Corrupt database
by mediawiki＠x11.cjb.net 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

I have been running mediawiki 1.5.5 Right now my site is down. All I get is: Error in fetchObject(): Can't find file: 'page.MYI' (errno: 2) When I go in phpmyadmin, I see all these terrible error messages every where saying things like: #1016 - Can't open file: 'objectcache.MYI'. (errno: 145) I can read the cur table. I see lots of what once my site was still there. When I make a backup of the datbase I can see all the data, but when I try to restore it to a new database, I only get the first 25 rows, and none of these apear to contain any usefull data. How would you suggest I try to restore the data? How can I avoid such database coruption in the future? -Brian

Hi! The last time I have problems with linkspam :( Can you tell me how to reduce this or how it can be possible that users have to confirm their registration always with an e-mail? Thanks, Flo

Errors after MySQL 5.0 upgrade
by andrew fabbro 28 Jan '06

28 Jan '06

I was running MediaWiki 1.4.4 on MySQL 4.1. When I upgraded MySQL to 5.0, any attempt to use the Wiki resulted in this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /data/www/localhost/htdocs/wiki/includes/ObjectCache.php on line 409 I tried deleting the rows in the objectcache and querycache tables, with no luck. I thought I'd try to upgrade to 1.5.6. No luck - different error: MediaWiki 1.5.6 installation Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. Checking environment... * PHP 4.4.0-gentoo-r1: ok * PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching functions * Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3. * Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Found GD graphics library built-in. * Installation directory: /data/www/localhost/htdocs/wiki * Script URI path: /wiki * Connecting to wikidb on localhost as root...success. * Connected to 5.0.18; using enhancements for mySQL 4. * Database wikidb exists * There are already MediaWiki tables in this database.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] No WikiSysop post install
by Rob Church 28 Jan '06

Create a user in the normal manner, and then add two rows in the user_groups table; the ug_user field should be set to the ID of the new user (probably 1), while the ug_group values should be "sysop" and "bureaucrat" respectively.

by Vicki Brown 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

My mediawiki installation succeeded (after several broken attempts). However There is no user by the name "WikiSysop". What can I do? Do I have to re-install? Can I grant sysop permissions in some manner? Can I simply create a user?? -- - Vicki ZZZ zzZ San Francisco Bay Area, CA z |\ _,,,---,,_ Books, Cats, Tech zz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ http://cfcl.com/vlb |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' http://heatercats.com '---''(_/--' `-'\_) http://cfcl.com/vlb/weblog

New User Email Notification
by Rob Church 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

About an hour ago, I checked in an extension which provides a fairly simple, but customisable, email notification for new user accounts. It's designed to allow a number of recipients, and the text of the email can be customised as one would expect. See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/extensions/NewUserNotif to download it; the readme file was checked in about 2 minutes ago, and isn't in anon. CVS yet, but it is available from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Robchurch/New_User_Email_Notification as are those for all extensions I write. Rob Church

Users permission to edit pages
by Tomás Dias Almeida 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

I installed mediawiki 1.5.6 and 1.4.14. In the both wikis I had the same problem: When a logged member edit and save a page, He gets the following error message, "Note: Remember that this is only a preview, and has not yet been saved!". But a anonymous users can edit and save the pages normally. Thanks Tomás Almeida

Template is closing unclosed tag (e.g. DIV)
by Gerrit Quast 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi, some problem I was stating about a week ago already. I just give it another try and hope for help: Like in the portal-box skeleton template on mediawiki, I'd like to have one template that opens a DIV container and a second one that closes the DIV container. Between the two template calls I could place my content. The DIV container can draw a nice portlet-like border around the content then... Since this is done exactly that way at mediawiki page and wikipedia, I don't understand why it doesn't work for my installations (1.5.5 each). The problem is that for every template, mediawiki closes tags that left open. The second template (only the closing DIV) is escaped and appears as clear text. Does anyone know how to switch off this feature in case it is one? Thanks a lot, Gerrit

AW: [Mediawiki-l] 1.5.6 and wgRawHtml?
by Vasiliadis, Thomas 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi John If I am not terribly wrong, your code is it. In HTML it is NOT allowed to use Tags like this: <TagA> <TagB> </TagA> </TagB> You have to end your Tags recursively, that means, you have to do it like this: <TagA> <TagB> </TagB> </TagA> TV -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] Im Auftrag von John D. Mann Gesendet: Montag, 23. Januar 2006 11:31 An: 'MediaWiki announcements and site admin list' Betreff: RE: [Mediawiki-l] 1.5.6 and wgRawHtml? No, they will not work inside the <html></html> tags if you are allowing raw html to be used. However, all you have to do is end the html tag and restart it after the wiki tag. Any open html tags from before can be continued afterwards. Example: Dfadfasdfadfasdfasdf [[Link|this is a wiki link]] <html> <a href="foo.com/bar.html">adsfadf</a> <div id="whatnot"> </html> [[another|another wiki link inside an html tag]] <html> </div> </html> John > -----Original Message----- > From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l- > bounces(a)Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Plamen Gradinarov > Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 4:22 AM > To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list > Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] 1.5.6 and wgRawHtml? > > Will wiki tags work when put in html tagged section? > > TIA > _______________________________________________ > MediaWiki-l mailing list > MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org > http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Using with MySQL 4.0.22-standard
by Jane E. Tate 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I tried installing the latest version of Media Wiki on my site which is using MySQL 4.0.22-standard, PHP 4.3.10 and Apache 1.3.33 (Unix). I'm getting an error regarding the SQL when installing: --------------------------------- PHP 4.3.10: ok 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. PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. PHP is configured with no memory_limit. Have zlib support; enabling output compression. Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching functions Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3. Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. Found GD graphics library built-in. Installation directory: /home/mysite/public_html Script URI path: PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a MySQL 4.1server and have problems connecting to the database, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help. Trying to connect to MySQL on localhost as root... MySQL error 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) Trying regular user... ok. Connected to 4.0.22-standard; enabling MySQL 4 enhancements Error selecting database mysite_wikidb: 1044 Access denied for user: 'mysite_wikiuse@localhost' to database 'mysite_wikidb' ---------------- I have no idea what to do to get this to work on my site with the version of MySQL that is running. Do I need to use a different version of Media Wiki? Or is there something I can do to make this work? JET
