Failed: run MySQL on a different port
by Mucke, Tobias, FCIT-F2 04 Jan '14

04 Jan '14

Hi everybody, sorry I'm a little bit frustrated after the todays' evening. I tried to install Mediawiki 1.22.0. I succeeded with the installation for many other version before. But this time I failed. Here is how it went: the installer did not accept that I run my MySQL database on a different port. I'm quite sure that former versions of Mediawiki did. First of all I thought that the problem are missing privileges in the MySQL database but I could connect fine with mysql command line utility. For the installation my workaround was to use the default port. It just went fine as expected. After the installation I tried again to change the port number but with no success. Any ideas? Does anybody else experience this issue too? What else could I try out? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, Tobias

switch($X){case 'Y':trigger_error("can you believe \$X is NOT Y but Z"); }

In LocalSettings.php I put switch($wgSitename){case 'ABJ': trigger_error("can you believe \$wgSitename is $wgSitename and not ABJ?!",E_USER_WARNING);} For each HTTP GET, I see in /var/log/apache2/error.log: [Fri Jan 03 15:48:43.103883 2014] [:error] [pid 6608] [client 127.0.0.1:52043] PHP Warning: can you believe $wgSitename is ABJ and not ABJ?! in /home/jidanni/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php on line 28 PHP Warning: can you believe $wgSitename is 0 and not ABJ?! in /home/jidanni/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php on line 28 So there is apparently two runs going on per each one HTTP GET. But how in the world does it execution happen for the second run inside the case statement's ABJ switch if at the same time it is 0? Or is this some weird php/apache echoing?

Upgrade from 1.21.3 to 1.22.0 produces "Uncommitted DB writes"
by Daniel Barrett 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

I tried upgrading from 1.21.3 to 1.22.0 last night. It worked on one server (PHP 5.5.3 and mySQL 5.5.34) but not on the second one (PHP 5.3.27 and mySQL 5.1.68) with exactly the same codebase. There were no errors in the Apache error_log, but I'll describe the symptoms and maybe someone might have a theory what to try next...? On server #1, I deployed 1.22.0 and copied my /images and LocalSettings.php files from 1.21.3, then ran update.php. Everything worked. I copied the same files to server #2, ran update.php, and saw no errors. Then I hit the main page (whatever.com/wiki/Home) as an anonymous user. When the home page rendered, it had this error message printed at the bottom: Notice: Uncommitted DB writes (transaction from DatabaseBase::query (WikiPage::pageData)). in ...../w/includes/db/Database.php on line 3944 I clicked "Log In", and the home page just sat there. Running a "ps uax" I saw these processes: me 16283 0.5 1.0 160180 43948 ? S 23:45 0:00 /usr/bin/php /home/me/public_html/w/index.php me 16286 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

S 23:46 0:00 /usr/bin/php /home/me/public_html/w/index.php I checked the job queue with maintenance/showJobs.php, and there were 0 jobs. The processes were not exiting (my browser was still spinning), so I killed them by hand. Then I tried it again: restored the database back to 1.21.3, reinstalled the 1.22.0 update a second time, and reran update.php. The same problems occurred. That is all I know at the present time. Any tips appreciated. DanB

how does /images manage to hide its subdirectories?
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 03 Jan '14

$ w3m -dump http://abj.jidanni.org/images Index of /images Name Last modified Size Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parent Directory - README 27-Mar-2012 22:35 203 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only two items shown, the rest involve one knows the URL: $ w3m -dump http://abj.jidanni.org/images/abj Index of /images/abj Name Last modified Size Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parent Directory - 20061230.jpg ... So how is that hiding done? The relevant .htaccess doesn't seem to concern itself with this.
