there was an incident with postfix mail delivery software (some corrupted spool files crashed queue manager), therefore you all poor souls had to suffer mailing list withdrawal. Seems to be working lately.

Hello, new around here, so if I'm posting to the wrong place, sorry.
How hard do you think it would be to get mediawiki to work with mysql 5 on a BSD 5 system? I tried to install it but did not get very far, any help that can be provided would be great. I don't know PHP (actually, I have been looking for an excuse to learn), but I was able to track my issue down to this block of code in the file : /usr/local/www/data-dist/mediawiki/maintenance/convertLinks.inc
print "here a\n"; $res = wfQuery( "SELECT l_from FROM links LIMIT 1", DB_READ ); if ( mysql_field_type( $res, 0 ) == "int" ) { print "Schema already converted\n"; return; } print "here b\n";
the print here statements are mine. The output is as follows.
# PHP 5.0.3: the MonoBook skin will be disabled due to an incompatibility between the PHPTAL template library and PHP 5. The wiki should function normally, but with the older look and feel. # PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) # Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. # PHP's memory_limit is 8M.

Please read the section in RELEASE-NOTES about MySQL 4.1.
Note also that MySQL 5.0 is an early beta version; you should not be using it unless you're deliberately testing bleeding-edge code.

Well, I installed version 4.1 and was able to get up and running. I would have to say, this is one of the nicest apps I have ever installed (once I stopped using alpha grad software that is).
Thanks for the help.

Also, it looks like you're using MediaWiki 1.3.x. 1.4 has been released, and now supports the MonoBook skin when using PHP 5.
