work.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] No search results on MW 1.5 and frustrated - Any
helpvery much appreciated
Dear all,
I´m out of my depth really. I have installed MediaWiki 1.5 (hoping to
solve the problem I encountered with MW 1.4.9) but the problem is still
there: Entering any search term (yes, more than three letters) does not
provide any results at all, but the response is stupid: "There are 0
results, starting with #417511". (The displayed ## vary, though.)
The MW URL is
http://www.detroitinfo.de/wiki
PHP is run by my webhost in safe mode, but I have never read anywhere
that this would cause a problem with the search function (I´m aware that
the upload function will not work with the safe mode and am fine with
that).
I´ve been doing web search on this issue for many hours but came up
empty. Another MW admin sent me the following information which worked
for him:
Quote: The problem was having configured the rewrite rules in the wrong
way. Change the rewrite rules to use "path syntax" instead of
"parameter syntax":
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
RewriteRule .* - [F]
RewriteRule ^/wiki/?(.*)$ /mediawiki/index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
End Quote.
My understanding is that I would have to start rewrite with a .htaccess
file, but would I not have to modify the localsettings.php first to
accomodate this? Moreover, my installation directory is "/wiki" in my
server´s /html base directory, what modifications in syntax would I have
to make? I´m not even sure where, i.e. in which directory the .htaccess
file would need to be placed.
If that is not the cause, what else could it be? Certain chmod for a
directory? That would result in no search result page being displayed at
all, would it not?
I´m quite frustrated since I´ve been able to install the MW, get the SQL
database up and all the other stuff and now this darn search function
just won´t work. I don´t know about the inner works of PHP, MySQL and
stuff, so if there´s anyone who can give me a hand on this stupid
problem, I´d really appreciate any hint!
Thanks from Germany, regards
Chris
