Best way to migrate from 1.6 to 1.15
by Toshi Esumi 04 May '10

04 May '10

Hi, We finally got a new Linux based server (running on VMware) to migrate our current v1.6 wiki for our company knowledge-base to. It's been a quite long story (bankruptcy&acqusition-survival-sort-of-stuff) to get to the current status, which nothing to do with my question. Anyhow, the existing stand-alone machine is another kind of Linux (Centos). I'm guessing our database is relatively simple, mainly text +image files. Since we got a new server, I think we have some options to do the migration safely and effectively. We already got V1.15.2 installed and running on the new server. Does anybody have suggestions for the migration procedure? Or can anybody point me to a wiki page(s) where I can find the info I'm looking for? Just like most of you, we don't have a dedicated IT person who I might able to ask to do some research. Lots of thanks in advance. Toshi

Replacement of EmbedVideo extension?
by dan nessett 03 May '10

03 May '10

On the mediawiki web page for the EmbedVideo extension is this warning: "This extension appears to have been abandoned by its author. If you have any up-to-date information about this extension, please update the page and remove this notice. Users are advised against installing this extension on any current versions of MediaWiki!" Does anyone know of another extension that supplies the same functionality as EmbedVideo? Thanks, Dan Nessett

Get error while editing
by Herulee 03 May '10

03 May '10

When I tried to save the contents of the page then I am getting the error Error: The text you have submitted is 2,056 kilobytes long, which is longer than the maximum of 2,048 kilobytes. It cannot be saved. Does anybody have an idea how to get rid of it? Do I need to change some setting of mysql or php on the server side?

Sub pages in TOC?
by Giuseppe Briotti 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hi all, in my wiki (vers. 1.13) I have several pages with sub pages. I would like to have a list of subpages in the page TOC, say, for instance: TOC: 1. title 1 1.1. title 2 1.2. title 3 Subpages: this is the first subpage this is the second subpage I made some research via google and on mediawiki site without result, thus I made this by templates but I don't like the result. Is this feature available in the box in any other version of Mediawiki? There is any extension to make this or there are people working on such extension to work with? TIA G. -- Giuseppe Briotti g.briotti(a)gmail.com "Alme Sol, curru nitido diem qui promis et celas aliusque et idem nasceris, possis nihil urbe Roma visere maius." (Orazio)

Problem: No more Edit-Funktion, Browser shows empty page. (mediawiki 1.15.1)
by Jens Vieler 03 May '10

03 May '10

hi, our mediawiki 1.15.1 has the following problem: watching, navigating, searching,... everything works fine but whenever we try to edit a page we run into dificulties since the last few days: the browser stops after a while - showing an empty page. no edit-window, no error-message, ...strange! :-( FF leaves an empty page. IE says: (the german version of) the website could not be shown. i tried debugging: - apache-log: nothing in error_log nor access_log - LocalSettings.php: "$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;" - nothing shown. i have to add, that the wiki is one of a wiki-family (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family); the others are working fine. does anybody know how to find out what's going on there? any help is appreciated. kind regards jens

Hi, Is it possible for sub pages or links to be clickable on. I am finding that having a structure to a wiki causes navigation problems. I keep on having to go back to the main page in order to navigate. I have a reference manual page with lots of links to sub pages, I would like the 'Reference Manual' to be clickable on :- Reference Manual/Inheritance Many thanks in advance, Aaron
