by Waleed Meligy 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hello All, this list has been really helpful, i have one more question. Our mediawiki shows these characters: #if: | {{ #if: | [[{{{authorlink}}}|{{ #if: | {{{last}}}{{ #if: | , {{{first}}} }} | {{{author}}} }}]] | {{ #if: | {{{last}}}{{ #if: | , {{{first}}} }} | {{{author}}} }} }} I need to know what should we install to make this work. Thank you for your time, Waleed A. Meligy

Batch overwriting of existing images?
by Ken McDonald 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Can anyone suggest an easy way to do an 'import' of (many) images that are actually updates of previously existing images (and have the same names)? Even if I modify the first existence test in the importImages script, I'm guessing that the statement, $image->recordUpload( '', 'Importing image file' ) will still fail because the database (or other MW code) will prevent overwriting of an existing file by another file. At the moment the best way I can think of to do this is to simply write a script that would go through the 'images' directory and a directory of the new images, and replace on the basis of names. Even there, I'm not sure if the metadata will change appropriately, nor if it needs to. Thanks, Ken

PROBLEM - PHP 5.1
by Eduardo de Lagrenge 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hello to all... I am tring to set up the WIKI engine on my server to open a major free service to the Portuguese University Community but My server is currently running PHP 4.4.6 and they are not wiling to upgrade as they say PHP 5.1 is not secure and ready for production (the e-mail they send me after 2 days of talks is in the end) Is there any version of Wiki that runs on that version? or is there any way to put the current Wiki version runing on that version? Thank you Edu ======MAIL FROM THE SERVER ADMINS====== This PHP version is more secure than you or your client will ever know. It's the latest 4.4.x version, with mod_security rules, adding an extra layer of protection, personally coded by me. This PHP version is secure. Are you really trying to tell me they cant find a secure version that runs on 4.4.6? Not true. What do you suggest, we upgrade PHP on the entire server and have a few hundred websites down because you want a certain version of PHP? Not going to happen, we cant just upgrade PHP server wide, while it's not stable enough / backwards compliant enough for CPanel servers. So once again, find another version of the software, after testing PHP 5.x.x, it's not ready for the production servers yet.

Problem with redirect loop
by Aaman D. Lamba 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hi, I've setup and am managing a wiki for my team, and naturally chose mediawiki:-) The setup, etc. went swimmingly, and some good content is being generated. We are running mediawiki 1.9.3 on mysql 5 and IIS. We are facing a problem wherein if someone edits a section in an existing page (For example, the section marked See Also in the page Beans), the following error message is displayed when the changes are saved. Hitting F5 after the message saves the page correctly. Internal error Redirect loop detected! This means the wiki got confused about what page was requested; this sometimes happens when moving a wiki to a new server or changing the server configuration. Your web server was detected as possibly not supporting URL path components (PATH_INFO) correctly; check your LocalSettings.php for a customized $wgArticlePath setting and/or toggle $wgUsePathInfo to true. I did rename the machine on which the wiki is running, but did not change the directory the wiki is installed in, assume that's D:\cwiki - the virtual directory is set to d:\cwiki, and $wgScriptPath = "/cwiki" Thanks, Aaman Lamba **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Link Files from File-Server
by johan.boye＠latecoere.fr 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

> Hi all... > > is it possible to link files from a local File-Server into mediawiki (1.8.2-12), like a HTML-link? Are you talking about some link like "file://myfiler/myshareCIFS" ? Add in your LocalSettings.php $wgUrlProtocols = array( 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://', 'file://', 'irc://', 'gopher://', 'telnet://', // Well if we're going to support the above.. -Ã¦var 'nntp://', // @bug 3808 RFC 1738 'worldwind://', 'mailto:', 'news:' ); And then, you can do [file://myfiler/share/mynastyword.doc My Link] or [file:////myfiler/... ] But it will mostly work with IE, not firefox. Is there a way to fix it ? > Cheers, > > Tim Johan "Les informations contenues dans ce message électronique peuvent être de nature confidentielles et soumises à une obligation de secret.

need help with http redirect needed because of wiki move
by Philip Beach 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hello all, I would like to move my MediaWiki install to a /wiki directory. I already know the edits to LocalSettings.php that will be necessary, etc. However, many other sites currently link to my wiki and I would like to retain these links. How should I go about setting up a HTTP redirect that would take any request to www.mywiki.com/Page_Name and redirect to www.mywiki.com/wiki/Page_Name? The redirect cannot simply take requests to the site and redirect them to /wiki becuase I many of the links leading to my site are to specific pages (ie. www.mywiki.com/Page_title). My server is running Apache. Thanks a lot!

Email inconsistent
by Dave Sigafoos 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

When a user creates an account they get a notification with link to authenticate. Then when the click that link they get the page saying they have been authenticated. At that point they can go to preferences and select to be notified on changes to pages they watch. The problem is that they do not ever get notifications. I am sure there is something I must setup but be darned if I understand what. If they get the notification email .. why not other emails? Thanks DSig David Tod Sigafoos | SANMAR Corporation PICK Guy .. working on my wiki Envy

You can setup an Alias in Apache (if you use that) Alias /wiki/ "/path/to/www/mywiki_root_dir/" for example "Les informations contenues dans ce message électronique peuvent être de nature confidentielles et soumises à une obligation de secret. Elles sont destinées à l'usage exclusif du réel destinataire.

MediaWiki under Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 Containers ( Zones )?
by Elizabeth Schwartz 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here is running MediaWiki under Solaris 10 or 11 with multiple zones? Seems like it would be great to give user groups their own virtual machine with their own wiki. If anyone here has tried it and has any configuration hints or suggestions it would be most welcome. (or, ask me in a week or three!) thanks Betsy (building my first Solaris 11 box, my first zone box and my first MediaWiki box here...)
