This is my first mediawiki installation and I am doing it all through
ftp. I had already some help in the village pump.
Everything goes fine in the installation. I finish the installer script
(the config folder) and he tells me everything is okay, just copy local
settings (wich I did) and go visit your wiki. But then absolutelly
nothing happens. From mozilla or IE (both in pc or mac) the site simply
does nto responds. Safari say that:
Safari can't open the page:
"http://www.wanderingabout.com/kiwi/index.php/Main_Page"
because it could not load any data from this location.
In Village Pump, Brion Vib told me that this was a possible php server
crashing, and advised me to install the newer version 1.4rc1. I just
did it arriving at the same results.
I am clueless again. Must not be very polite to go an crash somebody
else's server (they are in argentina, i am in brazil).
Thanks

Hi,
I installed mediawiki on a Windows Server 2003 and PHP 4.3.10. After
some trouble with the new password encryption in MySQL I finally managed
to get it up. I can browse the wiki and pretty much do anything with it.
However, on the top of all my pages I get the following error:
Notice: Undefined index REQUEST_URI in D:\web\wiki\includes\Setup.php on
line 113
Can someone please tell me what is going on and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Christian

I've composed one for myself here:

Is it possible to use the Special:Export to dump more than one page at once?

Attached are the editing instructions from our MediaWiki-based Intranet.
Hope this helps.
As and when people ask how to do a specific thing we add content to it - the
idea is it only contains the things that people need to know for our
particular site. Adding all the wiki-tags we decided would be
counter-productive as it would just create confusion in our user base and
reduce uptake of this solution which we are 'selling' as easy-to-use with
just half a dozen things people need to know.
Cheers,
al.

Sounds like the old joke:
"...you had copyright, which is what the big companies use to lock
everything up
...you had copyleft, which is free software's way of making sure they
can't lock it up
...and then Berkeley had what we called 'copycenter', which is 'take
it down to the copy center and make as many copies as you want.' " --

[I figured out the multiple page output issue]
Now I'm wondering how I re-import those pages, the import function is
not yet enabled in the web interface. I guess what I'm asking is if
I want to migrate part of a current wiki to a new wiki, how would I
best do that?

I wanted to use other layout engines besides dot(1), so I hacked
Graphviz.php to allow a Unix-style interpreter specification for the
other rendering engines in Graphviz. This is backwards compatible
(since it is a legal dot comment) and avoids coming up with new syntax.
The interpreter spec must immediately follow the opening tag:
"<graphviz>#!/sw/bin/neato" for example. I explicitly check for allowed
rendering engines to avoid script injection security issues.
Extension at: <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/InfoArk/Graphviz.php.gz>
Annotated examples at: <http://www.IslandSeeds.org/wiki/Test:Graphviz>
Enjoy!
PS: It would be nice to have "out of band" communications with
extensions, like <graphviz engine="neato">. It could simply bundle up
everything it finds in the tag into an associative array. This would be
very useful (for example) in text-wrapping, since so many extensions
seem to generate images. (<graphviz style="float:right">, for example)

I notice the html <meta keyword=""> tags of my wiki pages are populated
with not only my page titles, but also the title of any linked wiki
pages, images and templates. But I checked wikipedia.org, only the page
title is used in the <meta keyword="">.
1. Where is it configured?
2. Having the linked pages aded to the meta tag is ok, I think. But
adding the template and image titles to it is not right. Is it possible
to just exclude templates and images?
Thanks
