user "mediawiki" can connect to the database "wikidb" if he uses

psql -h dbsrv.example.com -U mediawiki -W wikidb
succeeds. Any idea where to look why this doesn't work??

Hi, this does sound stupid but because I am converting all my individual
websites to use a single set of MediaWiki software, I wonder whether it is
possible to standardize my namespaces. As it is, my chronology namespace,
say, is using namespace 104 in one website and namespace 108 in another. Is
it possible to change them all to say, 104, in order to standardize them?

MediaWiki should fail gracefully if it couldn't connect to the db.
A blank page would mean a PHP error (it should get an entry on its error
log). Not having changed any php file, maybe it is an
out-of-memory error.
I agree with Jim: the problem is due to the wrong PHP version...

Dear all,
MediaWiki version that I'm trying to install: 1.13.0
PHP 5.3.2
MySQL 5.1.41
URL: NO, the server is in a restricted LAN
I'm trying to install the mediawiki version compatible with the UCSC genome browser: 1.13.0. After installing successfully mediaWiki suite, I received the announce "Installation successful!", I moved the config/LocalSettings.php file to the parent directory ( .. ) and deleted the config directory and changed LocalSettings.php permission to 600. Then, I clicked on "the follow this link to your wiki." and the result is nothing: a blanck web page (http://localhost/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) in the browser. I found this error on apache log error files in /var/log/apache2:
[Thu Feb 17 15:23:26 2011] [error] [client 10.201.97.165] PHP Warning: Parameter 2 to Parser::parse() expected to be a reference, value given in /var/www/mediawiki/includes/StubObject.php on line 58, referer: http://bioinfold/wiki/config/index.php
[Thu Feb 17 15:23:26 2011] [error] [client 10.201.97.165] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getCacheTime() on a non-object in /var/www/mediawiki/includes/Article.php on line 3387, referer: http://bioinfold/wiki/config/index.php
I'm quite puzzled! Anyone has any idea? Any help will be very welcome!
Best regards,
Núria
Hello,
I have Upgraded wiki's to 1.16.0, and all works fine. However, I did a
fresh Install of 1.16.0, and I get an error when trying to create an
account. We are using Ldap, therefore, if I add the account via the
/etc/conf file for that wiki, the user can login.
This is the error that is displayed when I attempt to create an account:
*Login error*
There was either an authentication database error or you are not allowed
to update your external account.
Thanks.
Most of the time that means that PHP is not
communicating with the database. You may want to
check your database settings or see if MySQL is running

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie with mediawiki and before I rush into something
I'd appreciate some advice as to how practical this is.
I want to use mediawiki to hold a catalogue of electronic resources
(journals etc) that a library has access to. One page per resource. The
end user would be able to search through categories of resource and each
page would give the user a description of the resource, explanation of
how to use it etc. So far, completely normal wiki.
But I have additional data about each resource I would like to store in
each page (for example, configuration settings for a proxy server for
that particular resource). This data would not be visible to the
standard user, but would be entered by the same person entering the
visible text and would be visible to that person/group. The data would
be extracted by a bot at intervals to generate configuration files
directly or update an external database. Even better would be if the bot
could also populate the pages with some of this data.
Is this straightforward to do with mediawiki? I had a quick look at the
API and it doesn't look like it's really geared to extracting
user-defined chunks of data, but I could well be wrong. I don't mind
doing some coding (and obviously will have to do some for the bot) but
don't have a huge amount of time to spend on development. A pre-existing
plugin that does what I want would be nice!
Thanks for any advice

Hi all!
Wikimedia Germany is again organizing a hackathon in Berlin. It will be in May,
but we have not decided on the weekend yet. So, if you are interrested in
attending the event, please let us know on which dates you *can't* come. We are
especially interrested to know when people around the globe are tied up by exams
and such.
So, if you want to come, but might not be able to at some specific dates, drop a
note:
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2011#Straw_Poll>
Thanks,
and see you there!
