This must be quite simple, but i cannot find the right information. I would like to install images from my own uploads directory [[Image: image.jpg]], together with commons [[commons:Image:Image.jpg]] is that possible?

No problem. :) $wgSharedUpload<Blah> is what is used to make the magical Commons work, but as you'll notice, properly using it requires access to the database and to the file system. It's done using some black magic, replication (as is a lot of other load-relief), NFS and Squid caches for the image servers themselves. There were plans to write up and publish an InstantCommons feature which allowed third parties to use Commons media on their wikis; narfing the Commons image and keeping it in a local stash to avoid slamming Wikimedia's servers, and grabbing all the required metadata, but I haven't heard much on it for a little while. :( Erik Moeller might know more.

New subject: [Mediawiki-l] MySQL issue

Hello, This is a new issue that my Mediawiki appliance has hit. On the root console , I can see mysqld running - but the mediawiki main page displays this : -------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

That sounds much more as a problem with php/mysql that mediawiki. I remembered having that problem too, but it depends much on your distribution, selinux, firewall, etc etc Google the error http://www.google.com/search?q=mysql.sock and experiment a bit, it's quite frequent.

Looks like a space issue on the mediawiki appliance - I see the mounting of filesystems failing. MySQL server also fails at startup. While the console comes up fine, I cannot save the LocalSettings.php file ( as root ) - it fails with "unable to write in swap file , write error - file system full? ----- Original Message ---- From: Rob Church <robchur(a)gmail.com> To: Frank Kurupacheril <francis_anthony(a)sbcglobal.net>et>; MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l(a)wikimedia.org> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 6:27:29 AM Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] MySQL issue On 25/08/06, Frank Kurupacheril <francis_anthony(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote:

Hi, I just setup a new wiki. I want to have sections for different programming language articles (java, c, c# etc.). I did this by creating portals for each language : Portal:Java, Portal:Basic, etc. When I do a search I get checkboxes for: Search in namespaces: (Main) Talk User User talk ProgLang ProgLang talk Image Image talk MediaWiki MediaWiki talk Template Template talk Help Help talk Category Category talk How do I get rid of all these checkboxes and have checkboxes for each portal only?

To get the checkboxes, you may need to enable extra Namespaces, such as: Java:Parser C:blablabla etc etc, I'm afraid you cannot use # as a character for a namespace name. Then you will get checkboxes for every namespace you've created. Check it here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgExtraNamespaces Also this variable might help if you don't want to search in talk, etc $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault Good luck 2006/8/25, Yusuf Mohsinally <yusufm(a)hotmail.com>om>:

Thx. I'll look into it. I setup links on my site such as Portal:JavaLang, Portal:PascalLang, etc. Just so I could have these sections differentiated. Can I make these name spaces, or do I have to move them and any articles under them? Also, do I need to create categories for each language as well? I looked at the docs but it wasn't really clear to me what the use/differentiation between categories and namespaces were. Thanks.

To alter the defaults, see $wgDefaultUserOptions. To *remove* them will require some hacking of the search engine UI and the backend. Rob Church
