Hello everyone!
If I need to migrate a MediaWiki installation from one machien to another,
how do I go about that task?
In other words:
1) Is there an established procedure?
2) If so, where is it described?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Hi all,
the next release candidate for SMW1.0 is now available for download. It brings
mostly bugfixes to problems encountered with RC1, but also has some new
features. The major changes are:
* More liberal parsing for geographic coordinates, most user inputs accepted
now.
* Improved URL datatype: better linking behaviour, tolerant towards
Unicode-URLs.
* Significantly improved performance for RDF export.
* Complete translations for Fr, Zh-tw, and Zh-ch added (thanks to
Pierre Matringe and Roc Michael).
Cheers,
Markus

Hello,

I'm suddenly getting a lot of timeouts due to long SQL queries (> 30
seconds) in my MySQL logs:
# Time: 071105 15:43:31
# User@Host: wikiuser[wikiuser] @ localhost [127.0.0.1]
# Query_time: 51 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 0
Rows_examined: 0
DELETE /* MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery Danb */ FROM
`vpw_objectcache` WHERE exptime < '20071105204240';
What's this about?
It started happening shortly after a "mysqlcheck" of the database.
(Just a check, not a repair.)

Hello,
My Mediawiki got the SSO plugin to authenticate users. It's
configured to only allow READ to everybody and just a few people inside
the `contributor` group can edit pages.
I would like to know if there is a way to grant contributor access on
a specified of Wiki page at 2 extra people ?
Thanks by advance,
Johan

Hi,
I have a problem with coding.
What kind of coding do I have to use in MW if any changes are needed in .php
files?
I heard that I should save all .php files in UTF-8 (including
LocalSetting.php). In this case my MW sites have got wrong appearance and
for example Breadcrumbs extension does not work right.

Hi all,
I just made an interesting discovery: When I call my wiki from a browser
running on the actual server, the appearance is dependent on the adress I
use: If i call the wiki using localhost (htp://localhost/wiki/), the field
titles ("seite", "navigation", "suche", "werkzeuge") all begin with lower
case letters. When I call the wiki using the fully qualified domain name
(XXX.rockwellcollins.com/wiki/) all these titles begin with an uppercase
letter ("Seite", "Navigation" and so on).
Does this has something to do with mediawiki? And is this a bug or a
feature?

Does anyone have any idea why just the wiki is preventing local files
from being opened?

I read these, and as mentioned applied the suggested Firefox Add On
found at the link on
"http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don't
_Work".
My point is that I don't think it is this. As I mentioned in my follow
up post, I did cut out the link from the Wiki source and embed it in a
test HTM page and Firefox worked fine opening the local resource. It
seems that local links only fail to work in Wiki pages now. Why/how is
the Wiki limiting this functionality?

It's explained on the extension page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileProtocolLinks#Limitations
It's a security feature of Firefox. Web pages have nothing to do eith
your local files:
