No Recent Changes with rebuildrecentchanges.php after XML import
by Russell Jones 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello all, I've searched the for "rebuildrecentchanges" in the archive on gossamer threads, on mwusers.com and in the handbook, and didn't find anything. I've tried running the maintenance script php rebuildrecentchanges.php The AdminSettings.php file has a user with the following privs: Grants for wikiadmin GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'wikiadmin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*<hash>' GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON `wikidb`.* TO 'wikiadmin'@'%' Here's the version info: Product Version MediaWiki 1.12.0 PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny8 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.51a-24+lenny4 I can see recent changes on the source wiki, but not the destination one. I imported the pages with an XML dump. The history all seems fine: the dates are right, and the users are named OK. Any suggestions as to why it doesn't work? Russell

Is there one way to see the setting value of one config variable???
by yihe.chen 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

I installed mediawiki several days ago. And at that time, I had see exclamation marks in recent changes when a newly created user created one new page or edit an old page. But NOW I haven't see anay exclamation marks at all even using another newly created user account to log in and edit. I have read many help pages in www.mediawiki.org/wiki/, but I don't know how to fix it. Is this due to edit pages or create new page in a newly custom namespace???? I know the $wgUseRCPatrol is set to true by default, so, the patrolled edit feature is enabled in a newly installation. But what cause the probleam. Is there one way to see the value of $wgUseRCPatrol in mediawiki software???

How to enable new features of MW 1.16?
by Peter Velan 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hello, I created a testwiki V1.16.0beta3 by cloning my working wiki (1.15.0), then executed a "classic" upgrade by first copying ... $ tar xvfz <mw1.16b3> -C /path/to/my/wiki/ --strip-components=1 ... then running the maintenace script ... $ php update.php --aconf ../AdminSettings.php Everything went smooth and ... - "Special:Version" reports "1.16.0beta3" - in my own preferences I can select the new vector skin But I'm missing ... - editing toolbar improvements - link wizard - table wizard - collapsing items in navigation menu (Vector skin) Do I have to enable this via LocalSettings.php? Do I have to install some additional extensions? TIA, Peter

Hi all, Unsure if this is actually a bug or a coincidental sideeffect, but I've noticed today (while testing an authentication plugin) that my login page remained in a loop. Situation: CASAuth.php added and activated. A request from a non-logged in user to a random page results in an authorization request that correctly defers to CAS. User logs in in CAS and CAS redirects back to MediaWiki which shows the correct new username. So far so good. Now, the user decides to logout using the link in the upper right corner (http://myserver/mediawiki/index.php?title=Speciaal:Afmelden <http://myserver/mediawiki/index.php?title=Speciaal:Afmelden&returnto=Hoofdp agina> &returnto=Hoofdpagina) <-- localized, translates to title=Special:Userlogout&returnto=MainPage A login required page is displayed that in it contains a link to log in again. However, this link apparently takes the current page's title as opposed to the returnto field resulting in a logON link of: http://myserver/mediawiki/index.php?title=Speciaal:Aanmelden <http://myserver/mediawiki/index.php?title=Speciaal:Aanmelden&returnto=Speci aal%3AAfmelden> &returnto=Speciaal%3AAfmelden (title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Special:Userlogout). One can see, a login is immediately logged out again, resulting in a loop. The loop can be broken by /not/ using the login link provided in the loginreq page but by first selecting a random page such as MainPage, changing the inline login link to title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=MainPage The login link in the upper right corner seems to display the same behaviour. My system is MediaWiki 1.15.4 with a HiddenNamespace patch, a (currently commented out) CAS plugin found on (http://kellinwood.blogspot.com/2009/01/casify-mediawiki-with-phpcas.html) and now active Extension:CASAuthentication. This behaviour does not seem intended and is not desired. How can I change this? Met vriendelijke groet, Christian C. Schouten

Although I have to say, that class smells like a > vulnerability. Thanks for the confirmation. As for the vulnerability, I'll take your word for it. Do you perhaps (or does someone else maybe) have an alternative solution so I can use CAS? Ideally, I'd not use LDAP directly so I can administer the ldap details in a central place (CAS) and refer only to the cas server. Is this at all possible given this wpLoginToken change? I am not bound to, nor do I have any preference, any specific extension/method (as long as I can use my existing cas). Met vriendelijke groet, Christian C. Schouten

Unable to CAS-ify mediawiki
by Christian C. Schouten 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Dear all, I'm trying to casify mediawiki as per instructions on http://kellinwood.blogspot.com/2009/01/casify-mediawiki-with-phpcas.html Now, I'm running into a problem that might (or might not?) be what is mentioned in the user comment at the end of the page (wpLoginToken against CSRF) Currently, I've been able to get it to the point where CAS is up and running, connected to an MSAD server, and authenticating properly. Mediawiki is running fine with local accounts. When I enable the casifying changes however, mediawiki properly redirects me to the cas login page, cas properly authenticates me and sends me back to mediawiki, but mediawiki then is stuck on Special:Userlogin. Clicking the login link again from the Special:Userlogin page I see only keeps me there (I am not even redirected to cas). Any thoughts on how this can be fixed are most appreciated. Best, Chris PS: I'm using a localized version of MediaWiki, so Special:Userlogin is called Speciaal:Aanmelden and Special:Userlogout is Speciaal:Afmelden Changes to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file: --- Alias /wiki /var/www/mediawiki/index.php <Directory /> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mediawiki/index.php$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^title=Speciaal:Aanmelden RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mediawiki/login/cas1.php [R,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mediawiki/index.php$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^title=Speciaal:Afmelden RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mediawiki/login/cas2.php?logout [R,L] </Directory> --- Changes to LocalSettings.php --- # CAS require_once "$IP/extensions/CasAuthentication.php"; $wgAuth = new CasAuthPlugin(); $casServerHostname = 'myserver.mydomain.nl'; $casServerPort = 8443; $casServiceURI = '/cas'; $wgLoginFormKey = "tU2HfXYkf6jc454SYqke"; // Random key, change this $wgGroupPermissions ['*']['read']=false; $wgGroupPermissions ['*']['edit']=false; $wgGroupPermissions ['*']['createaccount']=false; $wgWhitelistRead = array("Speciaal:Aanmelden"); --- Files extensions/CasAuthentication.php and login/cas1.php and login/cas2.php are exactly as given on the site linked above.

easy way of uploading images ?
by Philippe Dhont 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi, I wonder if there is an extension or a way so that it makes it easy to 'copy - paste' images in mediawiki ? I have to make a few work instructions with a lot of images and I would gain significant time if I can copy-paste the pictures instead of uploading them. Regards, Philippe Dhont.

Installing on NetWare
by Steve VanSlyck 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hello List, Does anyone have mediawiki installed and working well on a Novell 6.5 NetWare server running alongside GroupWise WebAccess and . . . if you do . . would you be willing to send me your vitual hosts configuration file, specifically the <VirtualHost> section that enables MediaWiki? I've tried following all of Novell's instructions to the letter but no matter what I do, setting up a VirtualHost beaks WebAcess as offsite users who access WebAccess no longer see any images from the server. There must be something I'm doing wrong with httpd.conf and until I can figure out what that might be I'm not willing to go further and attempt installtion of MediaWiki. Apache/2.0.63 (NETWARE) mod_jk/1.2.23 Novell Open Enterprise Server, NetWare 6.5.08
