a way doing this ?

Hi all,
Been trying to move a MW database that we have stored in our LAN over to
godaddy.com hosting services (I am not promoting, it just that this is the
service I ue, and if anyone has prior experiance with it, id love to hear
it)
Anyway, my original tables and the ones on the auto install are different.
And I can not figure out how to direct the web to access my old names.
I have copied my tables to the new names strucutre. This seems to be a bad
idea, as there is also a version difference between the 2. I am not a php
guro, but where in the script does it start to mention to which table to
connect? I have looked all over in icnludes, setup, maintenance , can't find
anything.
Would love to hear your advise.
Thanks,
Saar

How can I see what character set my MediaWiki's mysql database is using?
The following tip from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Character_set
did not work for me:
"You can see which character set your tables are using with a statement like
SHOW CREATE TABLE text. The last line will include a DEFAULT
CHARSET clause."
Here's my attempt to do that:
--------------------------------------------------
[roger@cpanel68 ~]$ mysql -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5295221
Server version: 5.0.45-community-log MySQL Community Edition (GPL)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE text
->
---------------------------------------------------
I know little about mysql. Do you see what I did wrong?
I'm worried that my database might be in character set "latin1" and
that mysqldump may corrupt my backup database by auto-converting it to
"UTF-8". I don't know what character set the database actually is in
and don't want to mess it up setting it to "latin1" if it is not
already that.
How can I check the character set of my MediaWiki's mysql database (it
is on a Redhat Linux server)?
Thanks!
Roger

Apparently, if you edit the LocalSettings.php file in the directory you made when you untarred your backup tarball instead of the real one in $wgScriptPath it doesn't take.
My bad. Sorry for the bandwidth.

I figured you had, but I've forgotten to turn those back on when
updating before...
So... more detail about what you see when it "doesn't work"?

Hi,
i just want to have a link in one page to another with an anchor.
Example : page1 i have a link to page2 but i want to go to - say-
chapter 2.1 directely
Is it possible ?
I have v1.12 with fckeditor (the one found here)
Y'all were so fast and helpful with my upgrade issue, that I'm coming right
back to the well.
The reason I upgraded was because I went to modify my group wiki to allow
uploading of PDF and Visio diagrams. I've looked at the relevant docs and
tried the several ways to add types, namely:
(mind the wrap)
$wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'xls', 'mpp',
'pdf');
and
$wgFileExtensions[] = 'doc';
$wgFileExtensions[] = 'xls';
$wgFileExtensions[] = 'pdf';
$wgFileExtensions[] = 'mpp';
(these are right from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads - I've
adjusted mine for just pdf and vsd).
Neither seem to work.
I tried restarting httpd, but realized that really has nothing to do with
it and it's a php thing, surely. I did go into /etc/php.ini and update my
allowable upload size as well.
Clearly, I'm missing something ...
MediaWiki 1.12.0
PHP 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.0.45
All on RHEL 5.2.

Followed the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading
so I probably CAN get back ...
But ...
Now, aside from the main page, I get only blank pages. The only thing that
I can think of that it has to do with the fact that I have this:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true;
set in LocalSettings.php and that it's a cookie or other auth thing. Ideas?

We have a small propreitary wiki, and we would like to be able to search
the entire wiki content daily with sharepoint.
It looks like the easiest way to do that would be to start a crawl at
special:allpages site. However, sharepoint immediately stops any such
crawl because the site has:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />
We looked for but can't seem to find any configuration options that we
set to include those tags. There is no robots.txt file in the root
directory, and we haven't set anything in LocalSettings or
DefaultingSettings to prevent robots from following the page (eg.
Defaultsettings.php has $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array(); and local
settings has no robot directives at all)
1) Is this a default setting for the special pages?
2) If it isn't where can we look for things we might have set that we
can turn off?
3) If it is, is there anything we can turn on to stop that tag from
being put in the page?
If we can't prevent those tags from being inserted, has anyone managed
to use the special:export feature with sharepoint? Any articles that
might help us solve this problem?
In theory I could write a .net application to read the anchor tags out
of the page, then create an .aspx without the noindex, nofollow settings
to crawl the pages on special:allpages. But surely, there's an easier
way.
Thanks,
Chris
