Hi,
Is there any review/rating extension that allows user to give reviews and to rate the quality of a book, a movie, a game, etc. ?
Thanks!

When I went to check on my Wiki this afternoon I was rather surprised to get this error message --
___________________________________ A database error has occurred Query: SELECT ug_group FROM `user_groups` WHERE ug_user = '1' Function: User::loadFromDatabase Error: 1017 Can't find file: 'user_groups.MYI' (errno: 2) (localhost)
Backtrace:
* GlobalFunctions.php line 451 calls wfbacktrace() * Database.php line 400 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace() * Database.php line 350 calls databasemysql::reportqueryerror() * Database.php line 726 calls databasemysql::query() * User.php line 693 calls databasemysql::select() * User.php line 623 calls user::loadfromdatabase() * Setup.php line 209 calls user::loadfromsession() * index.php line 63 calls require_once() ______________________________________
Note that going to the site without a cookie set gets you a different and less informative error (see http://wolfandturtle.net/Indigo).
As of this morning the Wiki was working fine and to the best of my knowledge nothing has been done to it today. The database appears to be fine, at least as far as I can tell with a quick glance, as does localsettings and all the rest, and I've reset the database users just in case (I use two to avoid problems). Also, other aps I host that use MySQL are running just fine.
The most likely explanation for my woes is my host upgraded something-or-other and lost/forgot/broke something (this "user_groups.MYI" file?!?). In case that assumption is wrong and someone here might have a clue I'm lacking, I figured I'd ask.
Versions - Wiki -- 1.5rc4 (The Day of the Dead version) MySQL -- Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.16 (The Killer of Wikis version) PHP -- 4.3.8 (The I Wish I was Ruby on Rails version)
If anyone knows anything about this 'user_groups.MYI' and why it, or the lack thereof, might have caused my Wiki to join the digital dead, please let me know.

$ perror 2 System error: 2 = No such file or directory
Either your filesystem is severely damaged or you have some other problem with your database host. (A .MYI file is an index file for a MySQL table.)
If you don't run the database server yourself, contact your system adminstrator and ask them to check for MySQL problems.

What have you tried on the database so far? Doing CHECK TABLES on all your tables would probably be worthwhile if you haven't.

Definitely ask the host...

Set $wgUseValidation in your LocalSettings.php
Then go to Special:Validation to set some topics and ranges which people can rate.
Note: That feature was never tested in a populated area ;-)

Hi,
If I want to upgrade my wiki from 1.4.9 to 1.5 stable, would I treat it as a standard upgrade within versions? I.e. would I just copy over the files and load up the wiki home page?
This information wasn't so clear in the documentation, so I thought I'd check in with the list.

If you download version 1.5 the upgrade procedure is clearly displayed in the UPGRADE file.
No you wouldn't treat it as a standard upgrade; the version has changed from 1.4 to 1.5, this means database changes.

There are some very major changes to the database schema between the 1.4 and 1.5 branches of MediaWiki. As has been recommended, check the upgrade notes, check any documentation lurking about on Meta (http://meta.wikimedia.org) and if in doubt, come into the #mediawiki channel (irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki) and ask.
As ever, back up both files and the entire MediaWiki database prior to taking any action whatsoever. It is apparently very easy to mess up this upgrade process, according to some reports.
