Hello everyone,
I was careless enough to run a MediaWiki installation allowing people to
sign up without a moderator's approval. Hence a few hundred of them did
sign up and started to use the site to swap images.
How can I delete their accounts in the most expeditious way?
Thanks.
Boris.
Hi,
a little bit convoluted, I installed memcached onto our server, and yes, it
was already linked to local host only.
[root@ks389199 ~]# ps -ef | grep mem
nobody 1558 1 0 01:07 ? 00:00:00 memcached -m 64 -l
127.0.0.1 -p 11211 -d -u nobody
Which ties in with what wiki needs when told me. I then added the section
into LocalSettings.php the lines
$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED;
$wgParserCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; # optional
$wgMessageCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; # optional
$wgMemCachedServers = array( "127.0.0.1:11211" );
$wgSessionsInMemcached = true; # optional
Of this I have no issues, as everything is tied to local host.
But, as Apollo 13 stated... Hueston, we have a problem.
Deep sigh, new install at http://wiki.thesii.org/index.php/Main_Page gives
me Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection
without sending any data. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Phill.
Hi,

hey all. Thanks! The update appears OK, just a thing..
I have the LdapAuthentication extensions. I upgrade it to 1.2e
So, when I access the page, It tell me to Require Authentication. So, I click on the authenticate page and Its show me the page to login, but, I have some problems, look below:
Notice: Undefined index: wsDomain in /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/LdapAuthentication.php on line 457
Not just in line 457, but in anothers line like 456, 451, 673 and 669.
I read here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:LDAP_Authentication to define the $_SESSION['wsDomain'] . I tried this but didn't work...
If I refresh the page, the error above disappear.. but I want the wiki works fine :)
Anyone can help me with this issue?
Thanks again

Category of problem:
Extension PrefSwitch
Mediawiki Product Version
MediaWiki 1.18.1
PHP 5.3.3 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.0.51a-24+lenny5-log
PrefSwitch (Version 0.1.2)
$wgDefaultSkin = "vector";
Extension Installation instruction followed:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PrefSwitchhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Update.php
Problem met:
Although the extension is installed, and php restarted (locally with a terminal, and hosted via web process), the extension does not appear at all. Only the standard vector MediaWiki 1.18.1 edit tool is present when editing.
Question:
What should we do to make the editing tools menu used by mediawiki's wiki, appearing and working ? Isn't it PrefSwitch which should make this editing menu working ? Why the extension installation process really strictly followed of PrefSwitch does not work ? Should we install something else ?
Thanks for your help
Hello,
I would like to show more then the default of 50 category items on
page "Special:Categories". It would be nice, if I could change the
default paging size to a different value then 50, too.
TIA

Hi all,
I wrote a skin based on Vector. I only changed screen.css and things
concerning the logo.
Now I would like to use the Vector extension, specifically the
CollapsibleLeftNav feature. I installed it, but the navigation remains
uncollapsible. It does work when I switch to the Vector skin.
Though it says the extension will only work with the Vector skin, I
don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with my skin, since it is
only slightly different from Vector.
So how would I go about to enable this?
Here's my site with my skin as the default skin:

My company, Vistaprint, has been investing seriously in its internal MediaWiki systems for five years. I have a job opening on my team for a Senior Software Engineer with extensive LAMP and MediaWiki experience. This is a full-time position (no contractors, sorry) located in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. If you're interested, read on!
Our team specializes in software development, advanced template development, article management, and more. Our very active, internal wikis have over 100,000 articles, 2000+ users in a dozen worldwide offices, and multiple languages.
You'll work on practical problems in a business environment, which can be quite different from Internet wikis: not only creating new features, but also integrating with third-party systems and tools, automating manual processes, and measuring the results of your solutions. Our senior engineers also manage projects from start to finish and work with diverse teams throughout the company. (And we have other interesting responsibilities outside of MediaWiki.)
The ideal candidate has:
- Truly outstanding PHP and JavaScript (jQuery) skills
- Solid experience developing extensions/plugins for MediaWiki, WordPress, or a comparable PHP-based framework
- Excellent SQL database development skills
- Expertise as a Linux user, and some Linux admin experience (e.g., Apache and MySQL configuration)
- Project management experience, from initial idea to business requirements, functional spec, implementation, rollout, and post-mortem.
- Outstanding "people skills" and communication, both written and oral
Also, if you have any experience with technical writing or training, that is a plus.
I am the hiring manager for this position, so if you're interested, email your resume (and any questions) directly to me at dbarrett(a)vistaprint.com. Thanks.

Was this fixed or written about somewhere.? 16.0 having cookie issues.
IE 9 is holding partial session cookie. If I login in IE 9 then close the browser, then reopen browser mediawiki sees a partial cookie. I appear to be logged in, can edit, yet ip is logged not username. The top right user menu just shows log in. When I move to different pages, ip shows, edit is available, login link still showing.
Chrome doesn't do this. The session is still valid, not expired, but knows the username as it appears with preferences menu, watch list, etc. top right corner. Also edits show username.
I have not looked at how Firefox handles it yet, but IE is definitely not handling this correctly.
Yes I should at least update to 16.5 but the host is a pain to deal with and I would drop them like a rock if my choice.
Thanks
Tom
