importing image from the commandline
by Richard K Miller 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

I'm getting an error when trying to import an FLV movie via the command line: $ php importImages.php --user=Admin ~/my_images/ Import Images Importing my_movie.flv.../libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/php/ 20060613/fileinfo.so: Undefined symbol "php_realpath" I was able to successfully import a .png file, but not .flv, though $wgFileExtensions includes 'flv'. Adding --extensions=flv didn't help either. Any idea what this might be? Best regards, Richard

Convert Characters URL
by snapmikey 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Is this mailing list a right place to get help? Why the silent? Do you know what is 2 - 2 = is? Well, are you aware that people who are using the MediaWiki software don't know that after created "Nutley (NJ)" article will not get absolute URL characters "Nutley_%28NJ%29" like Wikipedia gets absolute "Nutley_(NJ)" URL characters, not the percent-encoding characters of URL? Thanks, Mikey3D

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Several error url related
by Giuseppe Briotti 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Thanks Platonides! I've increase the memory limit to 40M and it works for the page "Elementi Avanzati/Esempi di Mestiere" that is really huge. Probably this was the same error on the "Elementi Avanzati/Le Capacità" page. Unfortunately, because some try on export-import (thinking that it could be a charset problem too) I have REALLY a charset problem now! For example, I've seen that for the url http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Categoria:Capacit%C3%A0 The word Capacità in hex is has follow: C a p a c i t à 43617061636974c3a0 <- correct instead I've this: 43617061636974c383c2A0 <- wrong And because I forgot the settings for the working export-import sequecence, I must redo all my tests... (oh... I really hate the charsets :-D ) G. -- Giuseppe Briotti g.briotti(a)mclink.it "Alme Sol, curru nitido diem qui promis et celas aliusque et idem nasceris, possis nihil urbe Roma visere maius."

Several error url related
by Giuseppe Briotti 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

Hi all... I've a mediawiki web site running mediawiki vers. 1.10.4 I'm interesting in upgrade to 1.13.2, thus, I create a local site using xampplite with MW 1.13.2, PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 5.0.51. The database was exported via phpMyAdmin 2.8.1 (no console access on web server) as SQL file and then reimported in local MySQL by console source command (the file is too large to work by phpMyAdmin). (Unfortunately, I cannot create a local site similar to the production one, that is running MW 1.10.4, PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.1.23) Anyway, all installed and it seems it goes fine, except for two errors on two pages.
