wiki schema foreign keys
by Scott Cinnamond 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

Greetings; I want to reverse engineer the schema (tables.sql) which I've loaded into mysql. Is there also a script that creates all the foreign keys as specified in the http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mediawiki-database-schema.png document? Otherwise I can create them by hand. --thanks;

Database size ballooning?
by roger＠rogerchrisman.com 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, Our database quadrupled in size, from 220 MB in March to 933 MB in September, for a MediaWiki 1.20.2 that I host for a friend on a shared hosting account at Dathorn.com. I suspect something may be wrong because the wiki's content has not grown much at all in this same time. The wiki is Teflpedia.com. http://teflpedia.com/Special:Version shows: MediaWiki 1.20.2 PHP 5.3.27 (litespeed) MySQL 5.5.32-cll Anyone have a clue what may be causing our database to balloon, or tips what I should check? Thanks, Roger

Wiki editable only within local network
by massimo sandal 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi, I installed a small mediawiki on a Linux/Apache server for internal use on our university laboratory group. The wiki is fully readable both within and out of the university network. However when I try to edit it *outside* the university network, on saving the page it waits and then times out, like it couldn't properly connect. Using a VPN solves the problem, however I'd like to know if I can fix this issue since sometimes this would require me to switch between VPNs during work, which is annoying. What can I do to troubleshoot this issue? thanks, Massimo
