MediaWiki/LDAP Authentication/encryption problem
by Marc Noguera 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Hi all, I have just installed mediawiki at my site and I would like to use LDAP authentication in order to centralize user management. We have a LDAPs server up and running and I am trying to use LDAP authentication extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication). The system is a Fedora Core 10 on a x86_64 I have followed the instruction on the web, at least I think so, and can't login with a valid LDAP user. I ahve enabled LocalSettings.php in order to get debug info with: $wgLDAPDebug=3; $wgDebugLogGroups["ldap"]="/tmp/debug.log"; but the debug.log file is not created The configuration in LocalSettins.php is: -------------------------------------------------------- require_once( "$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php" ); $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin(); $wgLDAPDomainNames = array( "domain" ); $wgLDAPServerNames = array( "domain" => "127.0.0.1" ); #$wgLDAPPasswordHash = array ( "domain" => "ssl" ); $wgLDAPSearchStrings = array( "domain" => "uid=USER-NAME,ou=People,dc=genomica,dc=imppc,dc=org"); $wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array( "domain" => "uid" ); $wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( "domain" => "dc=domain,dc=foo,dc=org" ); $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( "domain" => "ssl" ); ------------------------------------------------------ I am quite lost at the moment and don't know what have to do next. Any advice? Thanks in advance Marc ------------------------------------------------------ Marc Noguera i Julian, PhD Genomics unit / Bioinformatics Institut de Medicina Preventiva i Personalitzada del Càncer (IMPPC) B-10 Office email: mnoguera_at_imppc.org web: http://klingon.uab.es/marc Tlf/Phone: 00 34 935543076 -------------------------------------------------------

'myskin', 'monobook' and some more skins looks pretty the same, but modern was created in 1.12 < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultSkin> and uses other id's; therefore, modern uses it's own common, print and such .css'es. See also en-wikipedia's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-modernskin-thunks.js Your's faithfully, D.D.

Debugging: Checking the value of a variable
by Eric K 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Suppose I have a variable called $Test_int, somewhere in the mediawiki extension that I'm trying to make. Whats the easiest way to know what value that variable has been assigned? I've tried $wgOut but in this case, it probably outputs wgOut but its all gone in the blink of an eye when the page refreshes or when other codes executes. I need a more permanent method of tracking the variable value. Any hints? thanks! Eric

deleting pages slow, database lock blocking
by Nathan Kinkade 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, We have been having some problems where deleting pages takes a ridiculously long time -- something just less than minute. I tracked it down to a particular SQL statement that is getting held up due to another process holding a lock open. I can't figure out what created the lock, and why it's hanging. Could this possibly be a Mediawiki issue, or is this definitely a separate MySQL problem? I see that this is query that is being blocked: UPDATE /* 127.0.0.1 */ `page` SET page_counter = page_counter + 1 WHERE page_id = <page id> Here is the Innodb status while the process hangs: http://pastebin.com/m1afe0b2 I'm not sure how to figure out what opened the lock and what that process was doing. It could be that my MySQL debugging skills are just woefully lacking. But I figured I'd post here to see if anyone else had seen something similar or had any ideas. Thanks! Nathan

MediaWiki math - problem with one symbol
by Clayton 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Take a look here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Entering_a_formula#Example_2:_.CF.… The wild spacing is being caused by an incorrect rendering of /simeq in WikiMath in several places in this section. Anyone have any ideas why this one symbol is broken? or how to correct it?
