I am trying to install Mediawiki to a subdomain. I am using the most recent
version 1.6. . .
When I attempt to access mediawiki from my subdomain
http://crossinglost.alt-realities.net/wiki, it reports a 404 Error because
it redirects back to my top level domain
http://www.alt-realities.net/wikiwhere there is no such directory or
file.
I have changed the $IP to '/var/www/crossinglost/wiki' which is the path as
given by my webhost.
Is there another configuration change that needs to be specified?

[quote]
I am running mediawiki as a localhost setup for development/learning.
The environment is XAMPP (so, Apache, MySQL, PhP, etc.) in WinXP.
Everything is going well ... except for "uploads".
I have read this, and everything else I can find on enabling uploads.
For some reason I keep getting this error message:
"The upload directory ($/images) is not writable by the webserver."
[/quote]
Sy Ali replied suggesting I hard-code the path, which didn't work but
got me thinking.
I posted the solution on the mwuser's forum, but thought I should note
it here, too.
In LocalSettings.php, you remove the "$/" from the $wgUploadDirectory
setting, so it reads:
$wgUploadDirectory = "images";
and then the uploads work fine in WinXP+WAMPP setup ... at least for me! :)

I cannot see any image in Firefox 1.5.0.4 on a Mac 10.4.6 on Commons
or English WIkipedia....
On Commons wiki.png (the main logo) is also missing!
Any ideas???

Hi all,
I'm hoping to use MediaWiki to run my personal web site. MediaWiki, out
of the box, contains a lot of links to non-existent pages, e.g. at the
bottom of every page are "about" and "disclaimers" links. What's a
clean way of getting rid of these?
I tried changing the "about" related lines in languages/Messages.php to
empty strings, i.e.:
'about' => '',
'aboutsite' => '',
'aboutpage' => '',
but no luck. I also tried putting the following in LocalSettings.php:
$wgAllMessagesEn['about']='';
$wgAllMessagesEn['aboutsite']='';
$wgAllMessagesEn['aboutpage']='';
$wgAllMessages['about']='';
$wgAllMessages['aboutsite']='';
$wgAllMessages['aboutpage']='';
But every page still has a working "About MyWiki" link at the bottom.
How can I delete it? Where is it getting those values from? Is there
something I can put in my LocalSettings.php that will eliminate those links?
Thanks,
Martin
I just realize that "Wanted Pages" doesn't show info on needed images,
and none of the other special pages has any obvious relation to such a
function. Is there a way to do this easily?
Thanks,
Ken
I've tried installing MediaWiki 1.6.5 (and 1.6.6) using the web installer
(config/index.php). I get an error saying that the MySQL version is 3.23.58.
The support people at my hosting provider insist they're running 4.0.20 (and
according to http://hppchristianhosting.com/phpinfo.php, that seems to be
true).
I noticed the line about the old MySQL client libraries, but the support
guys just keep telling me the MySQL version is 4.0.20 and PHP version is
4.3.7. I looked at the link, but don't know enough about MySQL, PHP, or
MediaWiki to go about fixing it. I don't have root access (shared host), but
if there's some upgrade to the MySQL interface that the hosting provider can
do, they might be willing (but probably won't want to upgrade their MySQL or
PHP versions). If there's some change I can make to the MediaWiki code to
change the authorization type, that would be good, too.
thanks,
Lionel
The installation results:
PHP 4.3.7 installed
Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. Disable it if you can.
MediaWiki will work, but your server is more exposed to PHP-based security
vulnerabilities.
PHP server API is apache2filter; using ugly URLs
(index.php?title=Page_Title)
Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
PHP's memory_limit is 100M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object
caching functions
GNU diff3 not found.
Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if
you enable uploads.
Installation directory: /home/httpd/vhosts/camara.us/httpdocs/MediaWiki

PHP is linked with old MySQL client libraries. If you are using a MySQL 4.1
server and have problems connecting to the database, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help.

Connected to 3.23.58 -- mysql 4.0.14 or later required. Aborting.
Well, I finally got my MediaWiki up and running, and I have set it to
not allow anonymous edits. However, I don't seem to have a user with
Administrator rights. The system had prompted me to create the Admin
user WikiSysop, with appropriate password, when I went to the original
config page, but no such user exists on the resulting wiki. I have now
created a regular account for myself, and as I have said, have now
changed the LocalSettings.php to deny anonymous edits.
How do I give myself admin capabilities on the site, now? Is it
something I must insert into the LocalSettings.php?
Once that is taken care of, one of the other things I want to do is set
it up so people can sign up (create an account for themselves) but
cannot edit pages or create new ones until I enable them to. That is, I
want to set things up so I have to select which users can edit, rather
than them being able to edit just by having created an account.
But first things first, I guess...

I am using portions of the DynamicArticleList extension code on my
wiki (1.6.6). In the documentation for the extension ( http://
meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Article_List )the author suggests
disabling the deletion of old entries from the recent changes table
by modifying Article.php .
Could this have any negative side effects apart from any performance
issues related to keeping a larger recent changes table?
thanks
Thanks Arthur!
What I ended up doing was creating two more shell VirualHosts that match on
the short name and redirect to the full name like you suggested. Doing it
this way I don't lose the flexability of the default host which I am using
for other purposes.
P.S. What a great list!! The patience and helpful comments I've seen on
this list since picking it up a month ago have been a really refreshing
change from the usual "RTFM butthead..." replies you see so much nowadays.

One way you can do this is setup another virtual host at the top of the
list of virtual hosts which responds to the default address
http://mysite only and includes a permanent redirect to the full
address.
Redirect / http://mysite.example.org/
Thanks! I need to spend more time with the apache docs :/

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Apache virtual hosts
I have a box running mediawiki and am now using virtual hosts on it to
enable me to have a test version of the site running on port 8080. What
is
the "proper" way to force visitors to use the full server dns name? So,
if
I browse to 'http://mysite' the production wiki pops up and
'http://mysite:8080' the test wiki is shown. works great. love it. Now
what I want to happen is that when a visitor goes to 'http://mysite'
they
get redirected to 'http://mysite.example.org' and going to
'http://mysite:8080' takes them to 'http://mysite.example.org:8080'.
Basically, I want them to always be using the full canonical host name.
I'm not sure how to setup a redirect like this in Apache2.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
