Uploaded file size limits
by Stanislav Traykov 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hi, I'm trying to set up a wiki accepting large file uploads (up to 50MB) but for some reason I can't upload anything larger than ~8MB: after I click the upload button it waits a few seconds and just displays the empty upload form again. Does this sound like a MediaWiki problem? I'd be grateful for any hints.. Apache config: LimitRequestBody 0 (=unlimited) php.ini: upload_max_filesize = 50M LocalSettings.php: $wgUploadSizeWarning = 52428800 Thanks, Stanislav Traykov

Problem with ImageDump with Windows
by Sebastian Stabinger 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hi I just wanted to inform you, that it seems to be nearly impossible to extract the image dumps with Windows. Or at least I like to complain about it ;) The newest gnutar-version for cygwin seems to be 1.13 and it cant handle the archive. The link you gave the windows-users (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm) is rather useless because its not an utility but only a library. It would realy be nice if you could use another file format for the next dumps. By the way: I got the best results with bsdtar. At least this program did find all the files but they came out corrupt. Best regards, Sebastian Stabinger

It seems new datamodel scripts are required for each back-end database. Since it may not be possible to have 1 script in generic SQL that will work across all databases, has anyone considered maintaining the datamodel through a UML tool and then using various code-generator templates to generate appropriate SQL DDL per-database? One fringe-benefit of this approach would be the ability to visualize the current datamodel by exporting the UML digram into a graphic file. > > Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 23:18:00 +0100 > From: Kate <keturner(a)livejournal.com> > Subject: [Wikitech-l] Oracle support > To: mediawiki-l(a)mail.wikimedia.org, > wikitech-l(a)mail.wikimedia.org > > hi, > > for those interested, i have begun adding support > for Oracle database backend > to 1.5, in a separate branch. at present it's > somewhat usable (editing > mostly works), but many things are unimplemented or > broken. to check out a > copy of the source: > > >cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.defau.lt:/root login > (press enter for password) > >cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.defau.lt:/root co > -rORACLE_WORK phase3 > > there's no installer support, so you'll need to > create a LocalSettings.php > manually (easiest is to install it under MySQL and > copy the file). set > $wgDBserver to any non-empty string, $wgDBtype to > 'oracle' and $wgDBname to > your Oracle SID. run > "@maintenance/oracle/tables.sql" from SQLPlus to > import > the table definitions. to make a user into a sysop > after installation: > > SQL> CALL add_user_right('Username', 'sysop') > SQL> CALL add_user_right('Username', 'bureaucrat') > > please file bugs related to Oracle support in > bugzilla, blocking #652. > > kate. > > __________________________________ Yahoo!

Check /etc/php.ini, and the php.conf file under apache's configuration to make sure you are allowing larger uploads as well.

Oracle support
by Kate 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

hi, for those interested, i have begun adding support for Oracle database backend to 1.5, in a separate branch. at present it's somewhat usable (editing mostly works), but many things are unimplemented or broken. to check out a copy of the source: >cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.defau.lt:/root login (press enter for password) >cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.defau.lt:/root co -rORACLE_WORK phase3 there's no installer support, so you'll need to create a LocalSettings.php manually (easiest is to install it under MySQL and copy the file). set $wgDBserver to any non-empty string, $wgDBtype to 'oracle' and $wgDBname to your Oracle SID. run "@maintenance/oracle/tables.sql" from SQLPlus to import the table definitions. to make a user into a sysop after installation: SQL> CALL add_user_right('Username', 'sysop') SQL> CALL add_user_right('Username', 'bureaucrat') please file bugs related to Oracle support in bugzilla, blocking #652. kate.

full text search not working
by Rune H�jsgaard 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Hello all, Im having trouble with MediaWiki 1.4.6 full text search. If im searching for FooBarBas, it returns pages with FooBarBas, but if I search for FooBar*, I get no hits. None of the other MySQL Boolean Full-Text search operators work either (+, -, <, >, etc.). Im running it on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, Apache+mod_ssl 1.3.33+2.8.22, php4.3.11_1 and MySQL 4.1.12. I've also tried with MySQL 4.0.something. -MediaWiki: I've run maintenance/rebuildall.php and in LocalSettings.php I've set: $wgDBmysql4 = true; -MySQL: I've set the following in /etc/my.cnf (only changes, based on my-medium.cnf) [mysqld] ft_min_word_len=3 [isamchk] ft_min_word_len=3 [myisamchk] ft_min_word_len=3 Thanks, with regards, Rune Høsjgaard rune(a)hojsgaard.dk http://rune.iversen-net.dk

Announcing $wgExtensionCredits
by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Per the suggestion of Tim Starling I implemented a way for extensions to display their credits on Special:Version ( see it live at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Version ), to add your credits to the page just include the following in your extension: $wgExtensionCredits[$type][] = array( 'name' => 'Example extension', 'author' => 'Foo Barstein', 'url' => 'http://wwww.example.com/Example%20Extension/', ); Where $type is one of 'specialpage', 'parserhook', or 'other'. Happy hacking.

RE: Using Extensions within Templates
by Aerik Sylvan 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Stephen Betts said: "... each extension needs to be aware of what extensions have already been used..." Instead of what you're doing with putting variables in templates, now about making your extensions themselves more intelligent by using a static variable to log which extensions have been used? I am currently doing something like this to prevent an extension being used more than once. Best Regards, Aerik
