SearchIndex keeps getting corrupted
by Chris McIntosh 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

I have MediaWiki 1.4 running on mysql 3.23 When I first installed MediaWiki it was on a different mysql version, I forget the exact number. After I upgraded the searchindex keeps getting corrupted every couple of weeks. This is noticed by the users when they save a page they get "Internal DB error", when I turn on more verbose warnings, it shows an error when updated the SearchIndex table. Sure enough when I check the table with "Check table" it show it as "crashed" I can easily repair it but I wan't to find the root cause of why it is crashing. I assume it has something to do with me upgrading mysql after the install. Any ideas on how to fix it? Chris McIntosh

How to fix dead whitespace around the TOC?
by Carlton B 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

I can't seem to find a way to specify the [[Image]] tag to avoid a dead spot of whitespace to the right or left of the TOC. This looks especially bad if there's a photo floating right or left to the body of the text; it just creates a big wasted whitespace in the middle. Ideally I'd like to be able to get some text in there. Is there any good way to do that? Here's an example of what I'm talking about on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saitama_Prefecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory

Thank you so much. I saw that tag, but obviously didn't understand fully what it did.

How to suppress link to ftp://... ?

17 Jun '05

I want to paste this text in as code (with a leading space): wget -N -nv -nd --glob=on ftp://db.jhuccp.org/web/image/bas/* but don't want the part beginning with 'ftp://...' to be converted to a live link. How can I suppress this behavior? Thanks, and have a good weekend. -Kevin ----- E.

Help, I've fallen and I can't get up.
by Rick DeNatale 17 Jun '05

I'm trying to separate my article and script paths as described in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url in order to "steer the googlebot" and now I can't seem to render any images. I'd originally installed mediawiki (this is on RH Linux) in /var/www/html/wiki so I did a mv to rename this directory to /var/www/html/w I changed /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf <Directory /var/www/html/w> AllowOverride FileInfo Options php_flag register_globals off </Directory> Alias /wiki/skins "/var/www/html/w/skins" Alias /wiki "/var/www/html/w" The <Directory>.. block was there but I changed wiki to w I then added the two Alias statements. (and yes I've restarted httpd after each change) I then changed LocalSettings.php I think that these are the relevant lines: $IP = "/var/www/html/w"; #without the following line script links come out as /wiki $wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgScript = "{$wgScriptPath}/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "{$wgScriptPath}/redirect.php"; #$wgStylePath = "{$wgScriptPath}/skins"; #Basing style on script hides skins??? $wgStylePath = "/wiki/skins"; $wgStyleSheetPath = &$wgStylePath; ## If using PHP as a CGI module, use the ugly URLs #$wgArticlePath = "$wgScript/$1"; #$wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; #Default has $wgUploadPath = "{$wgScriptPath}/upload"; #But there is no upload directory and this seems to control where the #Image object looks so. $wgUploadPath = "{$wgScriptPath}/images"; #Ditto for $wgUploadDirectory DefaultSettings.php had this as "{$IP}/uploads" $wgUploadDirectory = "{$IP}/images"; $wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math"; $wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/merclogo.png"; Before I changed $wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory i was getting missingimage messages, I temporarily modified Skin.php to print the imagePath instead of just the name and it seemed to be correct and the files themselves existed. After the change I just get the alt text and no images. I thought that it might be a permissions problem so I made sure that the owner and group of /var/www/html/w and everything below it is apache,apache Any ideas? I'm pretty much stumped at this time.

RE: [Mediawiki-l] Creating a new page from the search results page...
by Arjun Jacob Thomas 17 Jun '05

Arthur, Thanks for that bit of information, was very helpful. The only drawback of this is that a new page is pulled up automatically in the event of there not being an exact match. I would like free text matches to be pulled up with the option of creating a page with the same name in the event of no page match.

Creating a new page from the search results page...
by Arjun Jacob Thomas 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to Wiki's, I have managed to set up my wiki engine and am figuring things out as I go along. The question I have is this. How do I go about creating a new page from the search results page when the search engine hasn't found any results to my keyword? Right now the search results page does not display that option. Thanks in advance for the help.... AJ.
