Local times not shown for Page "last edit" and history pages
by Al Johnson 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

The last edit time as well as the times on the history page are showing UTC instead of local times. Example, the bottom of a page will show: This page was last modified on 20 December 2012, at 16:12. when it was edited at 09:14-7:00 local time. Is there a setting or something? Thanks, Al

Problem installing v1.19.2
by Rowe, Dolores A 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Happy Holidays ! I am having trouble with the v1.19.2 installer. It is failing with the error below on a Windows 2008 server using PHP 5.2.17. PHP is installed, the MySQL extension is uncommented, the path to PHP is in the System Path, and the extension dll exists. I'm not sure what else to check, and I appreciate any ideas. In particular, does anyone know what line of code in MediaWiki does the driver checks ? What file is that in ? Maybe I could figure out exactly which command is causing it to croak and work from there. Here is the error: Could not find a suitable database driver! You need to install a database driver for PHP. The following database types are supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, IBM DB2. If you are on shared hosting, ask your hosting provider to install a suitable database driver. If you compiled PHP yourself, reconfigure it with a database client enabled, for example using ./configure --with-mysql. If you installed PHP from a Debian or Ubuntu package, then you also need install the php5-mysql module. Thank you so much, Lori

Images Not Showing Up
by Mills, Douglas 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

To whom it may concern, We recently migrated our MediaWiki server over to use IIS as opposed to XAMPP and the only issue that we're running into is with the images not appearing even after running the reimport script for the images. When looking at any given Wiki article, we see the filenames shown however the thumbnails and images aren't available. I suspect that this may be an issue with the MIME type configuration for IIS, however would like to be sure and if that is the case, how does one configure for the proper MIME type in IIS so that they show up. Thank You, Douglas E. Mills IT Administrator Notify Technology Corporation 330-702-3070 x189 dmills(a)notifycorp.com<mailto:dmills@notifycorp.com>

Loss of session data when using memcached
by Daniel Renfro 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Fellow MWers, I am seeing an issue on my enterprise wiki for internal documentation. Our private wiki is set-up to use Memcached along with APC. The users are complaining of getting this error when trying to preview a page: "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." Memcached is configured correctly and running, but I think that the PHP sessions that are being stored in it are getting invalidated somehow. I guess the session data in memcached is just as volatile as any other data in memcached, i.e. it is subject to being invalidated over time or being deleted to make room for other cached data. Is there a way I can pinpoint what is going on here? My wiki is running with the following configuration stats: MediaWiki 1.18.2 PHP 5.3.3 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.0.77-log Linux 2.6.18-274.17.1.el5 (CentOS 5) I have memcached configured with these settings: $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_MEMCACHED; $wgMemCachedServers = array( "127.0.0.1:11211" ); $wgSessionsInMemcached = true; Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers, -Daniel ( User:DanielRenfro )
