Special:AllDiscussion?
by Reiner Knudsen 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

Hi, is there a special page like "AllDiscussion". I am documenting a software product and would like to somehow leave bookmarks with questions for the programmer he can answer or just fill in the required piece of info into the article. A "AllDiscussion" page would give me th opportunity to just add a discussion attached to the respective article and just point the programmer to the "AllDiscussion" page where he would find all the questions I have. Any idea how to do that? Thanks Reiner

Removing index.php from URL
by Jared Nyland 16 Sep '05

16 Sep '05

All, I have been working on removing the index.php from the URL on a Wiki site. Everything seems to be working fine except for one issue, When I try to upload a file the page just refreshes does not upload the file. If I remove my changes out of the http.conf file so that the index.php is in the URL this works just fine. I have been using the information off of the mediawiki.org <http://mediawiki.org> FAQ. I have checked rights and permissions on the server, but still does not work. Has anyone seen this issue or know what I have missed in the process. Thanks in advance

ZUM-Wiki: Fehler in der Datenbank
by Karl-Otto Kirst 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hallo, I hope, that it is ok, that I am writing in Germen. If not: Please tell it to me, and I will write the same in English. (In some words: We are getting an error-message (see below) in ZUM-Wiki (www.zum.de/wiki), since about 21.OO hrs today. Im ZUM-Wiki (www.zum.de/wiki) (MediaWiki 1.4.4) sind seit heute Abend (ca. 21. Uhr) zahlreiche Seiten nicht mehr aufrufbar, z.B. die Seiten "Deutsch" und "Biologie". Stattdessen erscheint eine Fehlermeldung: ---------------------- Fehler in der Datenbank aus ZUM-Wiki, der freien Wissensdatenbank in der ZUM.de Es gab einen Syntaxfehler in der Datenbankabfrage. Die letzte Datenbankabfrage lautete: (SQL query hidden) aus der Funktion "MediaWikiBagOStuff:_doquery". MySQL meldete den Fehler "1030: Got error 134 from storage engine (localhost)". ---------------------- Da zum ersten Mal diese Fehlermeldung auftritt, wissen wir nicht, wie wir reagieren sollen. Und vor allem wissen wir nicht, was die Ursache ist. Kann die Umbenennung (Verschiebung) einer Seite die Ursache sein: Ich habe "Methodentraining" nach "Arbeitstechniken" verschoben, obwohl es einen Redirect von "Arbeitstechniken" nach "Methodentraining" gab. Es kam aber keine Fehlermeldung, dass dies nicht möglich sei, was in ähnlichen Fällen immer passiert ist. Für jeden Hinweis zu möglichen Ursachen und zu Lösungen wäre ich sehr dankbar. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Karl Kirst -------------------------------------- post(a)karl-kirst.de www.karl-kirst.de / www.schule-und-internet.de Mitarbeit am ZUM-Wiki: www.zum.de/wiki --------------------------------------

Merging wiki's
by Hans Voss 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hello, I am looking into the possibility of merging two wiki's with each other I would like to know if it is possible to actually merge the databases or that a Special:Export <> Special:Import would work. (What happens with Import/Export when a page already exists?) Is there even a way to export (and import) the *entire* wiki? I know I could run all the wiki's side by side and create interwiki links to create something similar, but that doesn't integrate the search function. -- ---- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards Hans Voss --------------------------------------- skype: hans.voss

LDAP Lookup Behavior
by Jeff Mandel 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hello, I'm using the 1.0 LdapAuthentication plugin with version 1.5rc4. I'm seeing some strange behavior binding for a certain name. Authentication works fine for most users, except the user Nicolae. I used tcpdump to watch the bind request and see none for Nicolae. No problem seeing bind request for Nicola, icolae, Micolae, Ricolae, Nicolaebean. No bind attempted for Nicolae. All users are in the same part of the tree. $wgLDAPUseLocal = false; This looks like some sort of input validation. Any suggestions where I can start tracking this down? Thanks, Jeff

increase session idle timeout
by fdo 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi I want to increase the idle session time for my wiki users. In my site, you must be logged in to edit pages and usually we're working in large documents so when you want to save changes (after several minutes) you got a "Please re login" due to your session has expired and you realise that it was a waste of time :( How I can increase this time, is there a Localsetting.php variable for this? Thanks

major install problems 1.4.9
by Mindy Z 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

Hi guys - I am trying to install on a Win200 server and I am seriously stuck! :) I followed the instructions at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows using The Saint WAMP(v3.4.0) & MediaWiki(1.4.9) When I try to access my wiki for the first time to create my LocalSettings.php I get the following garbage: ---------------------------------------------------- MediaWiki installation Wiki is configured. Already configured... return to the wiki. (You should probably remove this directory for added security.) " ); } if( file_exists( "./LocalSettings.php" ) || file_exists( "./AdminSettings.php" ) ) { dieout( " You're configured! Please move LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, then try out your wiki. (You should remove this config directory for added security once you're done.) " ); } if( !is_writable( "." ) ) { dieout( " Can't write config file, aborting In order to configure the wiki you have to make the config subdirectory writable by the web server. Once configuration is done you'll move the created LocalSettings.php to the parent directory, and for added safety you can then remove the config subdirectory entirely. To make the directory writable on a Unix/Linux system: cd /path/to/wiki chmod a+w config " ); } require_once( "install-utils.inc" ); require_once( "maintenance/updaters.inc" ); require_once( "maintenance/convertLinks.inc" ); require_once( "maintenance/archives/moveCustomMessages.inc" ); class ConfigData { function getEncoded( $data ) { # Hackish global $wgUseLatin1; if( $wgUseLatin1 ) { return utf8_decode( $data ); /* to latin1 wikis */ } else { return $data; } } function getSitename() { return $this->getEncoded( $this->Sitename ); } function getSysopName() { return $this->getEncoded( $this->SysopName ); } function getSysopPass() { return $this->getEncoded( $this->SysopPass ); } } ?> Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. Checking environment... * PHP " . phpversion() . ": ok\n"; if( ini_get( "register_globals" ) ) { ?> Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. * Warning: PHP's safe mode is active! You may have problems caused by this, particularly if using image uploads. * Fatal: magic_quotes_runtime is active! This option corrupts data input unpredictably; you cannot install or use MediaWiki unless this option is disabled. * Fatal: magic_quotes_sybase is active! This option corrupts data input unpredictably; you cannot install or use MediaWiki unless this option is disabled. ---------------------------------------------------- I have opened up my php.ini and made sure magic quotes are disabled and I have tried numerous other things, e.g. moving files to c:\WINNT. Please reply with any advice. Thanks so much! Mindy ________ __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Non-anonymous editing problems
by Henry Kumagai 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

I am encountering problems when I attempt to disallow anonymous editing in version 1.5 RC4. I am using the $wgGroupPermissions settings as follows: $wgGroupPermissions = array(); $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true; This indeed does not allow anonymous users to edit. But, it also prevents registered users from editing and saving. When they hit the "Save page" button, they get the message, "Remember that this is only a preview, and has not yet been saved!" as if they had hit the "Show preview." And, in fact, when I take $wgGroupPermissions settings out, only anonymous users can edit and logged in users see the same behavior as above. Arrgh! This was also happening in 1.4, which I just upgraded our site to 1.5 RC4 hoping that it fix the problem that was preventing this from working correctly. But, the same stubborn problem persists. Any tips for me? Thanks. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Henry Kumagai Tech Support Manager Email: henry(at)compumentor.org http://www.compumentor.org Bringing people and technology together to strengthen our communities http://www.techsoup.org Technology served the way nonprofits need it, powered by CompuMentor ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
