is there a way to upload page updates
by JFCM 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

Hello the wikiworld! Just new so I am not sure this is an old issue, but I did not find response anywhere. I have a few hundred pages I daily update on my PC from different sources. I can produce them in any format (including wikiedit). I would like to know if I can FTP them in some way and to have them loaded as updates of the eve's version. The content of these pages is intrinsic to the wikisite I build, so I would need them to display and be supported the same. I would also like to know if there is an automated way to mail me a diff of the pages that can have been updated by readers. This would permit me to get the updates and validate them before really accepting them in the content? Thank you very much for your suggestions. jfc

Strange wiki behavior.
by John W Foster 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

I recentlyhave this problem develop. I was doing some editing and at some point I decided to open the main page of my wiki to my complete astonishment all the color blocks was gone and uopn looking ate the source code I discovered that every equal sign = = = in the page had been replace with \'\'\'\' I checked several pages and it is consistant through out the entire wiki site. Anyone know what to do?? Second issue is I believe this might a corrupt table in the database. Upon looking for the saved content I can not locate where the actual content is stored. The database seems OK but I wanted to look at some of the pages in a text viewer outside the wiki system. I don't know where Mediawiki is storing the content. Any help please. Thanks! Frosty BTW if you want to take a look the wiki is http://www.physicswiki.net and I really need some pointers. I am new to managing a wiki siute.

Wikimedia hiring a software developer and IT guy in San Francisco
by Brion Vibber 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all you Wikimedians and MediaWikians -- We're now hiring for a software development position at our new San Francisco office. This is an entry-level position, but existing experience with MediaWiki or other LAMP-style development will be a big help. Since we're still a small office, the new guy will also need to help people in the office with basic IT issues; we have a mixed environment with Mac, Linux, and Windows machines, and varying degrees of tech-savvy. We're planning to open up a couple more dev positions over the coming months as budget allows; those will not necessarily be locked to the California office, but for now we need someone who can be on-site every day to lend a hand. Fuller job description at: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Software_Developer_/_IT_Su… Drop me a mail (offlist!) if you're interested, or pass it on if you know someone who will be; we'll be scheduling interviews in the next few weeks. (And yes, we will be posting the position on Craigslist as well.) - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHmpmNwRnhpk1wk44RAnr+AKDTyokaG7YpBWBvK3X4vfMzYj9RDQCaA1WY igzwrxdYL6/Jt8czqAmro4k= =T3Hr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Also it uses Google to search within templates - http://www.google.com/custom?domains=wowwiki.com&q=template%3AServer&sitese… Lastly how would one get a custom error page within the wiki rather then the server 404 page.. example - http://www.wowwiki.com/Cla

Hello, newbie here.
by Cindy Livengood 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Dear List Members, I'm new to this list and new to the wiki admin stuff. I need to start a wiki for my school. I'm not a programmer, but I will learn anything I a need to learn. I need it for both the public use and intra-organizational use of the district I teach in, so some things will require a user log-in and others won't. I have noticed there are several places to download wiki from, but I need to know what would be the best package to download that would be the easiest for me to set up with minimal programming requirements. Any URLs and advice you can offer a newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Cindy

Windows, MediaWiki, Apache: millions of page faults?
by Daniel Barrett 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

For anyone running MediaWiki and Apache on Windows: are you seeing lots of page faults in the httpd.exe process? Like, hundreds of millions? (I've already asked this question in the Apache lists and gotten no response.) To see them, run Task Manager and in the View menu, choose to view "Page Faults". With MediaWiki 1.11.0 and Apache 2.2 running on Windows 2003 Server, every web page hit generates 3000 page faults or more; Is this normal? If not, any suggestions for which settings to tweak first? The httpd.conf file hasn't been changed much from the default. I'll be happy to post it if that helps. There is plenty of RAM (2 gigabytes, only 50% used). It's a VMware virtual machine if that matters. DanB
