How to build mwsearch under windows XP?
by Markus.Herb＠de.TRUMPF.com 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi, i've allready asked the following questions. But the topic of the other thread doesn't fit anymore. I've downloaded the nightly tarball since my company's firewall doesn't allow me to use a CVS client. I found out that the sourcefiles had added a ",v" to each extension like cs,v and also contained some versioning info. So I renamed them and deleted the versioning info. I have also searched for the libraries and copied them into \wikipedia\mwsearch\libs\ I've downloaded and installed mono. But now I don't know how to compile it. The sources ought to be builded with monodevelop. Since I'm using Windows XP, I don't know how to proceed. I've also a MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 available, if this helps. Any help how to compile the necessary dlls and exes is very welcome. I really want this Wikipedia search engine up and running. Greetings Markus

Hi, we would like to elect something similar to ArbCom on cs: wiki using the same voting software which was used in en: ArbCom elections. I'm wondering how to do that. Thanks Jan Kulveit ([[User:Wikimol]])

Hi Brion, thank you for your fast answer. where do i get the c# version of lucene search? Does WikiPedia also use this c# version? Why is WikiPedia using version 1.6alpha of the mediawiki engine? Where can this engine version be obtained? Sorry for the many questions ;-) Greetings Markus

Dear wiki friends, I am running a media wiki with the following versions: * MediaWiki <http://www.mediawiki.org/> : 1.5rc4 * PHP <http://www.php.net/> : 5.0.4 (apache2handler) * MySQL <http://www.mysql.com/> : 4.1.13-nt * Extensions: * Special pages: * LuceneSearch by Kate Turner and Brion Vibber * Extension functions: * wfLuceneSearch and syntaxSetup I've downloaded lucene search via cvs and compiled it. when I start the indexer with the following command: C:\apachefriends\xampp\lucene>java -Djdbc.drivers=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver org.wiki media.lsearch.MWSearch -rebuild dewiki I receive the following error message: "26.09.2005 09:23:15 org.wikimedia.lsearch.SearchState <init> INFO: dewiki using analyzer org.apache.lucene.analysis.de.GermanAnalyzer 26.09.2005 09:23:16 org.wikimedia.lsearch.SearchState initializeIndex INFO: Creating new index for dewiki dewiki: running full update... 26.09.2005 09:23:16 org.wikimedia.lsearch.MWSearch main WARNUNG: [dewiki] Error starting query: SQL error: Syntax error or access violat ion message from server: "Key column 'page_timestamp' doesn't exist in table" java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error or access violation message from server: "Ke y column 'page_timestamp' doesn't exist in table" at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:1997) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sendCommand(MysqlIO.java:1167) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sqlQueryDirect(MysqlIO.java:1278) at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.execSQL(Connection.java:2251) at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeQuery(PreparedStatement.java:158 6) at org.wikimedia.lsearch.SearchState.enumerateArticles(SearchState.java:279 ) at org.wikimedia.lsearch.MWSearch.main(MWSearch.java:115)" I assume the database structure doesn't match to what lucene search expects.

Any usage stat?
by Jakob Voss 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

Hi! A few days ago there was a usage stat at http://www2.knams.wikimedia.org/logwood/logwood.php?site=en.wikipedia.org where you could get a list of the top 100 most viewed wikipedia articles (a lot of sexual related articles but also other stuff). Unfourtunately I have not saved this page - does anyone have a copy or can you please switch it on again? I just need a list and a date so I can cite it in my paper and compare it it with the most edited articles. Thanks a lot, Jakob
