Hi, I have installed MediaWiki 1.1.0 on a Windows 2000 machine. Everything works well except for logins. After I login, I get the "login successful" message. Anytime I click to another page, the page still shows my IP address, and when I edit a page, the revision is associated with my IP address. I have tried both IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.3.1. By checking the the "Remember my password across sessions" upon login I can force logins to stick across pages. I have verified that the following three cookies are set for my site: -PHPSESSID -wikidbUserID -wikidbUserName Is there an extra configuration step I have missed? Thanks for your help! -Amy

1.1.0 install chokes: MySQL privilege problems?

by Calum Galleitch

I'm trying to install 1.1.0 on a SuSE 8.1 default install (PHP 4.3.1, MySQL 3.23.55, Apache 1.3.27). It creates the database, copies all (or lots of, anyway) the files, and then falls apart trying to do this: Query "GRANT ALL ON wikidb.* TO @'%' IDENTIFIED BY ''" failed. I understand SQL as well as I understand Latin (not very well). Assuming this means it needs more permissions, I've been trying to get it to access the database as root, and got no more joy. I'm also getting (when I try off the wall ideas) lots of 'can't modify headers, already sent them' type errors; I managed to find something in the archives that suggested killing extraneous characters before and after <?php ?> would help, but it doesn't seem to. Register globals is on, I think that's all the obvious things covered. Any bright ideas welcome :) Many thanks, C alum

Math Problems

by Andreas Schwarz

Hello, I installed Mediawiki 1.1.0, but there are no PNG images generated for math formulas. latex, dvips and convert are in the path and executable by the webserver, and the following paths are writable: $wgMathDirectory = "/var/www/wiki.mikrocontroller.net/upload/math"; $wgTmpDirectory = "/var/www/wiki.mikrocontroller.net/upload/tmp"; HTML formulas are displayed correctly, but no PNG image is created, both $wgMathDirectory and $wgTmpDirectory are empty. The following message appears in the Apache error log every time a formula is changed: This is dvips(k) 5.86e Copyright 2001 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2004.02.03:1832' -> <texc.pro>. [1] Any hints? Andreas

Troubles with MediaWiki namespace

by Timwi

Hello, I have been informed that this mailing list exists to discuss MediaWiki separate from Wikipedia. Thank you to Angela for pointing this out. So, I'll re-post my question here. I'm trying to use the MediaWiki namespace on my new installation of MediaWiki. Unfortunately, {{msg:Blah}} is being replaced by nothing (i.e. it is just being removed) even though [[MediaWiki:Blah]] does contain text. What might the cause of this be? Thanks for any help, Timwi
