Special characters in URLs in templates
by Morten Blaabjerg 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

I use a quotation template in my wiki and for years it's been bugging me that external links don't always show up as they should, when used within templates. More often than not a simple {{{1}}} or {{{2}}} occur instead of the expected external link. Now it seems I've traced what seems to be the root of the problem. A URL like this one : http://web.archive.org/web/20061219205042/http://www.dis-danmark.dk/sydfyn/… works well : [ http://web.archive.org/web/20061219205042/http://www.dis-danmark.dk/sydfyn/…] shows up as a correct external link showcasing "source" highlighted in light blue. A URL like this one : http://www.dis-sydfyn.dk/viewpage.php?page_id=4 does not work : [http://www.dis-sydfyn.dk/viewpage.php?page_id=4 source] shows simply as {{{2}}} The differences in the two URLs are the use of the characters "?" and "=" in the latter case. If these are replaced by "/" the external link is highlighted, but of course won't lead one anywhere. Case in question : http://notatwiki.dk/index.php?title=Rejsen_til_Amerika The template itself is pretty straightforward. It uses to variables and contains only this bit of HTML and MediaWiki markup : <blockquote class="toccolours" style="line-height: 1.5em;"> <div style="text-align=left";>{{{1}}}</div> <div style="text-align: right; font-style:normal;">{{{2}}}</div> </blockquote>" Any ideas for a remedy to make these URL's work in templates? Raw links seem(!) to work regardless of what characters they contain, so the problem seems related to the [ ] containment of the URL. Yours Sincerely, Morten Blaabjerg -- Fri software (fri som i ytringsfrihed, ikke som i gratis) er efter min mening et af de allervigtigste spørgsmål i vores tid. Jeg støtter derfor Free Software Foundations arbejde for udbredelsen af fri software : http://fsf.org/ Læs mere om hvorfor dette er så vigtigt her : http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-free.html

SSL Authentication with AD
by David Holder 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi Everyone, I made a similar post (AD Template Request) but now my config is fine I need to ask a different question, hence the new post. I've managed to get our mediawiki setup authenticating to my Active Directory backend with no encrpytion fine. Now I want to authenticate with using LDAPS, but unable to do so. I've read through the documentation and mailing lists but still cannot find an adequate solution. The things that have been tried: - Created C:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf and entered "TLS_REQCERT never" - No change - Tried using OpenSSL to get certificate, error message on connect - 348:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:.\ssl\s23_lib.c:177: Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, David

move/delete page with symbols in URL
by josh bis 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi, Running MediaWiki 1.11, someone inadvertently (I hope) created a page with the monstrous name: Https://indecorp.ibe.netbooker.com/web/FrontController.nb4?module=PropertyS… I'd like to move or delete this to something less horrible, if only because it still shows up in the site directory -- for which I'm using the DynamicPageList extension. Even with the hex escapes, it seems immune to Special:MovePage; I can delete it, but the link still shows up in the directory. Just hiding it would be fine with me. Many thanks in advance, this is driving me crazy, . josh

mediawiki rewrites url and includes port in link
by Alex F 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Hello, I have the following setup: haproxy load balancer which listens on port 80 apache which listens on port 79 nginx which listens on port 81 When I access www.mysite.com/wiki haproxy automatically delivers the request to nginx. The problem is that the mediawiki scripts rewrite my URL from www.mysite.com/wiki/ to www.mysite.com:81/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page If I give the full link like so: www.mysite.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page it does work without showing up the port. I have tried to comment out the following line in index.php: $mediaWiki->initialize( $wgTitle, $wgArticle, $wgOut, $wgUser, $wgRequest ); and it no longer includes the port in the URL, but it also no longer displays content in pages. What can I do?

[mediawiki-l] Restoring wiki from xml-dump plus files in folder
by Gregor Hagedorn 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

We have an xml-dump and the folder structure of files (in their md5-derived, 2-folder levels) as backup and want to restore on a new server, current mediawiki version (1.18 alpha). We did ./maintenance/importDump.php ./maintenance/rebuildAll.php All went well, but mediawiki does not know about the files yet. I thought running ./maintenance/rebuildImages.php is the right thing to do, but it is undocumented and does not achieve anything. output is: Processing image... Finished image... 0 of 0 rows updated Processing oldimage... Finished oldimage... 0 of 0 rows updated Any hints how to restore the image to the wiki? thanks! Gregor

Trouble with MediaWiki:Common.css?
by Vidvei, Tor 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

I have set up a small MediaWiki site some months ago. I wanted to change the appearance of tables, and did the following: >From the english Wikipedia, I opened the page with the common style sheet (MediaWiki:Common.css), copied the content and pasted it into the corresponding page in "my" MediaWiki installation. However, after some minutes the entire site suddenly became completely inaccessible! Of course, I suspect the change of Common.css. But I might certainly have done other unintended changes. My questions: 1) Any proposals on how I can get access to the wiki again? 2) If not, are there any way I can "undo" the changes to Common.css when I have no access to the Wiki? (The wiki is installed on a webhotel (http://www.one.com). I have no shell access, but access via FTP and an administration panel for MySql. Hoping for an answer...

Hi, I'm trying to save a dead wiki (well, what's dead is the server) from a db dump. It was an old version (MW 1.10). After importing the dump the wiki works but with the page titles corrupted (accents and other special characters). After following this... http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Character_set ... to change from latin-1 to UTF-8; mysql give me an error when I try to import to a new database: ERROR 1071 (42000) at line 340: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes Well, I don't know what I can do to arrange that. Any idea? (please for dummies if possible, step by step :) thanks in advance - dvdgmz.
