Hello, especially to Rob Church as he gave some help on another thread.
I ran a few times the maintenance script Rebuildimages.php, which gave
some result at some point. But as the script doesn't uses a function
unavailable on windows XP (the dl() function can't work on multithreaded
servers... that's what is said in php manual), I'm not sure everything
is ok.
Online the host is not on windows:
http://www.fxparlant.net/static/phpinfo.php
Now, most of the images have a mime type corresponding to their
extension. Somehow, they still don't show up.
*Image with the dl() warning
http://www.fxparlant.net/Image:Img_Pdf.gif
*Images not showing
http://www.fxparlant.net/Fxparlant_Pix
Could someone tell me what to do?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm doing a test upgrade of our SourceWatch site from MediaWiki
v1.4.1.1 to v1.5.6, using PHP 5.1.1, MySQL 4.1.15 and FreeBSD O/S.
I've stepped through the upgrade several times and each time the
process jams when the script tries to create the "validate" table
resulting in a MySQL 'Can't create table' error message (errno: 121).
I recently have successfully done a couple of new installs of
MediaWiki v1.5.5 but, in each case, I assigned a database prefix to
the tables. So, just as a test, I added a database prefix to the
tables in the database for the upgrade. This seems to work.
I think that perhaps 'validate' is a reserved word in this version of
MySQL and that this is the reason why MySQL stops when asked to
create a table called 'validate'.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Tricia Barden
Run them in different directories and different databases.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Installing more than one wiki on the same server
Hi,
I have one wiki that is running just fine on Windows 2003/IIS.
I was asked today to add another wiki on that server. 2 very different
projects so they each need their own wiki.
What do I need to do so that the second one don't destroy the first one
when I'll install it?
Thanks!
Simon

Hi !
I created a copy of my wiki from a mysql dump and upgraded to 1.5.
After that, RC shows old changes made before copy+upgrade (10 february), but
no new changes I made yesterday (12 february) :(
How can I fix that ?
- can I clean the table safely ?
- I can't run command-line maintenance script. How can I run it ?
The buggy RC is there :

Hi !
MediaWiki 1.5.6 / Linux debian
I really don't know why I get this *@%$* error on line 506 of MimeMagic.php:
Fatal error: mime_magic could not be initialized, magic file
/usr/share/file/magic.mime is not available in
/home/.filer4/tousauxbalkans/www/includes/MimeMagic.php on line 506
Line 506 is just a debug !
else wfDebug("$fname: no magic mime detector found!\n");
In LocalSettings, I tried this :
$wgMimeTypeFile= NULL; #use build in defaults only.
$wgMimeInfoFile= NULL; #use build in defaults only.
$wgMimeDetectorCommand = NULL;
but it doesn't change anything.
Thanks in advance for your help !

I have started a few wikis (using Mediawiki, and kept up to date) and
I have found that we are being spammed, about once every ten days.
Usually links to drug (pharmaceuticals) sales sites in hidden text.
These wikis are very low traffic but are linked from Metawiki at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sites_using_MediaWiki
I have also noticed a wiki that has been set up and the WikiSysop has
no idea how to actually build content in the site. So, what does he
get? Spam! No content, nothing. Just spam.
It would seem WikiSysops should be made aware of their
responsibilities, when Mediawiki software is installed. Should theyt
have to pass a test? It is great that installation is so easy, but
that lowers the threshold of a potential WikiSysop admin to be
verging on the almost clueless.
Another effect. Users are registering email in the domains that I
own, in which the Mediaiki wikis live. Hence, I see all the email
confirmation emails (to addresses such as anythinggoes1234 @
mylittlehouse.org.uk). This is a relatively new feature, suggesting
again increasingly clueless spammers are getting in on the act,
perhaps?
Is there a message here?

I'd like to be able to write a MediaWiki extension that uses template
parameters, but the parser doesn't seem able to handle this.
As an example, let's say that I set up a page [[Template:Politician]]
that creates an external link to some information about a U.S.
congressional district.
I would invoke this template as follows:
{{Politician |
name = John Doe |
district=NY01
}}
The text of the template itself, which generates the link, is as
follows:
*[http://www.politician.com?district={{{district}}} District
information for {{{name}}}]
If, however, the "district" parameter is omitted, I wouldn't want
this line to be created at all. There's a messy way to set up if-then
decisions using existing template mechanisms, but I'd rather be able
to use something like the following as the text of the template:
<district_info>
name={{{name}}}
district={{{district}}}
</district_info>
Then I could write a MediaWiki extension that handles the logical
branching. The extension could also handle some other processing,
such as pulling in summary data about that congressional district
from an another website's external APIs.
At present, however, there doesn't seem to be any way to pass the
{{{name}}} and {{{district}}} parameters into a MediaWiki extension.
Instead of getting the VALUES of those parameters, I just get the
string "{{{name}}}" and "{{{district}}}".
Solutions, anyone?

Hello. I'm currently assisting in the setup of a MediaWiki
installation, and the project owner has asked that we find a way to
disable all talk pages on the wiki. I had thought to assign all talk
pages to a category that only sysops could edit, but i thought better of
this on reflection, since it would involve coding an extension for it,
and it would leave a lot of void links around the place.
The links lead me to my next idea: removing all the links to the talk
pages so that no one can access them through normal means. So, I have
to ask, where are all the references to talk-page links? I managed to
remove the 'my talk' and 'discussion' links for the header and body of
the 'recent changes' page, but that's about it so far. I've commented
out several other references to them in SkinTemplate and other pages,
and even tried turning the 'talk' and 'mytalk' references in the
Language.php file into null strings, but to no avail. So, where does
MediaWIki build the 'discussion' and 'my talk' links in normal article
pages from? Do you have any other suggestions as to how I could achieve
this?
Addendum: From what I've seen, I've actually managed to remove them from
most namespaces, but the namespaces like NS_MAIN continue to have them.
Are these pages generated somewhere else entirely?
I want to make an image to link to an external website.
It's something like the following HTML code:
<a href="http://www.external.com"><img
src="http://www.external.com/logo.png" alt="External Website"></a>
I read media wiki help document and can not find a way to do this.
How should I achieve this? Or this is not possible??
Thanks very much!
