database did not find the text of an existing page after upgrading from 1.11 to 1.14
by Frames Project 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Hello I tried to upgrade from 1.11 to 1.14. All operations have been done locally with the Mediawiki tools. The details of the procedures are given in the wiki page : http://comprendrelactualite.free.fr/mediawiki/index.php/Mediawiki_Upgrading… (log in and comment please) Everything seemed to be ok. Nevertheless, when checking some (not all) pages at random, while the page name is correctly provided by the wiki, the page text is empty and I got the following error message, that I do not understand : La base de données n’a pas trouvé le texte d’une page qu’elle aurait dû trouver, intitulée «XXXX» (révision # : 2485). Ceci est habituellement causé en suivant le lien périmé d’un diff ou de l’historique vers une page ayant été supprimée. Si cela n’est pas le cas, vous pouvez avoir trouvé un bogue dans le programme. Veuillez en faire part à un administrateur et lui noter l’adresse cible du lien. which could be translated by : the database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named « XXXX » (révision # :2485) This is usually due to following the obsolete link of a diff or of the history to a page that has been removed. If this is not the case, you should have found a bug etc... 1. Why this error occurs ? 2. What could I do to fix it ? Thanks Francois Colonna

mysql5 binary schema
by Ben Willmore 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

I have an old mediawiki installation, which used to run on mysql 4 and mediawiki 1.6 (ish). I dumped the database and moved to a new machine, with mysql 5 and mediawiki 1.14. When I import the data to the new wiki, I get a choice between mysql 5 binary, mysql 5 UTF-8 and backwards-compatible mysql 4 UTF-8. If I choose either of the mysql 5 options, the install produces a warning that the database is still using the mysql 4 schema, and all non-ascii characters are corrupt. If I choose the mysql 4 option, everything seems to work fine, but I get a dire warning that using mysqldump may break all non-ascii characters. I need to use mysqldump to back up the wiki. So -- how can I upgrade my mysql4 database to one of the new mysql 5 schemata? Thanks, Ben

Problems with Extension:Cite
by Peter Velan 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Debian Lenny MediaWiki: 1.14.0 PHP: 5.2.6-3 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.0.51a-24-log Cite: 'svn-revision' => '47190' (2009-02-12 18:02:27 ) Hello, I would like to use simple footnotes and aftre some reading I installed Extension:Cite. But integrating it in LocalSettings.php via ... require_once( "$IP/extensions/Cite/Cite.php" ); ... lets Apache throw a 500 (= internal server error). What really puzzles me: a) apache accesss.log: ###.###.###.### - user.name [25/Mar/2009:11:17:51 +0100] "GET /wiki/index.php/Hauptseite HTTP/1.0" 500 26 "http://www.mydomain.tld/" b) apache error.log: - nothing - c) PHP log: - nothing - The only indication of a failure is the status code '500' in apache's access.log and the empty screen after calling the wiki mainpage. Any hints? Peter

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in Unknown on line 0
by mschamschula＠gmail.com 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hi mediawiki folks, I installed MediaWIki 1.14.0 on my Mac OS X Server 10.4 machine. I'm running Apache 2.2.11, php 5.2.9 and MySQL 5.0.77. I had no problem running config/index.php, but when I try to the link to index.php/Main_Page the server times out with "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in Unknown on line 0" in the error_log. I tried tracing this, and got to includes/Wiki.php, specifically line 447: $article->view(); . If I comment this line out the page doesn't hang, but also fails to display anything... Any ideas? TIA Marius
