OK, disregard question 1, I figured out that the user and password are supposed to be the user and password for MySQL, not the wiki. But question 2 stands... Thanks, Ron -- Ron Laufer From: gonzoron(a)hotmail.com To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: problems with dumpBackup.php and importDump.php, also SSI in MW Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:21:38 -0500 Hi, 1) I'm new to MW and having issues with dumpBackup.php and importDump.php. Both give me the same error: # php maintenance/dumpBackup.php --full X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11 Content-type: text/html DB connection error: Access denied for user 'Admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (localhost) I do have $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword set in AdminSettings.php. I believe they are set correctly, since I can login to the wiki with the same name and password. Any idea what else I might be doing wrong? 2) Is it possible to use SSI in MW without it being stripped out? I've tried commenting out the "removeHTMLcomments" function in Sanitizer.php, but the HTML comment with the SSI in it still doesn't show up when I view source on the wiki display page in my browser. Even if it did, since the page doesn't have an shtml extension, I'm fairly sure it won't work. Has anyone done this and can you talk a n00b through it? Ron -- Ron Laufer
