Hi, MediaWiki has an Oracle install option, but there is no instruction as to how and to what extent it is supported. Does anybody in the mailing list use Oracle instead of MySQL ? Any help is appreciated.

It is not supported at all. It was experimental and has not been maintained.

No one uses it. If you or your organization is interested in maintaining this support or in contracting to have it maintained, let us know.
Realistically, of course, just install a MySQL server. It's not like you'll have to pay a hundred thousand dollars for a site license.

Quick question. My hosting provider, who I have been happy with for too many years, supports PHP5, but it's not the default. In order to invoke 5 I have to use a .php5 extension. Does this seem like it's going to be doable? Will I have to modify a lot of files or just a few? I'll muddle and find my own answers, but figured this will be quicker.

ps. I host with pair.com

I think that all you need is simply renaming index.php to index.php5 and setting $wgScriptPath or something like that :) MediaWiki has single 'entrance point', all other files are loaded by mediawiki, and should already use php5.
Of course, you might want to rename config/index.php to config/ index.php5 too.

Hello ! What Domas is exactly what I did for my wiki last week, and it worked.
I also renamed redirect.php to .php5, I don't know what it is used for.

Something that would probably be a cleaner solution is to determine how the web server calls php4 vs php5 and change those settings for your directory. But, there are a bunch of "if"s involved...
If the web server runs Apache, and If the directory AllowOverride directive is All, and If you can determine what Action processes PHP5 instead of PHP4, then
You can try something like this:
# grep php5 /etc/apache2/httpd.conf AddHandler php-script .php5 Action php-script /cgi-bin/php5
Then in .htaccess in your directoy, put
AddHandler php-script .php
Or, this:
# grep php5 /etc/apache2/httpd.conf AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
The in .htaccess, you can try:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Of, course, that all depends heavily on your environment.

It does run Apache, it handles PHP4 though a "module," I can use .htaccess (and do) files. Will have to spend more time with this to determine if this is the most elegant solution. I like the idea, since it allows me to not have to worry about changing extensions when I update to the next version.
