Math formating
by Emma Gottesman 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

I'm still having problems getting math formatting to work on my wiki. I get: *Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): x = x + 78* Running on Solaris 10, wiki installed in /var/apache2/htdocs/wiki. ocaml installed, TeTeX installed, gs installed, ImageMagick installed dvips, convert, latex, gs all in /usr/local/bin Have putenv("MAGICK_HOME=/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.2.1/:" . getenv("MAGICK_HOME")); putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.2.1/lib:" . getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")); near the top of my localSettings (thanks Kate). When I run the ImageMagick test I from the command line as root or as a user I get the ImageMagick test image displayed. I can run the latex config OK. The make for texvc didn't produce any errors and I've done a make clean, make cycle each time I've changed something just to make sure. When I try and run the texvc command line test in the math README I get: (I'm in /var/apache2/htdocs/wiki/math) root[(k)sh]@sunray21# ./texvc /var/apache2/htdocs/wiki/images/tmp /var/apache2/htdocs/wiki/math "y=x+2" iso-8859-1 This is dvips(k) 5.92b Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2005.06.02:1606' -> <texc.pro><aae443f0.enc><f7b6d320.enc><texps.pro>. <cmr12.pfb><cmmi12.pfb>[1] Cdaa63ef966cc412541190bc8794731de<i>y</i> = <i>x</i> + 2<mi>y</mi><mo>=</mo><mi>x</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>2</mn> root[(k)sh]@sunray21# root[(k)sh]@sunray21# cd .. root[(k)sh]@sunray21# cd images root[(k)sh]@sunray21# cd tmp root[(k)sh]@sunray21# ls -l total 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 webservd webservd 191 May 23 09:54 2473_6c2998872ce17b4eaa56f0a0af456430.tex root[(k)sh]@sunray21# pwd /var/apache2/htdocs/wiki/images/tmp root[(k)sh]@sunray21# date Thu Jun 2 16:06:56 BST 2005 root[(k)sh]@sunray21# /images/tmp is read-writeable by all but there wasn't any output in it. Once again, help? By the way, thanks to all for the help with the sysop issue. A local IT here did the initial install of the wiki for me but couldn't remember if he'd set up a sysop. I rooted around in the SQL database and found WikiSysop, with the same password as root, so I now have a working sysop. -- Emma ******************************************************** Emma Gottesman <emma.gottesman(a)sun.com> Analyst, SSG Quality Office Sun Microsystems Ireland Ltd., Boole House, Eastpoint Business Park, Dublin 3, Ireland.

Hi, I'm new and have a couple problems
by GreenPowered 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Hello everybody! I have just set up wiki at greenpowered.org to help people teach each other about making the transition to clean energy. It is a wonderful engine and I thank everyone who contributed to it and for making it available. I have a couple problems I can't figure out though. Possibly it is something with the server not mediawiki, but any info is appriciated. The first is that every once in a while when a link is clicked, I get prompted to save the file: index.php I believe. If you click cancel and click it again it always works. It happens rarely. If you open the file it prompts you to save, it is in binary, with only a couple lines of data. The second problem only started happening recently. What happens is if a new page is created, then you go back to the page where you created it, the link does not turn blue. If you click it the edit page comes up, and the text is in the editbox. The strange thing is hitting refresh won't help. The only way for the link to turn blue is to delete all the pages out of the IE browser cache, and re-access it. I thought it happened when I upgraded from 1.4.0 to 1.4.4. However, i went back to 1.4.0 and it was still there. Now I'm on 1.4.5, and still have the problem. The way I switched versions was just to replace all the files. Erik (greenpowered admin)

Wiki, IIS and Permissions
by Arthur Guy 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

This is my first post to this mailing list so I hope I am not sending it to the wrong people. I have got Media Wiki installed and working on an IIS server, today I decided to take a look at the file permissions for the instillation and I found that the everyone group had full permission, I removed this and added IIS User giving it read permission; unfortunately the site now doesn't work when you try and edit a page and error is returned. Can someone give me a list of the permissions required for the main Wiki folder; the folder owner is set to the system administrators group, is this a problem?

How to email-notify for ANY site change?
by Matt England 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Can the email-notify plugin or anything else provide support for an email-notification for ANY change to a MediaWiki site? If so, how can this be setup via the normal web interface, possibly via the email-notification plugin? I'm happy to modify php code if need be; can someone point me to the best place to do this if so? -Matt

setting up a new wiki
by David Patrick 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

As a proof of concept (these managers take a lot of convincing) I am trying to run an installation of WikiMedia on my localhost address. I have Apache, PHP and MySQL running. These were obtained as a single package from www.firepages.com.au and installed onto my Win2K machine. Wikimedia is installed on top of that. Anyway, on to the problem: Logging in to Wikimedia as either a normal user, or as a sysadmin, I can click on 'edit' to make a change, but cannot get the 'save' button to function correctly. Pressing 'Save' displays the changes I have made with a warning telling me that this is a preview, and that I should save my changes. Question: What setting might I be missing? Where do I start looking?
