PDF Export with htmldoc
by Mei Wu 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi all, I have htmldoc 1.8.21 running on Windows XP (compiled from source) and I installed the Pdf Export extension from the Mediawiki page. Now, when I hit the "Print as PDF" Button in the left toolbar, Acrobat Reader opens and tells me that the "File does not begin with %pdf". The php error log file shows the following error: [03-Jul-2006 23:58:55] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent in Unknown on line 0 The Apache log file did not produce an error message. Does anybody has an idea what the problem might be? Thanks for your help. Mei

Re: [Mediawiki-l] [Wikitech-l] Microsoft Exchange Server and Mediawiki

Hi, I am running a local Microsoft IIS 5 smtp server on the Windows XP machine. In the php.ini, I have specified localhost as the smtp server. When I go to the Wiki logon page, type my username and hit the "Email password" button, I get the following error message: Error sending mail: Failed to connect to localhost:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. (code: -1, response: )] I don't know what the problem is. When I try to logon to the smtp server using "telnet localhost 25", it does not work ("Connect failed"). Thanks for your help.

Faking a MonoBook feel for an HTML form
by Shai Shen-Orr 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi, I have redirected my wiki to link to an HTML form I'd like to wiki users to use to create new pages in the wiki. However, I'd like to keep the monobook feel for the page so that the users are oblivious to the fact that they have momentairly stepped away from the wiki and into an HTML form. Can anyone offer advice on what's the best way to do so ? I am using the same style sheet but the skin php classes are quite messy for a php novice and it is not clear where exactly is the code which loads the wiki pages (and which I will need to replace the HTML form). Thanks, Shai

Problems using mwdumper.jar
by Ulisse Savi 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I would like to use a wikipedia dump in my installation of Mediawiki 1.6.7 here http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/, using the proceduce found here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps I have used mwdumper, because tutorial ask that importDump is slow. mwdumper mwdumper is a standalone program for filtering and converting XML dumps. It can produce output as another XML dump as well as SQL statements for inserting data directly into a database in MediaWiki's 1.4 or 1.5 schema. I have lauched the command in the server : [root@myserver maintenance]# java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.5 enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 | mysql -u databaseuser -p databasename Enter password: "i have used my database password" 1,000 pages (19.529/sec), 1,000 revs (19.529/sec) ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 46: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 2,000 pages (21.128/sec), 2,000 revs (21.128/sec) 3,000 pages (21.702/sec), 3,000 revs (21.702/sec) 4,000 pages (21.048/sec), 4,000 revs (21.048/sec) 5,000 pages (20.578/sec), 5,000 revs (20.578/sec) 6,000 pages (20.369/sec), 6,000 revs (20.369/sec) 7,000 pages (20.078/sec), 7,000 revs (20.078/sec) 8,000 pages (20.085/sec), 8,000 revs (20.085/sec) 9,000 pages (20.048/sec), 9,000 revs (20.048/sec) 10,000 pages (20.223/sec), 10,000 revs (20.223/sec) 11,000 pages (20.159/sec), 11,000 revs (20.159/sec) 12,000 pages (20.117/sec), 12,000 revs (20.117/sec) 13,000 pages (19.962/sec), 13,000 revs (19.962/sec) 14,000 pages (20.244/sec), 14,000 revs (20.244/sec) 15,000 pages (20.204/sec), 15,000 revs (20.204/sec) 16,000 pages (20.167/sec), 16,000 revs (20.167/sec) 17,000 pages (20.259/sec), 17,000 revs (20.259/sec) 18,000 pages (20.18/sec), 18,000 revs (20.18/sec) ..... ..... ..... The problem is that it is the first time in my life that i use MediaWiki and i'm not an expert. 1) I continue to have not any page in the site where i have installed wikimedia and in the database i can not see directly any new entry/page in the site. Exist a system to verify that the dump is inserted really in the database = In the site i use with wikimedia i have not any new page here : http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/ Exist a system to verify if the dump pages are in the database ? In a message of your list i have found about a similar problem http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:3LLMxLN9gPcJ:mail.wikipedia.org/piperm… "2) Are you using read-only mode on the wiki? " I have installed mediawiki using the standard procedure and at the moment i have not did any changing in the configuration/setting. To use the dump i have to make some particular setting/configuration ??? 2) Why this error, after launching the script ? [root@myserver maintenance]# java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.5 enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 | mysql -u databaseuser -p databasename Enter password: "i have used my database password" 1,000 pages (19.529/sec), 1,000 revs (19.529/sec) ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 46: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 Have you an idea ? 3) When mwdumper.jar has finished the work what i have to do, to use the dump in my system ? I have not found instructions about that in the wikimedia site. When msdumper has finished i need to make some particular setting/configuration in my installation of mediawiki to use the pages in my site/system ?

Microsoft Exchange Server and Mediawiki
by Mei Wu 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi all, I installed Mediawiki in a company intranet behind a proxy server. The smtp server the company is using is a Microsoft Exchange Server. My problem is that I don't know how I can specify this Microsoft Exchange Server to send my mail. I specified the address of the Exchange server in the php.ini but I got the error message that the connection failed. I also tried to use the internal Microsoft smtp server (IIS 5) on the local machine. But it also did not connect to the destination mail server. I would appreciate any help how to configure the smtp server in my case. Mei

Reminder: 1.7.0 coming soon
by Brion Vibber 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Just a reminder: the 1.7.x quarterly release series will be branched off from development trunk this coming week. Older release versions should continue to receive important security fixes for up to a year, but new feature development is done on the main trunk. 1.6.x may probably continue to get a little more lovin' as far as simple fixes and localization updates since the new 1.7.x and higher will no longer run on PHP 4.x. PHP 5.x is required for future versions of MediaWiki. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Installing an Event Countdown Timer
by John Eix 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

I am trying to run a countdown event timer (PEZ) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PEZ/Countdown_Extension The extension is composed of Countdown.php and countdown.js First I copied the Countdown.php and countdown.js scripts into my editor and changed the following line in the php file: $text = '<script language="javascript" src="http://h2wiki.halowiki.net/files/countdown.js"></script>' . "\n"; for me it becomes- $text = '<script language="javascript" src="http://my domian/wiki/extensions/countdown.js"></script>' . "\n"; Then I uploaded Countdown.php and countdown.js to the extensions folder using secure login from a computer on my network. On the server I edited the LocalSettings.php file at the bottom of the file adding the following on a line just before the code ?> include( 'extension/Countdown.php' ); The following were added to my wiki page: <countdown name="SUMMER" time="15/07/2006 8:00 AM UTC-0400"> Number of sleeps till we leave for Leslie's Cottage '''<D>''' Number of hours '''<H>''' Number minutes '''<M>''' and Number seconds '''<S>''' </countdown> After doing all that it appears that the Countdown.php and countdown.js files are being read but time is not displayed. (I compared the html source code from my site to one where the extension was working and the code regarding the extension was the same) I expect it has something to do with the time format on the server but I have tried changing the time setting with no luck. Maybe I have missed some change in LocalSettings.php??? Anyone have any suggestions??? Thank you for considering this request.
