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?
