Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Problems upgrading
I am attempting to upgrade from v1.5.4 to 1.6.8.
I have PHP 5.1.2 (apache2handler) and MySQL 4.0.18.
I followed the instructions at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.6 and

Backed everything up
Unpacked the new files into the existing directory
Attempted to run the update script, at which point I received an error:

"Specified key was too long. Max key length is 500 (localhost)"
I notice that Terry Poperszky posted this same issue to this list 4/28/06
with no reply. Same with Thomas Klein on 1/24/06.
I found that Brion answered this on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows#Specif
ied_key_was_too_long.3B back late last year with the following
suggestion:

Run MySQL 4.0, or set default MySQL charset to latin1 instead of utf-8,

or
install 1.5beta. --brion 08:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Another option is to alter the database you want to use to use the

latin1
default charset: ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1;
Since I am already running MySQL 4.0, so that solution won't work.
Should I attempt to alter the database to use latin1? If so, where and
how
do I make that change? Will that affect just that database, or any
others?
Will that change affect only the database that the update script is
attempting to create, or will it affect the existing one?
Thank you, and sorry for the novice questions,
Tim Doyle

I've written an extension that might be useful for someone as it is for
me.
It provides flexible access management for custom namespaces by using
separate permissions for each action (read,edit,create,move) on
articles in each custom namespace.
See details on

Comments and suggestions are very welcome.

after upgrading to 1.6.5 I noticed that my dutch links to ISBN resources
no longer exist on special:Booksources. I must have edited Language.php
in the past. According to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ISBN the
links in language.php are just a fallback option if special:Booksources
does not exist.
Now, when i alter special:Booksources to include alternate links, the
page does not handle the MAGICNUMBER string. Links to additional
resources do show up, but the word MAGICNUMBER has not been replaced by
the given ISBN number.
any solutions?
I would prefer a solution that would still work after updateing the
software.
thanks in advance

What do you mean by that? Do you mean you personally took part of our
code, made
a PEAR package out of it, and included a second copy on your system in
the wrong
place?
Or something else?

Bonjour Jacqueline,
The problem comes from UtfNormalUtil.php :) It exists both as a PEAR
package and as MediaWiki file but the PEAR path (/usr/share/pear/) is
most probably before our paths.
The easiest way is probably to add /usr/share/pear/ to the open_basedir
restriction. I am not sure why it is used though, as we are supposed to
override the include path in localsettings.php:

if( defined( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) ) {
     $IP = MW_INSTALL_PATH;
} else {
     $IP = dirname( __FILE__ );
}
$path = array( $IP, "$IP/includes", "$IP/languages" );
set_include_path( implode( PATH_SEPARATOR, $path ) );

Nein, es gibt leider keine M?glichkeit ohne einen kundenspezifische

are you sure it is the right php.ini ? there isn't any open_basedir
restriction in your configuration.
; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined
directory
; and below.  This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file.
;
;open_basedir =
Please. Can you explain better ?
What type of setting i need to use in php.to disable the "open base dir
restriction" error  ?
With MW 1,7.1. I have put now in php.ini the setting :
include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear"
include_path = ".:.:"
But the problem is not corrected.
Have you a different setting for php.ini ?

include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear"

That is a lovely page that is clear and helpful with good links to
alternatives.  If I were interested in such restrictions (and I'm not),
I'd definitely give that a serious look.  Thanks for that--documentation
is too often neglected.

Hi all
I am running a mediaWIKI multilingual setup and have some problems with
renaming some action tabs of MediaWIKI.
If I change the entry for 'nstab-main' in languages/Messages.php (which
seems to be the default file for english) to another value, this changed
value should be in the action tab instead of "Article" - but it is not
visible. Also if I change it in the other language files e.g.
languages/MessagesDe.php for german, there is no change. I also tried to
purge the pages and clear the page cache, but without success.
So my question is: Are these messages cached somewhere else?
Thanks for any hints in advance.
