Hello to everyone. When I try to install MediaWiki on a WAMP server, I get
the following error messages when the tables are being created:
Creating tables... using MySQL 4 table defs...
*Warning*: fopen(../maintenance/tables.sql)
[function.fopen<http://localhost/mediawiki/config/function.fopen>]:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in *
C:\wamp\www\mediawiki\includes\Database.php* on line *1866*
*Notice*: Undefined variable: fname in *
C:\wamp\www\mediawiki\includes\Database.php* on line *1868*
Could not open ""
Does anyone knows how to solve this? I'm kind of new to web development and
I would really aprecciate your help.

Hi All,
Well, I'm new to MediaWiki ( previously using MoinMoin WiKi ) ... and
now using the latest 1.7.1 version ...
I'm trying to setup security and I cannot understand how to implement
this ... I've read many many docs over the internet and it seems that
this is not completely implemented right now.
Here are the questions I have :
- How can I affect users to a special group ? cannot see any
reference in the mysql "user" table ...
- How can I restrict access for reading/editing to pages or group of
pages for a specific user or group of user ?
Many thanks,
Best regards,
Arnaud.
Hello,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to let the inputbox create a
page on a specific location you have specified in advance?
Example:
1) The user types the text "SecondSubpage" into the inputbox and
pushes the create-button.
2) The page is created, NOT on
http://www.site.com/wiki/index.php/SecondSubpage BUT on
http://www.site.com/wiki/index.php/namespace:page/subpage/SecondSubpage.
Is this possible through the inputboxextension to specify that the
page "SecondSubpage" should be a subpage of "namespace:page/subpage"?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am using Mediawiki 1.6.7. When I use some of the extensions for example
calc
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Calc
There is message like this: UNIQ-calc-QINU. In fact there are some letters
and numbers between UNIQ and QINU, but just have ommitted them.
Only the last
<calc></calc> message is displayed properly (per page).
I found some info on these problems here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_extensions_FAQ#How_do_I_render_wik…
However am not sure how to change calc code to have it displayed properly -
anyone could help?
thx

Like me who would like to download the wikis for offline reading in
a non-offending manner. The graph XML seems to be even better than
the Allpages in machine readable form (which I suggested a while ago).
But could Special:GraphStructure be ever a default feature?
How badly it behaves with large wikis?
I guess the GraphStructure gives a better meta-access to the document
than Allpages because the graph can preserve the document hierarchy.

We're looking at implementing Mediawiki and would like
to extend its core database functionality to
capture/report some other data elements. (eg Name,
NAIC, state/country, etc.)
After looking through the various MW source
documentation/reference sites, it appears the most
straightforward approach would be to merely add
appropriate custom special pages as needed (eg data
input/validation & reporting).
Our objective is to eliminate any changes to the base
MW PHP code/MySQL tables so that we can upgrade as new
releases are made available. It seems the way to do
this is to maintain separate custom pages, PHP
functions & MySQL tables and write a few extensions
that link our code to the base MW code to perform the
functions as needed.
Does this seem like the right approach? That is, is
this way everyone else does it and I'm just asking a
real obvious question? If so, can anyone point me to
some various examples? I've looked through the
different MW APIs/hooks/extensions, but haven't really
seen anything as described above.

I'm the sysop of a small MediaWiki site (ghanawiki.info), and I'd
like to receive an email notification of any page edit. (A daily
digest is fine.)
Looking at my preferences page, I see that "Email me on page changes"
is enabled, but that's not happening. There was an edit by an
anonymous user a couple weeks ago, but I never got an email about it.
I don't think I ever configured an SMTP server for use by this wiki;
does that need to be done first, and if so, how? I tried to find some
documentation on this but didn't have much luck.
Thanks,
Trevor
Hi:
I am Yandry Perez from Cuba, sorry for this silly question but I am new to MediaWiki and PHP and I can't get this extension to work.
1. I copied inputbox.php to mediawiki/extensions
2. I put the line require_once('extensions/inputbox.php') in LocalSettings.php
Where should I put:
<inputbox>
type=create
</inputbox>
and it's actually what I have to? I think I am absolutely wrong... Please correct me!
best regards,
Yandry.
I noticed that MediaWiki enables PHP's zlib output compression, so that
all pages served by MediaWiki are delivered compressed (if the client's
browser supports it):
## Compress output if the browser supports it
# if( !ini_get( 'zlib.output_compression' ) ) @ob_start(
'ob_gzhandler' );
This has a side effect that in Apache's log, the compression ratio is
not shown (at least in Apache 2.2.3 / PHP 5.1.6):
"GET /wiki/index.php/Test2 HTTP/1.1" -/- (-%)
When we disable zlib output compression in MediaWiki, the content is
compressed by Apache, and the ratio is shown:
"GET /wiki/index.php/Test2 HTTP/1.1" 2509/8500 (29%)
What are the advantages of using PHP's zlib compression in MediaWiki?
I like having the ratio in the logs so I'm keen to disable it - but
maybe there's something I'm not aware of?

Hi,
For some reason when I upload a very large file (15MB +) on a private
wiki, it doesn't work, but returns no error (neither on the Wiki or in
the Apache logs). It just brings me back to the upload screen as if
nothing had occurred. Nothing is shown in the upload log.
I thought it might be a php.ini issue, but it isn't. (as I've had
fatal errors returned in the past - but I incremented both the upload
limit and the memory limit accordingly)
Has anyone experienced similar behavior?
