Why do I have to restore a database backup?
I repeat my previous issue, this message appears in 2 special pages ( http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro/wiki/Special:Lonelypagesand, http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro/wiki/Special:Deadendpageshttp://enciclopediaromaniei.ro/wiki/Special:Deadendpages. ):
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden) from within function "". MySQL returned error "1104: The SELECT would examine more than MAX_JOIN_SIZE rows; check your WHERE and use SET SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 or SET SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE=# if the SELECT is okay (localhost)".
Except for those 2 special pages, the entire mediawiki site works well.
Thanks, Mihai

Hello, Do you happen to know the present URL of the site http://www.britannica.com/bps/home mentioned in the article "Encyclopaedia Britannica To Follow Modified Wikipedia Model" ( http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2008/06/ency/) ?
Shall I post question to a different list?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion

Hi, PM Poon,
2009/7/10 Ekompute .info ekompute@gmail.com:
Thank you Jim, for taking the trouble to show me the relevant page. Even
my
Firefox has problems. The pages in the main namespace looks okay but not
in
the other name spaces like Mediawiki and Template, for example. I guess
my
skin really do need a complete overhaul, although I have done three different versions.
Did you base your skin on Monobook? In that case, perhaps the explanation I give on [1] can help you find out where the problem lies. The page also has references to wikimedia and other theme/skinning related sites.
There is some weird sizing happening on your site when using IE (widening the screen will only increase the width of the page even more, adding a scrollbar and stretching the content apart...). The top menu also doesn't show in IE (it is projected on top of the main navigation portlet.

Hi Jean-Marc, thank you for your response. I did follow your advice and managed to learn a thing or two. However, I still have some problems as sometimes when I changed certain things, other things move "without" apparent reason. Anyway, I tried many configurations and managed to "solve" the login page problem, as you can see at this pagehttp://dummipedia.org/Special:UserLogin, using IE6. I still don't understand why this particular version works, LOL. However, the red links are not showing in the p-cactions bar (2nd bar below logo, right at the top) although it works for the personal toolbar:
a.new, #p-personal a.new, #p-cactions a.new { color: #ba0000; }
Both bars are defined by the above statements, so it is rather surprising that one works and not the other. I would be glad if you or anyone can assist me as there is no way at the moment for me, or anyone for that matter, to know whether the pages are empty.

Using FF WebDeveloper plugin shows that the .new is applied to the
<li>, not to the <a>, therefor the css selection is not done. For example, hovering on the Video tab on the main page gives

Hi Jean-Marc, thank you once again for your response and for taking the trouble to help me out. I have checked my main.css but could not find the problem that you mentioned. I have posted the contents of the main.css at Dummipedia.com http://dummipedia.com/MediaWiki:Main.css and will be glad if you can help me pinpoint the problem.

Hi, I have an error on my own wiki http://enciclopediaromaniei.ro.

Oh dear... guess you need to restore a copy of your database backup. The webhost is not responsible, so there is practically nothing much you can say to them. If you don't have a copy, check with them as fast as possible as they may have a temporary backup which is replaced daily. If you wait too long, they may have replaced their backup with the latest corrupted copy.

On most cPanel servers the server makes a daily, weekly and monthly backup. If you're on a cpanel server ask them to replace first the daily copy and if that doesn't work the weekly and so on.

Hi Henny Savenije, I think the practice differs from webhost to webhost. I was once asked to pay US$28.75 to restore a backup (without guarantee) by my previous webhost, Siteground. Apparently, they kept 2 daily backups at any one time. The two backups turned out to be corrupted and yet, they said I still have to pay.
