Posting to the list.
Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common
questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if
your question has been asked before.
Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you.
Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may
wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well.
To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a
public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you

When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of
your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your
message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting
style[11], for clarity.
When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer
people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post.
Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list,
which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are
posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the

avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic.

Hi all,
I'm trying to modify the GuMax skin for my site. And it is, I
think, *almost* working. The bug I've found is on a file
description page, e.g.
http://www.parts-unknown.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=File:Greater_hindust…
As you scroll down past the image (a map of Hindutva territorial
ambitions as indicated by Anjana Chatterji that's actually rather
scary), you get to the File History. The table background should be
transparent. Instead, it's white. Or none, which seems to produce
the same result.
I've gone through all my .css files trying to find why it isn't.
And I'm failing. I've made a copy of the skin available at
http://www.parts-unknown.org/mediawiki/files/earthwiki2.tgz if that
helps.
What do I need to fix?
Thanks!

Hi,
Two weeks ago I upgraded my wiki, http://wikigogy.org, from MediaWiki
1.9.2 to 1.16.0.
Maintenance/update.php ran fine (after I removed the leading './' from
the path to Bad Behavior in LocalSettings.php which had thrown a
warning the first time through).
I now see that _search_ is not finding all pages it should: I _think_
search is finding only pages that have been edited post upgrade!
Example:
First this search found only one page:
http://wikigogy.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=approa…
[[Natural approach]]
Then I did a trivial edit at the end of another page that I knew
search should have found, [[Method, approach and strategy]], repeated
the same search and it found both:
[[Natural approach]]
[[Method, approach and strategy]]
Any idea why this is happening?
Is there a maintenance script I can run that will "touch" every page
on my wiki so that search will search them all again as usual?
A better way to solve this?
I have shell access to my wiki server and will happily provide any
additional info that will help solve this puzzle.
My LocalSettings.php has nothing about "Search" in it, but in contains
the word "Cache" here:
## Shared memory settings
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
$wgMemCachedServers = array();
and there:
# When you make changes to this configuration file, this will make
# sure that cached pages are cleared.
$configdate = gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( __FILE__ ) );
$wgCacheEpoch = max( $wgCacheEpoch, $configdate );
Is that relevant in any way?
Thank you,
Roger Chrisman --Wikigogy.org
MediaWiki 1.16.0
PHP 5.2.14 (litespeed)
MySQL 5.0.91-community-log
Hi guys,
I was trying to upgrade my installation of mediawiki from 1.15.4 to 1.16,
following the procedures listed on the Mediawiki upgrade page, and I ran
into a database error along the way. I'm using Debian Lenny with PHP
5.2.6-1+lenny9 (apache2handler) and Postgres 8.3.12. During the upgrade
procedure I got this error:
Query: CREATE TABLE user_properties(
up_user INTEGER NULL REFERENCES mwuser(user_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
up_property TEXT NOT NULL,
up_value TEXT
)
Function: DatabaseBase::sourceStream
Error: 1 ERROR: there is no unique constraint matching given keys for
referenced table "mwuser"
And now the wiki is down. Can anyone help me figure out what to do from this
point? Luckily I have daily backups of the database so that's not a huge
problem, but I'd like to get this up and running again ASAP. I actually
restored a backup over the database and tried to install mediawiki 1.15.5
(from Debian's backports repository, since Mediawiki's archives are down)
but now anything related to editing is broken. I did not try deleting the
database and then restoring the backup though, which I probably should when
I get the time. Unfortunately it's a private internal wiki but if any more
information is needed I'd be happy to provide it.
Thanks!

Hello
I know mediawiki 1.9 is ancient but I have a running
installation with quite some extension which I would like to
export to a different machine which unfortunately must run
Kubuntu 10.04.
When I try to run 1.9 it does not work and I when I try to
install it from scratch I see the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE, expecting
T_STRING in /var/www/wiki/includes/Namespace.php on line 46
I presume this is hopeless?!
Any advice is strongly appreciated

Hello everyone,
After an update 1.12.0 to 1.16.0 (apparently successful), an error
message appears by submitting photos to the wiki:
"Warning!
The upload directory (public) is not writable from the web server. "
Rather than give permission anyway, maybe there specific instructions?
Another concern, some images are not displayed and the error message is:
'Unable to run external Programs in safe mode'
In addition, on some pages, appears at the top, for example :
Warning: mkdir () [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /
home/www/f8d56dcb8a058b382b573d2a8274e93a/web/wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php
on line 2176
Warning: wfMkdirParents: failed to mkdir "/
home/www/f8d56dcb8a058b382b573d2a8274e93a/web/wiki/images/thumb/5/5c/Eglise-Corancy.jpg"
mode 511 in /
home/www/f8d56dcb8a058b382b573d2a8274e93a/web/wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions
. php on line 2179
Thank you for the help that you will make.

Hey everybody,
I was wondering whether I can have two discrete wikis (semantic wikis to
be more accurate) sharing the same database on the same server. My
intention is to launch a simpler copy of the existing wiki (so they are
going to have the same database scheme). I want both of them to be
up-to-date, namely, if someone edit the one, the changes should appear
on the other as well. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Nata
The local settings file only defines the default skin variable once and it is set to cancervoicesnew. Also, after I log in my preferences shows the skin to be cancervoicesnew. Still doesn't answer the question of when I initially connect, the skin displayed is Vector and not that defined in the local settings file.
Sounds as if I am the only one having this issue.
