restarting a wiki
by Emma Gottesman 23 May '06

23 May '06

My server went down last night as the result of a power outage and my wiki didn't restart. Someone else installed the wiki for me and they're not around this week so although I know where all the components are installed I'm not sure where to start. So, how do I restart my wiki? I'm running Solaris10. Thanks --Emma

Default text for a new category
by Luis Mandel 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi! As far as I understood in order to add a page to a category a "tag" of the form [[Category:myCategory]] must be added. This will generate a link to that category of the form: .../index.php/Category:myCategory But if the category doesn't exist the link will be of the form: .../index.php?title=myCategory&action=edit in order to edit and add some text to "myCategory" I would like to know if it possible to avoid this last behaviour. I mean, when a category is required either a default text is generated for that category or directly o link of the form .../index.php/Category:myCategory is generated. Thanks in advance, Luis luismandel(a)gmail.com

Answer to my own silly question
by Ken McDonald 23 May '06

23 May '06

A bit ago, I posted a question about not being able to get the MW web config interface to accept my superuser name and password. But, the fact that I was using the OS's root name/password, rather than MySQL's, was an unfortunate oversight on my part. <Thumps forehead>. All is well now. Many thanks to everyone for all their help in getting this up, Ken

Creating an extension to replace a function...
by Elliott F.Cable 23 May '06

23 May '06

Let's say I want to change the function wfReportTime() to not comment out the time, so I can place it somewhere relevant in the skin - but I don't want to modify any files in the /includes/ folder so I can easily upgrade things in the future. How, exactly, would I write an extension that I can just drop in the extensions folder to replace an existing function with my own version? Just so you know, you are talking to pretty much a PHP noob.

Can memcached be installed after an MW site has been set up?
by Ken McDonald 22 May '06

22 May '06

Given that we may be fairly high-usage, memcached seems like a good idea, but we'd also like to get the initial site up ASAP. Is it possible to start and put initial content into the site, and then add memcached at a later date? Thanks, Ken

Apologies--email for Markus (FCKEditor extension author) mistakenly sent to mailing list
by Ken McDonald 22 May '06

22 May '06

My apologies to the mailing list--I just sent an email which I'd thought would go only to the original author of an article, but which appears to be headed for the mailing list. I'll be more careful in the future. Ken
