Hello, I am having a problem. The wiki for my company (http://wiki.lormfg.com) has stopped working. When you land on a page all you see is the title nothing else. However, when you click the edit tab you can see what the page is supposed to display all formatted and ready to go. Has anyone got any ideas??? here is the last section from the error log for the site: [Mon Feb 04 11:44:14 2008] [error] [client 150.70.84.41] PHP Warning: preg_replace_callback() [<a href='function.preg-replace-callback'>function.preg-replace-callback</a>]: Compilation failed: this version of PCRE is not compiled with PCRE_UTF8 support at offset 0 in /home/sites/lor/web.02/wiki/includes/MagicWord.php on line 277 [Mon Feb 04 11:44:14 2008] [error] [client 150.70.84.41] PHP Stack trace: [Mon Feb 04 11:44:14 2008] [error] [client 150.70.84.41] PHP 1. {main}() /home/sites/lor/web.02/wiki/index.php:0 [Mon Feb 04 11:44:14 2008] [error] [client 150.70.84.41] PHP 2.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Is there any reason to use a table name prefixifyou don't have to?
by Jack Eapen C 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi, I suppose the original question was not based on such a situation. He (Gadget Doctor) hasn't mentioned about multiple wiki projects in his installation. So, simple answer was he can do away with the table prefix. Even if he wants to add more projects later, he can add prefixes to the new tables. Another point- you mentioned that "Mediawiki has 136 separate tables per-install". But in my MW 1.11, I can see only around 50 tables. Am I missing something?

If you wanted to use a single-database solution (which certain types of MW install are easier to manage in this fashion), your only option is to use table prefixes. In my particular case [ http://projects.plkr.org/encycloplucker/ ], I have 9 langauges against 6 wiki projects (books, news, quote, source, etc.) in one database for ease of management (rapid import/export operations). This brings the total number of tables to a whopping 7,344 if I import them all at once (54 wikis * 136 tables in each). Without using 54 separate databases (functionally not possible in this case, because I'm using just one instance of the Mediawiki source to host all of these wikis), how do you propose a solution that does not involve table prefixes? -- David A.

Help configuring re-captcha?
by Dan Bolser 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

I would like to configure re-captcha in the following way (good or bad), and would like to know if it is possible; A) Non-registered users can edit any page, but always get a captcha B) Registration requires a captcha C) Registered users never see a captcha This seems to be the best balance of non-invasive vs. strict policy that I can think of (assuming that human created spammer accounts are rare and easy to kill). Currently I have it set so that no user can edit unless logged in (requires a captcha to create an account) and even when logged in, adding links to a page triggers the captcha. I think this is too restrictive / too invasive. Any hint on how to set it up like the above? Cheers, Dan. P.S. See MetaBase at http://BioDatabase.Org !!! (or not, its up to you really).

SMW import foaf - wrong in ES
by david 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

I'm using SemanticMediaWiki (SMW) [1] in a spanish wiki. I'm trying to import [2] FOAF vocabulary but it works wrong. It's ok for categories but doesn't works with properties ("atributos"). Any idea for a solution? Estoy usando SemanticMediaWiki en un wiki en castellano. Intento importar el vocabulario de FOAF pero no funciona. Funciona bien para categorías pero no para propiedades/atributos. En una instalación igual pero con el inglés como idioma por defecto sí funciona correctamente. ¿Alguien se ha encontrado con el mismo problema? ¿Alguna solución? ¿Un diagnóstico al menos? ¿alguna pista?

Upload Directory Issue
by Rowe, Dolores A 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

When I try to upload a gif file using my v1.11.0 MediaWiki, I get the following error message: "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver. Retrieved from "http://wiki-ms-0-1/f15mp/index.php?title=Special:Upload" <http://wiki-ms-0-1/f15mp/index.php?title=Special:Upload> " However, I don't have any directory named "public" in my structure, actually is it the default struction, and I am trying to upload to the "images" directory. Pls let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanx ! Lori
