How do I partially lock the database?
by Garrett Baumgartner 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

How do I protect the database in Mediawiki such that people in the Sysop group can edit the database normally, but regular users can only edit Talk pages? Would this involve somehow protecting specific namespaces (e.g., everything except Talk)? Is it even possible? I don't want the database to be editable by just anyone off the internet but I do want it to be editable to anyone I trust enough to give sysopness. Also, what precisely does the dev-level "lock database" do? Can the person with developer permissions still edit the database? Are the talk pages unaffected? I can't check because it didn't ask me to set up a dev account when I installed it (it did give me a bureaucrat / sysop though). I am looking at the table in PhpMyAdmin and the rows my default account has are: 1 bureaucrat 1 sysop I tried adding another row for user 1 with the user group "developer" but that didn't work. I renamed it to "dev" and that didn't work either. What group is it? Thanks. - Garrett

Thanks Rob! It is wonderful indeed. Maybe it should be included in the upgrade file?

Upgrading from 1.5.8 to 1.6
by Simon Renshaw 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, Frist, thanks for the new version. My current Wikis are running 1.5.8 and I just downloaded 1.6. I looked in the readme, install and upgrade files. The upgrade file only mention upgrading to 1.5. I exported my DB and copied the folders of my current Wikis. Sorry for the noob question. My first Wiki installation was a 1.5.X and upgrading was very easy. So, I need to overwrite the old files with the new ones and run the install script? And what about the LocalSettings file? Should I keep the one I have or modify the one that the install script will generate? Thanks! Simon

Upgrade to 1.6 with php4.3.10?
by david cuthbertson 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, Congratulations to all involved in bringing version 1.6 into the world - some great features that I would love to use :) However force9 (plusnet) who host my site only provide PHP: 4.3.10, and not the required: * Web server with PHP 4.3.2 or higher; What should I do (other than pleading with my cgi space provider for a PHP upgrade)?
