Hi everyone,
I am quite new to Wikipedia and wanted to set up a testing server for
our student organisation using the PHP script. I know some PHP and
MySQL, but don't have experiance with a CVS.
To get a snapshot of the project I used the command "cvs -d
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.wikipedia.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wikipedia
checkout phpwiki/newcodebase" as stated here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3APhase_III_Software (at the
bottom of the page).
After uploading everything on the server and adjusting LocalSettings.php
I copied all the files of the maintenance dir to the others and ran
createdb.php. Everything seemed to work fine and the tables were
installed. I tried to edit the Startpage and got the following error
message:
"A database query syntax error has occurred. This could be because of an
illegal search query (see Searching Wikipedia), or it may indicate a bug
in the software. The last attempted database query was:
INSERT INTO cur
(cur_namespace,cur_title,cur_text,cur_comment,cur_user,cur_timestamp,cur_minor_edit,cur_counter,cur_restrictions,cur_user_text,cur_is_redirect,cur_is_new,cur_random,inverse_timestamp)
VALUES (0,'Hauptseite', 'test', '', '0',
'20030217212253', 0, 0, '',
'192.168.68.1', 0, 1, RAND(), '79969782787746')
from within function "Article::insertNewArticle". MySQL returned error
"1054: Unknown column 'cur_random' in 'field list'"."
After checking the tables I found out that the row cur_random does not
exist. I checked the buildtables.inc in the maintenance dir and found
out that there is no cur_random field set up during db creation.
Is it possible to download a kind of stable version of wikipedia via CVS?
Thanks for your help
Thomas
PS: The layout looks a little bit weird with Mozilla and I am unable to
access the top items (drop down menu, talk, log in), is that normal?
