Hello my friends,
Could anyone help me with installing the extension Halo Acl?
I'm following the Wiki 1.15.5 step by step installation yet to run the
scripts, because there is no script for the version of my wiki 1.15.5
Choose the command depending on your MediaWiki installation to patch
MediaWiki:
MediaWiki 1.13.2
- php patch.php -d <smw-dir> -p patch_for_MW_1.13.2.txt
MediaWiki 1.15.1 and 1.15.2
- php patch.php -d <smw-dir> -p patch_for_MW_1.15.1.txt
MediaWiki 1.15.3
- php patch.php -d <smw-dir> -p patch_for_MW_1.15.3.txt
And then running the scripts without the special page appears blank
HALO, ihave the version of SMW 1.5.1 installed and still the HALO ACL
extension is
not working.
Any idea what might be happening? What else do I do?
Waiting in the wings.
Thank you.

I'm trying to implement the security improvement of moving as many includes and behind-the-scenes support files as I can into a non-web-accessible directory as suggested at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Security#Alternate_file_layout however success is fleeting. The problem is that the web page's view seems myopic, that all you need to do is change your include_path and all will work out. This is not the case in my experience: index.php calls files at specific locations, that means you need to hard code new locations in that file; the files that index.php call, like WebStart.php, do things like "$IP=getenv( 'MV_INSTALL_PATH' );" which fetches the original install path of the wiki (where everything else is stored which is exactly what I don't want in this situation) and tries to apply it to more includes files... and this goes on and on.
It looks to me that a simple setting of 'include_path' isn't going to be enough to direct all include/ file requests to a separate branch of the file system. Am I missing something or is the documentation in need of change? Or something else?
Subject says it all. I didn't have Edit and Create page restricted and now
my Text table is 10 gig and my IP is threatening to disable my site if I
don't fix it.
Is there a way to delete all data from the text table except what was
created by the sysop?
I'm sure this has been covered many times but the achieves are not that
friendly for finding things.

Hi there,
My MediaWiki 1.15.1 was working well with the Collection extension and my own mwlib render server to create PDF documents.
Today, I just upgraded my MediaWiki 1.15.1 to MediaWiki 1.16.0. After the upgrade, I get "Render server error" when I try to download a PDF book.
The error message is very long, but it includes:
**********************************************
An error occured on the render server: traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mwlib-0.12.10-py2.4-linux-x86_64.egg/mwlib/apps/render.py", ...
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mwlib-0.12.10-py2.4-linux-x86_64.egg/mwlib/apps/make_nuwiki.py", line 171, in make_nuwiki raise RuntimeError(str(val)) RuntimeError: [Failure instance: Traceback: exceptions.RuntimeError: login failed: {'login': {'cookieprefix': 'mediawiki_docs_', ...
**********************************************
Are there any known issues with the MW 1.16.0 upgrade and the mwlib/Collection?
Any idea is greatly appreciated,

Hello
I tried to google it but did not come up with anything
useful. Wikipedia has a special version for mobile advices
such as iphone. I presume it is a special Skin.
Where can I find this skin and will it work with mediawiki
1.9.3 or is this version to ancient.?
Thanks

Hello guys,
is there any public information about how the donation system of wikimedia
works?
I'd like to realise a donation possibility too, of course in much smaller
ways but I like the different alternatives wikimedia offers, that is not
only having paypal options but also options for credit cards.
Where can I read more about this topic?

Hello
This is a real nightmare. A Mac crashed, the hard disk could
be saved. Right now it can't be booted. That hard disk contained
the wiki of our department.
I don't know precisely the version of the OS (most likely Mac X
10.4), nor the version of mysql (most likely 5.3.x) and to make
things worse I did not generate a dump of the mysql data base.
I have however "access" to the database in the sense that I have
a copy of the files /var/lib/mysql/maqwiki
(maqwiki is the name of the database)
I followed the advice offered in the mysql mailing list
namely
[+]
> service mysql stop
> cd /var/lib/mysql
> rm -rf *
> tar zxvf maqwiki.tar
> rm -rf ib_logfile*
> chown -R mysql.mysql
> service mysql start
However after having installed the mediawiki software (I
stick for the moment to 1.9.3) and trying to connect to the
database I only see empty pages.
- Could it be that the database was damaged when the hard
disk crashed?
As a matter of fact when I have a look into the
/var/lib/mysql/maqwiki
directory most of the files are very small in size with the
exception of searchindex.MYD and searchindex.MYI. I
have no idea whether this is "normal".
- I did not do the recover process correctly. Is there
any "hardcore" mysql command I could use to check the
database?
- the connection between the mediawiki conf and the
data base is broken. How can I check?
Any help is very much appreciated.
