I have been at this for a while but just recently installed the Debianized versiion of Mediawiki from the Testing arena. I have been trying, with some assistence & information from the Debian package maintainer to get extensions to work that are not packaged with the Debian Mediawiki. I am not new to Debian or Linux but only about a year of practice with Mediawiki. I started off by installing the regular version from Wikimedia/Mediawiki. After some database issues, I decided (for ease of upgrades) to switch to the Debian version. All went well including an upgrade, until I started trying to add extensions to the wiki that were installed the "normal" way per the package maintainer. This is not working. My question is : Is there any one else one the list that might offer any tips??? frosty
