We are upgrading apache, MySQL, php and MediaWiki all at once. MediaWiki is going from 1.6.5. to 1.6.7 I have a ton of images uploaded. Copying the images directory without migrating the database wouldn't do anything would it? I have all of the image files stored on my computer. Is there a nice way to batch upload them to the new site once it gets created? -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Arthur Guy Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 2:57 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Quick help All the information is stored in the database so if you use a separate database server you don't have anything to worry about. If they are on the same server you should do a database dump, use your usual database management software phpMySQL etc... You should also copy of the localsettings.php file from the root of the wiki directory, and the images directory.

communication problems
by Frederich, Eric P2173 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Every other day I see a message saying "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) (localhost))" A restart of the MySQL database seems to fix it then after another couple of days it goes down again. Any ideas what may be wrong or how to fix this? Thanks, ~Eric

Blahtex: what's the next step
by lethe 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

David Harvey and others has been working hard on Blahtex, the next generation in MediaWiki math rendering technology. Visit http:// www.blahtex.org/ for more information and http://wiki.blahtex.org/go/ Main_Page for a running demo hosted by Jitse Niesen. Harvey suggests that blahtex will afford a significant performance advantage, but the main impetus is the ability to render MathML. Support for MathML is not widespread at the moment, so the need for Blahtex is not urgent, but it is the future, and we have reason to believe that Wikipedia's adoption could goad browser developers to speed their efforts (the answer to the old chicken and egg of who comes first, browser support or use by web pages could be: Wikipedia comes first). It has to happen someday, and today is as good a day as any. Harvey says the software is ready for the next step, and wants to move forward, but doesn't know whom to talk to in order to make this happen. I'm writing you to voice my full support for Harvey's and Niesen's efforts, to open up a dialogue and find out what needs to be done to take the next step towards rolling this software out, and to ask if there is anything I can do to help the developers to get this software ready for deployment. Thanks lethe

Howdy Was wondering if there was anything special, other than the instructions provided with WikiSpeller. It does not seem to work under RHEL 4 and mediawiki 1.6.6 r

Recent changes (minus my own)
by Roger Chrisman 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Is there a simple way I can list '''Recent changes''' so that changes done by myself are not listed? Because of the way '''Recent changes''' are listed it is hard for me to spot among my own hundreds of edits the few edits done by others that I want to patrol. Thanks, Roger MediaWiki 1.5.7 http://Wikigogy.org/User:Roger

Setting up search
by Hugh Prior 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

I want to set up the search ability but so far I am stumbling around half-blind trying to figure it out from odd snippets here and there from old posts. Is there a URL which describes in an orderly manner what I need to do to set up the search facility? Thanks, Hugh

Re: [Mediawiki-l] clear all contents
by Skorupski, Bartlomiej 20 Jun '06

Actually what i do is creating a db backup right after setting up wiki, when it's empty and then when i want to clear everything i just restore this backup. I was just hoping for some extension :). Thanks anyway. Backup and restore method works for me.

The quickest method is to DROP the database, re-create it, and re-run the web-based installer script.

Wrong user count in Special:Statistics (2nd attempt)
by Uwe Baumbach 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

Hi there, running MediaWiki 1.5.8 (prod) and 1.6.8 (test) we use a remote database for user authentication. Since we began that, the user count in Special:Statistics doesn't renew even new user records are added! It seems the code doesn't flow over LoginForm->addNewAccountInternal() ? -> Do we have do add this anywhere in our auth extension? -> Any other suggestions for analyzing or fixing? -- Ich freue mich auf Deine/Ihre Antwort!
