New User Registration With Email
by zelulax 09 Dec '07

Hi folks, is there a way to make new users confirm their own account registration by email (example: by clicking on a link within the email confirmation message)? I want to prevent people from registering with fake email addresses. Thanks in advance! Zelula

Installing MediaWiki in public_html and PHP5 Queries
by atticus＠adventurevacationtrip.com 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Hi, I recently installed mediawiki 1.11.0 in public_html. At first, it prompted me that I am not using php5 and have to install via a .php5 link. I followed the link and came to a 'checking environment' page. At the page, it says PHP 5.25 is installed (?) and gave me the go-ahead to install mediawiki. After the installation, I found that when I go to my domain (http://example.com), my browser prompted me to download a file with my domain's name as the filename. To see my page, I have to go directly to http://example.com/index.php5. So I do a search and thought I can solve the problem by adding AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4 to .htaccess. Well, it doesn't work. Anybody can advice? Is it possible in my case to use .php instead of .php5? Should I edit the .htaccess file before installation and not after? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks. Best Regards, Atticus

Probleme mit Umlauten in der Adressleiste
by MaxPaint 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Hallo liebe community! Ich habe mir ein Wiki eingerichtet, das soweit auch problemlos läuft. Ich habe jetzt nur ein Problem mit Umlauten in der Adressleiste und das auch nur beim Firefox. Leider weiß ich nicht, wie ich dieses Problem lösen kann, und hoffe daher, hier Hilfe zu finden. Also, die DB ist korrekt konfiguriert. Alle Umlaute, die IN einem Artikel sind, werden auch korrekt als Umlaut in die DB eingetragen. Nun haben wir einen Artikel namens "Ölfarbe". http://www.malexikon.de/wiki/Ölfarbe Dieser Link funktioniert nur im Internetexplorer. Ruft man die Adresse im Firefox auf, mach dieser aus dem Ö ein %D6lfarbe: http://www.malexikon.de/wiki/%D6lfarbe Richtig wäre aber %C3%96, also: http://www.malexikon.de/wiki/%C3%96lfarbe Das Charset ist korrekt eingestellt. Ich habe bereits meinen provider angeschrieben, da ich gesehen habe, dass auf meinem Server default charset auf "no value" steht und der FFox wohl automatisch ISO 8859-1 annimmt. Soll er aber nicht. Daraufhin habe ich meinen Provider angeschrieben, ob er mal testweise einen default charset einrichten könnte. Als Antwort bekam ich, dass ich das default charset selbst einrichten könne und zwar mit: header ('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); oder ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8'); Hm, ich hab jetzt schon mehrere Versuche gestartet diese beiden Zeilen irgendwo sinnvoll unterzubringen, aber nix davon funktioniert. Meine Frage wäre: Wo schreibt man die Befehle rein? Hilft das überhaupt? Was mich halt nur wundert, ist: Bei wikipedia läuft's problemlos: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ölfarbe Jemand ne Idee? LG Lars

Somewhat OT: wiki about corporate wikis?
by David Gerard 08 Dec '07

The topic of corporate intranet wikis seems to come up a lot. Does anyone know of a wiki about corporate intranet wikis? Both technical and social aspects. Of course, Googling "corporate wiki" produces commercial wiki engine sites and occasional news and blog posts ... - d.

<editsection-brackets> showing, not [Edit]
by Tom Matthews 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

Ever since I upgraded to 1.11.0 every so often <editsection-brackets> shows instead of the [Edit] link, also "my watchlist" turns into "<mywatchlist>" without the quotes at the same time. If I reboot my server everything returns to normal. There is nothing in the error log. Note: the <mywatchlist> is still a link and works but the <editsection-brackets> is not a link. Fedora 4 with up to date rpms Apache 2.0.54 PHP 5.0.4 MySQL 4.1.20
