AW: [Mediawiki-l] Are there any restrictions for a MediaWiki runningon MS IIS?

Thu Dec 15 09:28:36 UTC 2005

Thanks for your time, but I've solved the Problem with reinstalling the Wiki on an Apache Server.

But I've followed the instructions.
With doesn't react anymore i ment, that the browser is trying to load the next page (after hit "save") and will never get any page. Not even after a nighttime!
I suppose, that the problem was based on the codepages used by the IIS.
If I created an article using SQL, I was able to  use the special characters, but Wiki had shown me funny ones instead.
If I created an article using the Wiki, the article was saved in the database, but instead of the special characters there where funny ones (e.g. ü=>³).
So it seams to me, that the Database can use this characters, and Wiki can it also, but the IIS can't.

When you say, "wiki doesn't react any more", can you elaborate on
that, since it could mean a number of things. What happens to make you
say that?

The characters look peculiar due to character set issues, I would
image, but they should be stored without any problems. When you
upgraded, did you follow the instructions in the upgrade document?

On the subject of upgrades; can you be specific about what problems
occur under which version of MediaWiki? Also, have you *ever* had this
wiki running - i.e. did these issues start after upgrading to 1.5.1,
or have you always had this issue?
