I am in the process of migrating all our our mediawiki installations into one installation.
In order to do this I need to export all of the site data and re-import it into a category on a different site.
Is there any tool I can use to do this?
If not, what is the easiest way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Is there anyway we can set the images directory to be a URL and not a local path on the Hard Drive or shared mount point? Images upload directory is fine, its when the users browse the site and render the images is when I have an issue. The issue only presents it self when an images is updated.
I am having issues with NFS caching and would like to mitigate it using a URL GET instead of going through NFS.
Any suggestions with this?
Thanks!
Hey, all,
Thanks for your quick and fantastic responses! I am loving this list. :)
I take the excellent point about looking at whether this is the right tool for the job. However, the decision to use a wiki comes out of two consultant recommendations to use a wiki and reactions to a failed Sharepoint intranet installation (dating to around 2000) that people hated because it required use of proprietary software, in that case, Microsoft FrontPage. Moreover, the specific decision to use MediaWiki was vetted through all of the proper channels, and no one raised any objections.
Thanks again, everyone!

I'd like to change $wgScriptPath from the default of "/wiki", but I'm having
trouble. If I want to change it to, say, "/mfqzww", do I need to create
a directory called "mfqzww" somewhere? (Didn't think so; there's no directory
called "wiki".)
Generally, I don't understand where things are. When I point a browser to
localhost/wiki, I get redirected to localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. I
see I have an index.php in /srv/mediawiki (same as the directory with
LocalSettings.php). But where is Main_Page? There's no such file. Is
Main_Page just something in a MySql database?
My goal is quite simple. I'm trying to set up a wiki for myself and a
few friends (we're not all on the same network though), and I'd like
to rely on obscurity to keep the material reasonably invisible to the
rest of the world. Unwanted visitors might guess http://tedsserver.net/wiki,
but probably not something like http://tedsserver.net/mfqzww. So that's
all I want to do; change "wiki" to "mfqzww". And unfortunately, just
changing $wgScriptPath doesn't seem to be enough.

Hi, can anyone help me interprete the following passage from
Mediawiki.org:$wgUseSharedUploads<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseSharedUploads>
:
If you operate multiple wikis, you can define a shared upload path using
$wgSharedUploadPath<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSharedUploadPath>.
If $wgUseSharedUploads is set, the wiki will look in the shared repository
if no file of the given name is found in the local repository (for
[[Image:..]], [[Media:..]] links).
Thumbnails will also be looked for and generated in this directory.
Uploads to the wiki will NOT be put there - they will be put into
$wgUploadDirectory <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUploadDirectory>
.
Presently, I am operating multiple wikis and I think this is a good idea,
but the above instructions assume some background knowledge and are
incomprehensible for a novice like me. Supposing I create a new wiki and
database just to upload images and article categories (as in Wikipedia). How
should I go about doing it?

I originally posted the following on www.mwusers.com and couldn't get a
solution. Can I please get some assistance?

I am trying to embed the following into a mediawiki page, and it works in
the preview but not when saved. It keeps saying "Screen Creation Failed.
File May Be Corrupted." The RawHTML setting is properly set to 'true' in
LocalSettings.php. Obviously the filename and location are okay if mediawiki
can render it in preview, but something is off if it can't do it after
clicking Save Page. This, btw, is an embedded object using Right Hemisphere
Deep View (3D image viewer), which is properly installed on my computer. Any
ideas?

Hi, I am tyring to use the TitleKey extension for Version 1.14. It works
perfectly for articles that exist but returns the following error for
articles that do not exist:
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the
software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "TitleKey::exactMatch". MySQL returned error "1146:
Table 'aseanped_dummipedia.titlekey' doesn't exist (localhost)".
What a waste! I find this a really good extension for the search function.
Does anyone knows how to tweak the extension a little so that it ignores
articles that don't exist?

Hello,
Here is my simple but annoying problem :
I installed the OggHandler extension for my wiki. Only to to make audio OGG
files readable.
It was working perfectly fine the first time I tryed to listen to an audio
ogg file I uploaded. The Cortado (Java) mode was running with the progress
bar and etc.
Then, and I don't know how, days later it was not working anymore. Or may I
add "the Cortado (Java) mode was not". The "Browser software" (I guess, my
wiki is in French) works but there is no buttons (it seems that on Mozilla
Firefox, the VLC plugin reads it, with a "Waiting for video" text instead of
the progress bar) and it reads the file twice !
I thought it could be a bad configuration of my short-url .htaccess file,
but I was'nt able to find out were.
Here is a test article of my wiki : http://wiki.oharatree.com/Testhttp://wiki.oharatree.com/Test
Thank you for any help you could provide me.
