_email. When I try to log in MediaWiki using one of the user names, I receive the message: There is no user by the name "Pritchie". Check your spelling, or use the form below to create a new user account. But the "Pritchie" (user_name column value) exists in the user table. What should I do please? Thank you, Piyush

CSS Problem in Firefox 1.0.7 (windows) and 1.0.5 (mac)
by Chris Braiotta 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hi, I've just installed the wikimedia engine on our apache server; all works fine, except the CSS stuff isn't rendered in Firefox 1.0.5 for the Mac, and Firefox 1.0.7 for Windows. Firefox 1.0.6 for Windows works fine, as does Safari and IE. We already have the line "text/css css" in mime.types, and just to be safe I added the line "AddType text/css .css" to httpd.conf. Here's where it gets weird. There's a developer toolbar in Firefox that lets you play with the CSS info for a page; when I load the page into that (using the "edit css" menu option), the style info suddenly appears. Any help would be appreciated for this somewhat minor but still annoying problem! Thanks, Chris Braiotta Systems Engineer Network Operations Center Harvard University

Rob, Thanks again for your answer. On Wikipedia.org, it uses the following three templates to render a portal. It opens the box in the first template and then tries to enclose the second (content) template inside the box, finally tries to close this box by the third template. 1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-header 2.{content template} 3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer thanks again jc Message: 8 Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 15:10:17 +0000 From: Rob Church <robchur(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] templates To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <e92136380512200710x6222efe9t(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 1.

Well, the first assumption was clearly stated in the part you cut out! But the rest of your reasons are well taken. :::: I see and admire your manner of living, your warm houses, your extensive fields of corn, your gardens, your cows, oxen, work-horses, wagons, and a thousand machines, that I know not the use of. I see that you are able to clothe yourself, even from weeds and grass. In short you can do almost what you choose. You whites possess the power of subduing almost every animal to your use. You are surrounded by slaves. Everything about you is in chains, and you are slaves yourselves. I hear I should exchange my presents for yours. I too should become a slave. Talk to my sons, perhaps they may be persuaded to adopt your fashions, or at least to recommend them to their sons; but for myself, I was born free, was raised free, and wish to die free. -- Big Soldier, 1820 :::: :::: Jan Steinman http://www.IslandSeeds.org :::: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

"user_groups" database corruption
by mediawiki＠x11.cjb.net 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

I've been running mediawiki at sauwiki.com (a site for my school) for a couple of years now. I upgraded a couple of months ago to the latest version, and it has been working fine until last week, when it greeted me with the database error you can see there now: A database error has occurred Query: SELECT ug_group FROM `user_groups` WHERE ug_user = '1' Function: User::loadFromDatabase Error: 1017 Can't find file: 'user_groups.MYI' (errno: 2) (localhost) Backtrace: * GlobalFunctions.php line 451 calls wfbacktrace() * Database.php line 408 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace() * Database.php line 358 calls databasemysql::reportqueryerror() * Database.php line 734 calls databasemysql::query() * User.php line 692 calls databasemysql::select() * User.php line 622 calls user::loadfromdatabase() * Setup.php line 209 calls user::loadfromsession() * index.php line 63 calls require_once() I tried to run check tables on it, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I found this person: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-September/007350.html who had the same problem, and the suggestion was to ask the host about fixing the database, but when I contacted iPowerweb they told me their databases were working fine, and that they didn't support third party software. When I use phpmyadmin I get a similar error when trying to browse the "users_groups" table, but the other tables are still there. So what I am asking, is how can I restore my wiki without losing the data? Thank you, Brian
