Thank you Brion, you pointed me in right direction & I solved the problem. The session save folder was not writable by apache. For the benefit of others ... Info on php sessions: http://ca3.php.net/session 1) I verified that cookies worked on my client system. 2) On the server, I found out that no session files were being created in the folder pointed to by the "session.save_path" php variable. This is usually a permissions problem. 3) I tested this by making the session folder world writable. My sessions now work properly. 4) I determined the apache "user" & set up the permissions properly to avoid security problems. >>Peter Work wrote: >>As an anonymous user, I can create new pages, edit & save articles just >>fine.

The file "patch-ss_images.sql" is wrong. The wrong file: ALTER TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/site_stats ADD ss_images int(10) default '0'; SELECT @images := COUNT(*) FROM /*$wgDBprefix*/image; UPDATE site_stats SET ss_images=@images; The is correct: ALTER TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/site_stats ADD ss_images int(10) default '0'; SELECT @images := COUNT(*) FROM /*$wgDBprefix*/image; UPDATE /*$wgDBprefix*/site_stats SET ss_images=@images; Thomas Klein

Test snapshot for MediaWiki 1.6.0
by Brion Vibber 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Before I release a formal 1.6.0, I'd like if a few people would quickly test installation of the current snapshot. Generally 1.6 is working quite nice on our own servers, but the installation and updater code might not be as well exercised. I've done a few basic smoke tests on my own, but a few more under different conditions might be wise before we make a fuss about The Big Release. Download: http://svn.wikimedia.org/snapshots/mediawiki-snapshot-20060404.tar.gz MD5 checksum: 352de479b8eada133de1247badd3677a Release notes (not finalized): http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES As a reminder, we're planning to start on a quarterly snapshot release schedule; about every three months we'll take what's currently running, branch it off and release it. Security updates will continue to be made on those release branches for some time, but feature development and non-essential bugfixes generally will go on the mainline and be available in the next quarterly release. So 1.7 is tentatively scheduled for July; 1.8 for October, 1.9 (?) for January, etc. - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEMlsmwRnhpk1wk44RAsmaAJ9YkPBKxZQfanEk3rN3kqdqSKWFiwCfU5sl zzm1AbpiUNZ5UCFDO3ioNfM= =6aXX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Personal wiki
by John Wiedenhoeft 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is a bit too naive, and wether its a FAQ or a completely new stupid question. I would like to setup a wiki on my notebook for my study and research notes and book excerpts. Puzzling around with hundreds of text files is quite unsatisfactory. Besides, having used wikipedia online for a while my way of thinking started to be wikified ;-) Currently I work with didiwiki, but this has a poor search algorithm that's even case sensitive, it doesn't support formula etc. I would like to have mediawiki on localhost, accessing it from localhost, and don't allow anybody else in the network to use it (guess a firewall is enough?). I read the installation procedure, but it appears it is more for people having some network background. I've installed the php packages etc. via apt-get (I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy, with Gnome), but I don't get that thing to work. I'd very much appreciate some "mediawiki for idiots" instructions about how to make my personal wiki run. Best regards, John P.S.: I wouldn't need a complete page history. saving just the last 2-3 edits would be enough.

Hi, A Newbie here. I Just installed mediawiki.1.5.7 on a redhat enterprise workstation. As an anonymous user, I can create new pages, edit & save articles just fine. If I log in as a user or even as WikiSysop, I don't seem to be able to write back to the database. The SAVE button in the edit window is treated like a PREVIEW, I cannot change prefences. As WikiSysop I cannot delete pages. Any suggestions? Regards, Peter.
