Hello all,
I have a MediaWiki installation which I am trying to migrate to a different
machine. Migration seems to work fine except for one small detail: a whole
lot of files which are local to the Wiki and thus should only be referenced
as local URL's (i.e, by using the relative path) are listed in the
mw_externallinks database table, and listed by the full path (http://... )
to boot.
So , my questions are as follows:
1) Why did this happen? What is misconfigured in my Wiki?
2) How to avoid this in the future.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas,
.. and how to install that kind of terminal on my **personnal** PC running
Windows XP + WAMP ?
I believed it was'nt any right pb with any php program running at home with
XP.
.. Any idea about the way to deal with that for me ?
n00b I am, n00b I'll die too ;O))
PS : for my distant wiki, the hoster just answer me that's no solution for
me because I'am hosted through a "mutualised" server (that does not allow
any ssh) and not a private server,

By the way, I just updated the SVG section in the manual:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration#SVG
Is anyone here actually using Inkscape or Sodipodi for SVG rendering
in MediaWiki? What's the performance like? Has anyone tested this?
(I was also surprised to discover Safari on MacOS X does SVGs
natively. I haven't tested with my personal favourite bastard SVG from
Hell ...)

We wish to restrict anonymous views to our mediawiki installation. Every
unauthorized user is to be redirected to a particular page. This page
may not be a wiki page.
Can we do this using LocalSettings.php?
If not, do we have any extension/hook for the very purpose?
Thanks in advance
Hallo,
ich bin stolzer Admin einer mediawiki. Nachdem ich das Importieren
meiner 6000 Seiten per xml fast im Griff habe, möchte ich nun den Upload
der dazugehörenden Bilder angehen. Geht das auch per xml? Ich habe die
wiki bisher auf meinem Rechner, kann also auf die Dateistruktur und die
Datenbank direkt zugreifen.

I'm starting to get an increase of database errors when editing random
pages. This is the error I am getting:
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the
software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "SearchMySQL4::update". MySQL returned error "1034:
Incorrect key file for table 'searchindex'; try to repair it (localhost)".
-----------------
Any ideas on how to resolve and why this is suddenly happening out of the
blue?
Thanks,
Craig

Hi all,
Need to get this one out, the other main complaint I'm seeing is that
searching page titles is somewhat weird.
The PHPWiki behavior allowed for partial matches. For example, if I had
the following page titles in the wiki:
FooFoo
FooFooBar
FooFooBlah
FooFooArgh
And then I searched for "foof", I'd get title matches on all of the above.
The list would contain all of those and I could click on whichever I was
interested in. We very, very regularly navigate around like this.
If I search on the same terms with the same pages available in mediawiki,
I get no page title matches, just full-text matches.
Is this the expected behavior?
Additionally, it seems like the search is not grabbing some of the new
pages we've added. Have I missed a cron job or similar needed to keep the
search index up to date?
Thanks,
Charles

Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common

When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the

people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post.
Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list,
which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are
posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the

I figured out how to install ImageMagick on my shared web server -
actually, the support team at 1&1 provided instructions at
http://www.faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/ssh_secure_shell/9.h…
. Aside from a warning that the '--without-ttf' option was not valid
(running ImageMagick 6.3.7) and tons of configuration/make warnings, the
install went smoothly. After enabling ImageMagick support in
LocalSettings.php, my thumbnail problems have disappeared. I have not
tested to see where ImageMagick runs out of memory - the largest image I
had on hand was 2400 x 3000 pixels, 24-bit color. Supposedly, the
uncompressed size is 20.1MB.
