[OT] Create user accessing MySQL DB
by Andreas Tille 12 May '07

12 May '07

Hi, I wanted to access more than one MySQL databases to follow http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family One DB is called wikiDB1 and the according user is called wikiDB1user. According to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/adding-users.html I tried GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP ON wikiDB1.* TO 'wikiDB1user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; but even $ mysql -u wikiDB1user -p wikiDB1 fails on command line so it is clear that I get (Can't contact the database server: Access denied for user 'wikiFG31user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (localhost)) on the Wiki page. Sorry for asking MySQL specific questions here, but this seems the quickest way for me as a bloody MySQL beginner to ask for help. Thanks Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

Securing Passwords: TLS for Logins Only?
by Michael B Allen 12 May '07

12 May '07

Hello, Is there a way to make user logins occur over TLS? Meaning when the user clicks Login the protocol scheme is changed to https (if it is not already) and then, after having successfully logged in, changed back to what it was previously?

Viewing .fli files
by rex 12 May '07

12 May '07

I've added .fli to the allowed file upload types and uploaded a video clip, but when the [[image: myfile.fli]] link is clicked the information page about the file is shown instead of the file itself. Is there some way to bypass this distracting step? Thanks, -rex -- Computers run on smoke. If it leaks out they stop working.

Enable Uploads
by Barb Smith 12 May '07

12 May '07

Hi, I've been searching and asked around but I'm not making any progress. We have a mediawiki intergrated with IPB. We want to enable file uploads, specifically images. The instructions we found were to enable uploads in LocalSettings.php and to create a directory for uploads and chmod 777 it. We've done that but when we try to upload an image it tells us that it's disabled. We'd really like to resolve this issue. If anybody can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Barbara Smith -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

by Steve Finkelstein 12 May '07

12 May '07

Hi all, I have a category on my navigation bar labeled "foo", conceptually. This page is getting rather bloated, and I'd like to create relative links to foo which go to something like /index.php/Foo:Main/Bar or /index.php/Foo/Bar:main (and inherits all the permissions from Foo:Main. Is this possible? thanks! -sf

I was curious about this and looked it up. The .cmd extension signifies an executable Windows file.
