Hi All,
I have a project on Sourceforge that has a mediawiki (1.6.8), which is
working well.
I want to enable Math support for latex equations. It doesn't work,
and I've read all the "it doesn't work pages"
a) I have set up an images directory in /tmp/persistent/myproject,
which is server writable
b) I have created two subdirectories tmp and math under that, which
are also server writable
c) I have enabled tex=true in localsettings.php.
d) I have corrected the $wgMathPath, $wgTmpDirectory and
$wgMathDirectory in localsettings.php
e) Since SF doesn't have Ocaml, I uploaded the binary from the
mediawiki sourceforge page to /wiki/math/, and chmod a+x it.
f) I go into the wiki and try to create an equation - however it
doesn't render - I get a "Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed;
check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert)"
error.
g) I fire up Cygwin (I'm on a windows box) and go to
/tmp/persistent/myproject/images/tmp/ and find a tex file there. I
run the command latex *.tex and it produces a .dvi file. I can also
dvips the file and can subsequently convert it. It seems not to be a
problem with the support programs
h) Thinking that it might be a problem with the texvc binary I go back
to /myproject/htdocs/wiki/ and try to run the texvc binary from the
command line, typing: texvc from the bash prompt (I'm a linux newbie),
no joy. I then try typing sh texvc from the bash prompt, no joy
again. All I get is texvc: command not found. I tried entering the
command from the readme file in the texvc file, no joy. (I did do
chmod a+x texvc).
I tried copying the texvc binary to tmp/persistent/myproject directory
to see if it would run, no but it didn't
i) I can't make a new binary, as there is no OCaml on the SF shell
server (which runs Fedora 2), and I don't have access to a linux box.
Sorry for the length of the mail, I just wanted to describe the problem fully.
Does anyone have any suggestions, I'm stumped.
cheers,
Andy
Has anyone attempted to add the Google analytics tracker to their wiki
pages?? I'm finding it very difficult to do so, any help would be most
appreciated... I need to add the following code to every page on the
wiki..
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>
Thanks in advance..

So I am trying to limit the number of feeds of "New pages" to 10 instead
of the default 50.. but overwriting the variable in Localsettings.php
does nto affect it. For an anonymous user, it still shows 50 feeds.
Any pointers?
Thanks

I am trying to get the LDAP Plugin working for use on a corporate site
here.
I now see a "your domain" pull down on the log in screen which tells me
I have done something correct.
My problem is that when I try logging in nothing happens. I don't see
any errors. I am at a blank page that says.
The address bar has
http://my_server/my_wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&action=submit
login&type=login&returnto=Main_Page
All I did was copy the code from
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=2050&action=view into my
includes directory and then paste the lines from the configuration
example here...
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication_Configuration_Example
s#Configuration_for_an_AD_Server
I tried disabling the use of SSL by turning $wgLDAPUseSSL to false in
LocalSettings.php.
Any ideas on how to debug this problem?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Stefan,
why not just using https ?

Hello everybody,
I am using Mediawiki 1.67 with Apache and PHP5 and my question is about
an encrypted user authentication. I want to make sure that user name and
password cannot be seen when e.g. wiki users use public wireless LAN
hotspots.
I found
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER
but it seems to be rather complicated. Is the article above still up to
date or has Mediawiki 1.7 this feature which I have simply to enable via
LocalSettings.php? What do you think is the easiest way to get the
authentication encrypted?
Many thanks,
Stefan Mueller
Folks
I am working on a project that would add some really exciting capabilities to the MediaWiki. I am looking for a developer who knows the source code base interesting in consulting on this project.
I’ve been working on modeling threats to election systems, the value of having a paper trail as well as other means to prevent election fraud.
The results are here:
http://www.brennancenter.org/programs/dem_vr_hava_machineryofdemocracy.html
We have budget to add threat modeling capabilities to the MediaWiki which could be used for lots of other modeling tasks.
The work involves taking our catalogs of attacks on voting systems and representing them in ways that are more understandable, editable, augmentable, and still easy to manipulate and analyze automatically.
Anyone out there want to get paid to add some cool capabilities to the MediaWiki? You will get to work with and perhaps publish with some of the major names in computer security and perhaps develop a new methodology for decision making in the IT security space.
Send an email if there is ANY chance you would like to help, either take the lead and get paid or consult and support our work to protect democracy as a volunteer.
The ideal candidate would know something about computer security.
Please write to ericlewisii(a)aim.com directly on this.
Eric
