I've been trying to set up the Collection extension and my own render
farm so I can generate zim files from my wiki. So far no luck.
Here's where I am:
I followed this guide:
http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Mediawiki_collection_extension_installation
And I can create zim files from wikipedia using:
mw-zip -c :en -o test.zip Acdc Number
mw-render -c test.zip -o test.pdf -w zim
mw-zip works just as one would expect.
-------------------------
mw-zip -c :en -o test.zip Acdc Number
creating nuwiki in u'tmpuIdHyY/nuwiki'
2013-09-07T10:10:58 mwlib.utils.info >> fetching
'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Books/License&action=raw&templates=expand'
removing tmpdir u'tmpuIdHyY'
memory used: res=25.0 virt=816.4
--------------------------
I can read those files using kiwix, so I know my basic render farm setup
is solid.
The problem is that I cannot get it to work with anything other than
wikipedia.
If I try the URL in the guide:
------------------
mw-zip -c

-----------------
I can't even begin to work on the actual extension interface until I
have this working..... Any suggestions? Where do I go next?
Thanks!
