From the shell, when I execute the "php --version" command,I see this: PHP 5.1.6 (cgi) (built: Sep 4 2006 15:50:24) Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies What am I missing?

Problem with <math> support
by Šerých Jakub 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Hi, I have installed mediawiki (version 1.6.8) on Debian 3.1. Afterwords I succeded to install <math> support. It is perfectly working with simple formulas (both conversions to png and html), but it has problem with parsing more difficult formulas for example: <math> U_{out} =\begin{cases} U_{S+} & \mbox{if } U_+ > U_- \\ U_{S-} & \mbox{if } U_+ < U_-\end{cases}</math> I tried to copy formulas, which are working on Wikipedia to sandbox on my server to avoid syntactical errors and it says (in red color) that it cannot understand it. I would like to ask which component is responsible for parsing the math language and which version I have to install to completely understand the wikipedia math syntax. Thanks in advance for any help. Jakub P.S. I just subscribed myself to this list and the first mail had problem vith delivery, so I'm sending it for the second time. So I apologise in advance if the same mail comes 2 times.

personalize toolbox mediawiki
by city wiki 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

I've seen some wikis have managed to personalize their toolbox, such as http://www.chelseawiki.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. Is there a simple way to do it, besides altering monobook skin? Basicly, to eliminate whatlinkshere, recentchageslinked, printable version, and permalink. Thanks.

Installation not recognizing mysql or connecting with postgresql
by David Jacobs 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Okay, so when I used the $root/wiki/config/index.php file to install the MediaWiki software on my G4, it didn't recognize that I have MySQL installed (I have 5.0.24.) So I decided to just go with postgresql, which is also installed. I entered the correct db info, and under "database host" put localhost. I get the following: PHP 5.0.5 installed Found database drivers for: PostgreSQL PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. PHP is configured with no memory_limit. No zlib support. Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator nor APC are installed, can't use object caching functions Found GNU diff3: /usr/bin/diff3. Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled. Installation directory: /Library/WebServer/Documents/wiki Script URI path: /wiki Environment checked. You can install MediaWiki. Generating configuration file... Database type: PostgreSQL Loading class: DatabasePostgres Attempting to connect to database server as xxxxx... error: No database connection What am I doing wrong? Thanks, ElAmericano

templates and parsing question
by Charlie McElfresh 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

In an effort to figure out how templates work on mediawiki, I copied the source from Wikipedia's "Sacramento, California" page, and then installed the "Infobox_City" template on my Wiki. I installed ParserFunctions.php. When I look at my "Sacramento, California" page in edit mode, under the "Templates used on this page" section, here is the first template listed: Template:! I trace this back to the template "Infobox_City", where there are lots of operators like this: {{!}} ... which, I am guessing, are being interpreted as template declarations. Can someone set me on the right track on how to get my wiki to parse these {{!}} operators properly? Thanks, Charlie
