Re: [Mediawiki-l] Wikimedia installation on windows XP (Oracle db) - Resending

Hi, Unfortunately the requirement is to use Oracle and not mySql. When I installed php downloaded from php page then I atleast got the page that was letting me provide the configuration information. But with Zend core the setup page just says that it cant find a suitable driver (as shown below). Is there anyway to get around this?

Did not try that. I did try clicking on the refresh button while holding shift. I guess these are two different things...I'll have to try that next time. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Lane, Ryan Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 3:46 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] moving templates Did you remember to clear your cache?

moving templates
by Frederich, Eric P2173 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hello, I had a template. Lets say it was called 'XYZ Guide'. The template was like below.... {| cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 style="background-color: #AEEEEE; border: 1px dashed black; padding: 0px 4px;" |- | This article is part of the '''[[XYZ_GUIDE|XYZ Guide]]''' |} Now, I created a couple of pages with {{XYZ GUIDE}} and then decided I would move the page XYZ_GUIDE to XYZ_INSTRUCTIONS using the move tab. So I figured I should change the template too. I moved the template to Template:XYZ_INSTRUCTIONS using the move tab. I also changed the template to the following.... {| cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 style="background-color: #AEEEEE; border: 1px dashed black; padding: 0px 4px;" |- | This article is part of the '''[[XYZ_INSTRUCTIONS|XYZ Instructions]]''' |} Now when I create new pages and have {{XYZ GUIDE}} on them the page the template displays the word instructions and links to the instructions page. The problem I have now is all of the old pages still have a box that says "XYZ Guide" on them. Could someone please explain to me how this can be? I realize that I have two templates now. One called XYZ_INSTRUCTIONS which says XYZ Instructions and another one called XYZ_GUIDE which is a redirection to XYZ_INSTRUCTIONS. So my question is...why am I still seeing the word guide on my pages? I thought I got rid of it. The only thing that says guide is the template which redirects to the Instruction template. Thanks, ~Eric

xls file extensions
by Niels Winge-Sorensen 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hello, I receive the error "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." when uploading Excel sheets. I have added xls to the line; "$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg', 'doc', 'ppt', 'mp3', 'xls', 'pdf' );" Still uploads are not possible unless I use "#use external mime detector (linux) $wgMimeDetectorCommand= "file -bi"; The problem I face then is that my images do not show correctly because the mime is not detected. If anyone else has had this problem or if I am just looking in the wrong place, I would really appreciate the help. Niels

Wikimedia installation on windows XP (Oracle db)
by rajesh dasari 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi All, I am trying to setup wikimedia on windows using oracle database. I installed apache 2.0.58 and then installed zend core for oracle (zend core engine version 2.0.5 / php version 5.0.5). I can connect to oracle using a test php program so that part is working fine. Now I downloaded Wikimedia and unzipped to apache/htdocs. When I try to run the setup all I am getting is the message below. --------------------------------------------------------------- MediaWiki 1.7.1 Installation Don't forget security updates! Keep an eye on the low-traffic release announcements mailing list. Checking environment... Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. PHP 5.0.5 installed Could not find a suitable database driver! For MySQL, compile PHP using --with-mysql, or install the mysql.so module For PostgreSQL, compile PHP using --with-pgsql, or install the pgsql.so module ----------------------------------------------------------------- What am I missing? Should I install mySql to make this work? Any information will be of great help.

1.7.1 rendering additional space after URL
by info＠brahmakumaris.info 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

I am new to Wiki administration, so please excuse me if this has either been already reported but it appears to me that 1.7.1 is rendering an additional space after URL in Safari and Firefox on Mac OS. I have not tested this on another platform. We are running MediaWiki on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p16 and PHP 5.1. Spaces appear where marked [*] Example ; http://www.brahmakumaris.info/w/index.php?title=Child_Abuse#Child_Abuse_with in_the_BKWSU <quote>Child Abuse within the BKWSU http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~eromain/childprotection.htm[*] Report on Child abuse within BKWSU and response by Senior Administrators. Example ; http://www.brahmakumaris.info/indexwdev.html At bottom ; <quote>Official BKWSU Links For links to the official Brahma Kumaris' websites, see ; http://www.brahmakumaris.com[*], http://www.bkwsu.org[*] or use the Links page below. </quote> ----------- It is a recent, forced, upgrade due to chances in our host's php and ownership settings, that we are still bugfixing. We have other smaller issue with icons above the edit box not loading etc. that have not yet been investigated. Thanks.

eAccelerator path
by 오현성 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hi! I've installed eAccelerator, but it's not being detected by the mediawiki config script. I'm using php-5.1.4 and mediawiki-1.7.1 on Fedora, and eaccelerator.so is currently at /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922 (original location). It's added to php.ini, and running php -v shows it is working, but mediawiki config says: "Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator nor APC are installed, can't use object caching functions." Where does the config script look for it? Or how can I get it detected? Thankyou for you suggestions....

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Adding google analytics features to your wiki
by Arjun Jacob Thomas 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Well, my site seems to have slowed somehow. Google analytics says that you need to install the code snippet right before the </body> tag so that the content on the site loads first. Now since I've loaded this code snippet on my skin directly I'm wondering if that causes it to load first before each page..... Any help with this would be most appreciated.. Thanks guys, AJ. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Petr Andreyev Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:05 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Adding google analytics features to your wiki yes it will. I wonder if there is a more appropriate (without modifying skin files) way to do it.. this is quite a usual task - to insert some script/counter etc. is copying/modifying a skin the recommended way to do it? 2006/7/25, Arjun Jacob Thomas <Arjun.Jacob(a)mphasis.com>: > > > > I inserted the code into the skin of the wiki, I'm wondering if that > would work.... > > -----Original Message----- > From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)Wikimedia.org > [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@Wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Arjun Jacob > Thomas > Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 10:59 AM > To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list > Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Adding google analytics features to your wiki > > > Has anyone attempted to add the Google analytics tracker to their wiki > pages??
