Last call for translations for MediaWiki 1.15.0
by Siebrand Mazeland 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Dear list members, MediaWiki 1.15.0 is expected to be released early next week (currently MediaWiki 1.15 rc1 is available for download). This means that there is little time left to complete the translations for this release. All willing to contribute to the MediaWiki localisation are urged to join the localisation effort at translatewiki.net. Below you will find a few helpful links. Your help is very much appreciated. I will be updating the 1.15 branch Sunday evening (GMT) for the last time before the 1.15.0 release. Kind regards, Siebrand Mazeland Translatewiki.net staff * Translation statistics (updated daily): http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics * 1.15 untranslated messages (pick your language from the "Language" dropdown and press "Fetch"): http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=core-1.15 * Test MediaWiki 1.15 rc1: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.15/mediawiki-1.15.0rc1.tar.gz

Hi, I am wondering why I keep getting <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" /> My robots.txt file says: User-agent: * Allow: / Disallow: /Help Disallow: /MediaWiki Disallow: /Template Disallow: /skins/ Disallow: /Special:Search Disallow: /Category Allow: /MediaWiki:Monobook Allow: /MediaWiki:Common I added the last two lines thinking that it is because I disallow /MediaWiki but it didn't work either.

Mediawiki is technically a specialized web application server - sitting between the raw web server and a SQL database on the back end which handles the long term storage issues. There are three things which have to be running: 1. Web servers + Mediawiki software - trivially parallelizable, plus a web load balancer on the front end. 2. SQL server(s) - MySQL is easily clusterable 3. Media storage - Easily replicatable or externalized (NFS mounts, optionally from clustered NFS server) What degree of HA do you desire? Simple avoidance of single failure points? Multiple failure tolerance? You can go all the way from "two web/Mediawiki servers and separate MySQL / NFS server on back end" to a redundant network, clustered-everything, geographically distributed in case of single datacenter / internet failure tolerant installation. The cost multiplier for the first is very little - for the latter is a whole lot. -- -george william herbert george.herbert(a)gmail.com

No but if you have two servers and on both servers the wiki is under the same domain name the only thing you have to do is regularly copy all the files and databases to the other server (not in use) if one goes down you will have to change the name servers at the registrar. Technically it would be possible to have two identical wiki's on two different domains on two different servers, but that would be a similar story. You could use this program to backup and ftp the files to the other server automatically http://www.mysqldumper.de/en/ And of course you will have to make some cronjobs to copy files from one server to the other. (wget, pack, unpack etc backup on one server and restore on the other) At 08:33 AM 6/3/2009, you wrote: >Is it possible to have mediawiki be high available? > >I have 2 servers and I would like to have it highly available in case >1 server goes down. > >Has anyone done this before? > >TIA > >_______________________________________________ >MediaWiki-l mailing list >MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org >https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _ _ (o) (o) oOOO----(_)----OOOo--- Henny (Lee Hae Kang) ----------------------------- http://www.henny-savenije.pe.kr Portal to all my sites http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr (in English) Feel free to discover Korea with Hendrick Hamel (1653-1666) http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/indexk2.htm In Korean http://www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/Dutch In Dutch http://www.vos.henny-savenije.pe.kr Frits Vos Article about Witsen and Eibokken and his first Korean-Dutch dictionary http://www.cartography.henny-savenije.pe.kr (in English) Korea through Western Cartographic eyes http://www.hwasong.henny-savenije.pe.kr Hwasong the fortress in Suwon http://www.oldKorea.henny-savenije.pe.kr Old Korea in pictures http://www.british.henny-savenije.pe.kr A British encounter in Pusan (1797) http://www.genealogy.henny-savenije.pe.kr/ Genealogy http://www.henny-savenije.pe.kr/phorum Bulletin board for Korean studies

by Klara 02 Jun '09

I would like use Clean Urls. In my main folder directory i have installed wordpress. Mediawiki in w/. My webhosting packet works with Ubuntu. My .htaccess looks like this: * RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA] RewriteRule ^wiki/*$ /w/index.php [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^/*$ /w/index.php [L,QSA]* and my LocalSettings.php *$wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; $wgUsePathInfo = true; * Mediawiki works only when i put the .htaccess in the home wordpress folder and then Wordpress does not work anymoren. The URL structur should look like this http://www.domain.com/ # direct to Wordpress http://www.domain.com/hauptverzeichnis # direct to mediawiki Is this possible and if so how? Thanks in advance!
