Installation problem - Newbie
by Michael Rhoadarmer 21 Apr '05

Just setup MediaWiki 1.4.0 on a Suse 9 enterprise server, Apache 2.0.49 and PHP is 4.3.4. Everything seemed to go great until I tried to log in a the sysop or try to go to Special:UserLogin. I get the error message Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_set_cookie_params() in /srv/www/htdocs/includes/User.php on line 305. I know its probably a real simple setting somewhere. Can someone direct me to it? Michael Rhoadarmer, Media Systems Manager Wheaton College Wheaton, IL 60187 michael.r.rhoadarmer(a)wheaton.edu

Converting links table to ID-ID... fails on Solaris - [reprise]

Hi, Since this was a brand-new install of mysql 4.1, I just removed it and installed MySQL 4.0.24. I then reconfigured and rebuilt php 5.0.4 with the previous library. >Since your MySQL server doesn't have a password set on the local root > account, the initial connection which tries this first succeeds. I did set the root password on the local root account for MySQL before I ran the media wiki installation -- i.e., I can no longer connect to any mysql utility as -u root without specifying -p and typing in the password. After I deleted the 4.1 mysql install, I recompiled php 5.0.4 to use the 4.0 mysql library. I then run the media wiki install with the *exact* same failure [see below]. So, is there another cause of this problem [Converting links table to ID-ID...] or did I goof something up? Does this have something to do with multiple MySQL servers running on the same host as the WiKi? I'm specifying the fqdn for the host + the port for this new mysql server, i.e., myhost.example.com:3307 [it's all internal to our WAN, not in a DMZ].

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 MediaWiki 1.4.2 is a security and bug fix release for the 1.4 stable release series.

Several other bugs are fixed in this release. All new installations are highly recommended to use 1.4.2 instead of 1.3.x; existing 1.3.x users should consider upgrading for bug fixes and new features. A 1.3.12 maintenance release is available with the Tidy fix; the relevant change is in includes/Parser.php. === Changes from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 === * Fix math options in Finnish localization * Use in-process Tidy extension if available when $wgUseTidy is on * (bug 1933) Fix PATH_INFO usage under IIS with PHP ISAPI module * (bug 1188) <nowiki> in {{subst:}} includes fixed * (bug 1936)  in {{subst:}} includes fixed * Fix a potential MSIE JavaScript injection vector in Tidy mode Release notes for 1.4.2: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=322146 Download: http://prdownloads.sf.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.4.2.tar.gz?download http://prdownloads.sf.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.3.12.tar.gz?download Before asking for help, try the FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_FAQ Low-traffic release announcements mailing list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce Wiki admin help mailing list: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l Bug report system: http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/ Play "stump the developers" live on IRC: #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCZxJewRnhpk1wk44RAj0EAKCKfIGUwsFpSZySXIUFLvqIpXGavgCeIFrN dEbjqvbZHQBzvfg/+WixDL4= =5TdO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I've read this thread: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-April/000353.html but still I cannot figure out how, if at all, can I get the current local time from {{CURRENTTIME}}. Is there a way? -- /L/e/k/t/u

Opera auto-changes my SSL URL to include ":443"?
by Matt England 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hello, As you all have probably guessed by my recent emails, I have a new MediaWiki running at my site. Thus far I'm completely loving it. Another minor thing I'm trying to fix: My Opera browser (and not the others) tacks on a ":443" to my SSL access URL during the http-to-https redirects. Any way I can change my server (Apache, MediaWiki, etc) to prevent Opera from doing this? Alternatively, is there something I can change in Opera (I'm running Opera 7.54u1)? I'd rather do the former instead of the latter if I can. Details: I run my site behind an SSL "firewall" (because it's basically a small-business corporate intranet) on my own server (it's actually a "VPS" hosted somewhere else--I have complete root access). I'm redirecting all port-80 access to my site to port 443 (the standard SSL port) with the same URL (via my Apache 2.0.52 httpd.conf). Thus http://example.com/wiki automatically gets redirected to https://example.com/wiki (note the "https" vs "http"). However, in Opera (and not in Fireforx or IE), an access of http://example.com/wiki automatically gets redirected to https://example.com:443/wiki/Main_Page . HOWEVER, a link to http://example.com/wiki/Main_Page gets redirected to https://example.com/wiki/Main_Page (with the "https" but without the ":443"). This leads me to believe that there's something I can change in the "root" part of MediaWiki to change this behavior. Any thoughts? I hunted around in the meta.mediawiki.org help and tried googling the email list archives (but could not get that to work) and did not find anything. I can provide the pertinent http.conf details later if you like...I must scamper off to other work for now. -Matt

Subsection editing.
by Jesper Krogh 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hi. I upgraded to the CVS-version of mediawiki yesterday and all seemed very fine, but sub-section editing is broken. When editing a subsection in a wikipage, the result is that only that section is left on the entire page afterwards. Thanks Jesper -- ./Jesper Krogh, jesper(a)krogh.cc, Jabber ID: jesper(a)jabbernet.dk ... der er blevet medlem af Free Software Foundation i denne uge: https://www.fsf.org/associate/join/am_join_form1

RE: [Mediawiki-l] accessing title of page
by Alistair Johnson 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Thanks Ben, that did the trick :-) al. -----Original Message----- From: Ben DeVore [mailto:ctrlphreak@gmail.com] $this->text('title') does echo $this->data['title'] so if you want to do an output to html you use the $this->text('title') and if you want to store the value of the page title into another variable or function use $this->data['title'] It took me a while to figure out the way mediawiki 1.4 does it and I actually just found the answer yesterday! Feels great to give back. Enjoy Ben On 4/19/05, Alistair Johnson <JohnsonA(a)rembrandt.co.nz> wrote: > how can I get the value of a page title into a variable?

accessing title of page
by Alistair Johnson 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

A (probably quite simple) question, how can I get the value of a page title into a variable? We've quite a few very long page titles in our wiki & i want to decrease the font size displayed on screen once the title is (say) greater than 30 characters. I can't appear to go $value = $this->text('title'); as that just outputs the page title to the screen. How then can I determine the title? Once I have the title in a var I'll strlen it & adjust the formatting accordingly. Thanks, al.
