[00:44:42] So here it is again. I uploaded a wiki SQL backup and all my pages are missing their content. [00:44:48] How do I fix this? [00:45:02] Justic: did you load the mysql dump into the db? [00:45:21] with something like "mysql -u username -p databasename < backupfile.sql" ? [00:45:36] I used the cpanel backup feature to download a backup of the SQL awhile back and then the same to restore it [00:46:54] hmm... i don't know much about cpanel... but do you know if you're running the same version of MediaWiki now that you were when you created the backup? [00:47:32] Yes [00:47:57] What we did was transfered the physical files to a new server by copying them, then remote linked to the SQL and loaded the backup [00:48:33] The look of the wiki is fine, and all the pages show as existing, just missing their content [00:49:05] Justic: do u have a link? [00:49:30] www.alpha-fleet.com/wiki [00:50:00] I have a guess.. .but let me poke around [00:50:11] ok [00:50:59] neat wiki [00:51:00] anyway... [00:51:25] my guess is that the backup had a problem with the character sets during the export/import process [00:51:50] Justic: if you do a query to count the number of rows in the "text" (or "wiki_text" or whatever you call it) table, is that significantly less on the new database than the old one? [00:52:27] It looks to be the same. [00:52:40] that's a bit surprising :( [00:52:41] hmm [00:52:53] Should I try this? $wgDBmysql5 = false; and setting it to true? [00:53:14] One sec it may be a bit off [00:53:38] naw, that's supposed to be false [00:53:52] strangely [00:54:35] Yeah its a bit off [00:54:46] Should I try to dump the text and reupload? [00:55:01] ermm... worth a shot, but wait for one sec [00:55:22] there is a known weirdness with charsets... [00:55:28] can you control the charset of the backup? [00:55:38] Don't think so [00:55:41] oomph [00:55:50] The backup was emailed to me as a sql.gz [00:55:54] ah [00:55:55] I can extract it and edit it [00:55:56] hm [00:56:04] it's pretty hard at that point [00:56:10] do you have SSH access to the original server? [00:56:15] or "terminal" access? [00:56:27] I'm in the control panel phpmyadmin [00:56:43] i'm not too familiar with that either [00:56:44] hmm [00:57:11] basically a really good way to back up a MediaWiki wiki is to use these commands: [00:57:31] ( hmmm... synergy won't let me copy/paste from that computer :( ) [00:57:36] typing time... [00:58:36] nice -n 19 mysqldump -u $dbUser -p$dbPass -h $dbHost --default-character-set=latin1 $dbName | nice -n 19 gzip -9 > $fileName [00:58:42] but the important part is the: [00:58:57] mysqldump -u $dbUser -p$dbPass -h $dbHost --default-character-set=latin1 $dbName > $fileName [00:59:08] does that look like the kind of thing you can type into the panel you have? [00:59:26] (without the $variables... you have to replace those with the appropriate values) [00:59:49] ... I'm probably just confusing you :( this probably isn't something PHPmyadmin lets you do [01:03:22] When images are deleted from the wiki, the /images/deleted/[x]/[x]/[x] directories are not being created with write-permission (so deletes don't work if they need to write into this directory)...

[01:52:22] depends how you got them [01:52:31] I'm researching about Mediawiki history, trying to figure out when the "Discussion tab" was included to the software... [01:52:40] Is size signed or unsigned? for instance would a content removal of 50 bytes and a content addition of 50 bytes both return "50" or would one return "-50" and the other "50"? [01:52:53] for that, I'm looking at the different release note but I haven'tt find it until now [01:53:14] goldjia2, you miht want to check in #aboutus with Ward Cunningham. [01:53:21] Does anyone here as an idea of the approximate date / version when the discussion tab was included ? [01:53:27] Way back in the begining, goldjia2 -- I believe CamelCase had discussion pages [01:53:27] He would know about know a lot of the history of the talk tab. [01:53:28] :) [01:53:30] ucprop has no 'size', so you'd have to re-query each ID [01:53:47] Ok then [01:55:45] you can batch them in 50, eg: http://test.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=size|comment&revids=74122|74121|74120|74119|74118|74117 [01:55:46] well, in Usemod for ex, you can create discussion page, but it's not a by default fonction, not a visible tab [01:55:51] MZMcBride; size: 4000 bytes [01:56:03] but I'll ask on #aboutus [01:56:30] and the size there is the total revision size, not +-, you'd have to compare that to the previous revision to get the delta [01:56:30] thank you for the suggestion [02:00:38] Thanks, Splarka, but I'm trying to match the size of each edit up with the pageid [02:01:09] wat [02:01:26] I'm trying to find pages that I've substantially contributed to -- wikidashboard stopped back in early 2008, so I can't use it to see which pages I've made the most edits on [02:01:50] Err. [02:01:54] And since I try to make all the revisions that I plan on making to a page in one swoop, I think the change in page size would likely give me a better indicator [02:02:03] That's silly.

[03:34:44] It's a bot, yes. [03:35:25] Does it trigger that off every half hour or something? [03:35:53] A few seconds after a bug change is made. [03:35:59] It parses the mailing list.

Because nothing on that link it keeps giving seems to be changing [03:38:54] see 'view bug activity' at the bottom [03:39:32] The bot kinda sucks. [03:39:41] Like, the one at :30 was +comment. [03:39:46] Same with :32. [03:40:28] it's hard for me to see what is strange about it... [03:41:02] I guess it's hard to see the obvious consequences of your own code as strange [03:42:40] Well, if someone adds a comment, it should say +comment when it reports. [03:42:46] Which it does, just irregularly. [03:43:06] Like, my comment at :11 has "+comment", but FT2's don't. [03:43:28] It also uses the part of the e-mail address in parentheses rather than the Bugzilla name, which is really strange. [03:49:33] and sometimes it shows (mod) when it should show DUP, even without +comment [04:03:55] (I hope this is an ok place to ask) I was trying to make a template that uses a parser function to transclude another template based on a parameter passed to it (simplified version of template would be {{some page/{{{{{#expr: some expr}}}}}}} and is called as {{template|page1|page2}}. which transcludes either Some_Page/page1 or Some_Page/page2 depending on the #expr. )Is this possible to do?

[08:45:09] Nikerabbit: yes [08:45:44] ouch [08:46:02] some of the changes are not so important, like changing varchar columns to varbinary [08:46:18] I'm thinking that we could offer to do these changes as a separate maintenance script [08:46:36] I wonder how it would look for translatewiki.net, it's been running from trunk for a long time [08:46:49] timstarling: column order isn't important either [08:47:06] no [08:47:19] I figured upgradeTest.py needed something like this [08:47:24] well, probably important for SQL portability [08:47:31] because previously all it was testing for was fatal PHP errors in the install scripts [08:55:25] domas: remember when we were speaking about dba, which backend is good? [08:57:04] - `il_from` varchar(255) character set latin1 collate latin1_bin NOT NULL default '', [08:57:04] + `il_from` int(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', [08:57:10] that one's kind of nasty [08:57:30] haven't we had bug reports about that?

[10:49:39] i found http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation/Creating_system_accounts, but it grants all privileges on the database, is that actually required or is there a stricter set of privileges i can use?

[10:54:45] why can't the person who is going to work on it make the branch? [10:54:58] flyingparchment: because Brion hasn't updated my new ssh key yet [10:55:09] then if you can't commit, why do you need a branch? [10:55:35] all of a sudden, images are no longer being displayed in pages (i.e. those uploaded to the Wiki, referenced by [[File:...]]). Any reason why this should happen? [10:56:10] flyingparchment: because I'll be working on it once I have access again [10:56:23] so wait till then and create the branch [11:05:49] Emachman: can't you just checkout /extensions/CheckUser and start working, and then create the branch and svn switch later?

[11:13:00] just what the world needs, more work on CheckUser [11:17:02] =) [11:36:37] hm. should GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE ON wiki.* TO wikiuser@localhost; be enough for MediaWiki, or does it need something else? [11:37:02] (fiddling with a web hosting company..) [11:38:08] ah wait i found http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki#MySQL [11:39:09] the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Citation&oldid=289364326 says Citation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia [11:39:14] where does it get it from ? [11:41:55] GerardM-: gets what? [11:42:24] the text "Citation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia" is shown as a text in the tab [11:42:38] is LOCK TABLES strictly necessary? [11:44:50] GerardM-: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%22the+free+encyclopedia%22&ns8=1&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=Search&fulltext=Search [11:48:03] right .. where is SITENAME defined ? [11:55:24] GerardM-: it's given when a wiki is created [11:56:00] can it be changed ? [11:57:41] not recommended [12:01:53] Is this a known error with watchlists? [12:01:54] Fatal error: Cannot pass parameter 5 by reference in /home/yourwiki/htdocs/html/w/includes/specials/SpecialWatchlist.php on line 225 [12:02:32] chuck: all known errors should be be fixed :o [12:02:39] chuck: which version? [12:02:46] of mediawiki and php [12:03:12] r48811 or whatever wikimedia is at, and PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny3 [12:03:33] huh [12:04:29] just wondering why you are runningg the same version [12:04:46] Which version *should* I be running? [12:05:13] depends on what you want [12:05:25] can you paste that line to be sure I am looking correct version [12:05:45] Well what's the latest stable version? [12:05:45] ChangeTags::modifyDisplayQuery( $tables, $fields, $conds, $join_conds, '' ); [12:06:27] hmm [12:07:46] the topic says [12:07:51] 03(mod) Syntax for stripping HTML and wiki markup - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8161 +comment (10Blindwanderer) [12:08:36] 03(mod) Dump the article titles lists (all-titles-in-ns0.gz) every day - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13693 (10Wiki.Melancholie) [12:08:38] chuck: can you try latest version? [12:08:48] So do I have to switch to that tag or something? [12:09:16] chuck: because looks like your files are in inconsistent state [12:10:42] all files in my installation are completely untouched except for StartProfiler [12:10:55] chuck: did you do svn checkout? [12:11:12] Oh, actually we're at r49026 [12:11:19] sorry, I forgot that someone svn upped to there [12:11:27] Nikerabbit: yeah, it's an svn working copy [12:11:44] Wikimedia is not at 48811 [12:12:11] What is it at, then? [12:12:12] chuck: of trunk? what is the url in svn info [12:12:15] you'd be better off switching to REL1_15 for now [12:12:37] Nikerabbit: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3 [12:12:56] it's on a very heavily patched copy of r48811 which is most similar to the current contents of REL1_15 [12:13:22] Where is REL1_15? I don't see it in /tags [12:13:29] it's a branch [12:13:39] only the releases are tagged [12:14:08] svn switch should do it [12:14:26] updating [12:14:51] btw svn switch is non-atomic [12:14:56] we had a guy in here with that problem [12:15:08] he had half his WC on one branch and half on the other [12:15:19] that's what happens if you press ctrl-C halfway through [12:15:25] xD [12:15:27] svn up is neither, I guess [12:15:45] Well, watchlists are working now, so I guess that fixed it [12:15:47] thanks Nikerabbit and TimStarling [12:17:46] TimStarling : do you know of any publicaly accessible MySQL MW database, so i could test my changes ... [12:18:13] publically accessible in what sense? [12:18:49] so i can connect to it from my test server ... [12:19:16] timstarling: that was meĄ [12:19:18] ! [12:19:27] timstarling: I borked quite some stuff with 'svn switch' few days ago [12:19:31] domas: you make funny typos [12:19:40] yeah that was a strange punctuation mark [12:19:44] I will have to see your keyboard some day [12:19:46] timstarling: wrong keyboard layout [12:20:02] domas: How? Just by hitting ctrl-c in them middle of it? [12:20:09] it wasn't actually you I was thinking of [12:20:20] timstarling: there's "lazy" layout where lithuanian characters are instead of first row with digits [12:21:25] 03tstarling * r50579 10/branches/REL1_15/extensions/ParserFunctions/ (. ParserFunctions.php): Backported r50506: make #time work in PHP 5.3. [12:23:18] I've combed through those schema change diffs now [12:23:41] freakolowsky: can't you just install MySQL on your server? [12:24:19] found three issues worth fixing: il_from being varchar instead of int, index name wrong on ipb_address, iw_url limited to 127 chars [12:24:37] chuck: by specifying wrong path :) [12:25:06] freakolowsky: the easiest thing to do is install it locally [12:25:42] ialex & TimStarling : that means installing prereqs, installing db, maintaining schema, maintaining db ... just so i can test :S [12:25:52] if I visit my Aunt for christmas, she might just end up with a MySQL instance on her computer [12:25:56] domas: hehe, oops [12:26:13] chuck: had to do some acrobatics to fix that [12:26:20] chuck: also, had switch interrupted by permission problems [12:26:23] I've installed them on every computer I've owned since I started working on MW, and quite a few I don't own [12:26:49]
