I have a domain and I would like to put mediawiki on it. [00:52:48] do you have a web-server? [01:00:39] never mind, Not the domain name I want [01:00:50] Do you guyz know anything about webs.com? [01:01:01] could I use mediawiki with this? [01:04:27] or do you know anything free that I could use mediawiki with? Anyone hello? [01:07:38] using free hosts for mediawiki rarely turns out well [01:08:05] lol I know but I can't afford to spend money this is for an organization [01:16:16] Home: http://www.yourwiki.net/wiki/YourWiki [01:56:16] Hi, I'm trying to set up "pretty URLs" (wiki.mysite.com/wiki/Page). Mediawiki's files are in /home/myuser/public_html/wiki and are accessible via the wiki.mysite.com subdomain. The page on short URLs says the install path can't be the same as the virtual directory, but it seems to be working -- why? Should I change it? [01:58:00] is there a way to tell mediawiki, that an external link is an image, even if this file does not end on a typical dot 3 letter [01:58:08] Oh, and $wgScriptPath is set to "", not a path. [01:58:35] 03dale * r50613 10/branches/new-upload/phase3/ (5 files in 4 dirs): new-upload updates [01:59:54] kephra: append fakeparameter=.jpg [02:00:15] either & or ? (depending on if the URL has a query string already) [02:00:27] http://wiki.kephra.de/index.php?title=User:Kephra_Nurmi/pictures <- this is the page I want [02:00:51] http://wiki.kephra.de/index.php?title=Template:Video <- this is the template I'm playing around [02:02:42] try: http://secondlife.com/app/image/{{urlencode:{{{2}}}}}/2?ext=.jpg [02:03:42] *kephra cheers for Splarka ;) [02:04:00] http://wiki.kephra.de/index.php?title=User:Kephra_Nurmi/pictures [02:04:23] sorta works [02:05:18] *hm* [02:05:19] you can make it a link too, with: [http://google.com http://secondlife.com/app/image/{{urlencode:{{{2}}}}}/2?ext=.jpg] [02:05:40] replacing google.com with the url you want to link to, has to be an external url, but you can use {{fullurl:pagename}} too for internal [02:06:14] reloading this page sometimes shows the picture ... sometimes just shows 2?ext=.jpg [02:14:57] hmm, not the fault of the wikicode anyway [02:15:16] true ;( [02:15:16] an is generated for each one, but if the image doesn't load it shows the alt text, which is 2?ext=.jpg [02:16:06] sometimes secondlife generates an error message "Unable to forward this request at this time." ;( [02:16:42] the generated html is:

[02:17:20] luck that the app/image urls throw away the ?ext=.jpg [02:19:35] do I really need the {{urlencode: ? {{{2}}} is always a UUID [02:19:41] 03(mod) Give proper error message when viewing &action=protect without sufficient rights - 10https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18677 +comment (10brion) [02:20:51] just a question [02:20:59] is anyone familiar with the "compare players" feature on mlb.com [02:21:01] and if so [02:21:15] how would one incorporate such a module (assuming it's java...) onto a mediawiki platform? [02:21:21] slash, a wiki site. [02:27:42] I...guess not [02:34:48] pandacomics: with an extension [02:35:55] pandacomics: you should really link to the feature directly. I'm not familiar with the site [02:38:09] What is WikiMap? [02:38:15] Fatal error: Class 'WikiMap' not found in /home/yourwiki/htdocs/html/w/extensions/AbuseFilter/SpecialAbuseLog.php on line 243 [02:39:32] ah. [02:40:12] @ ryan: http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/league_leaders.jsp?c_id=mlb&Submit=Submit&sortByStat=AVG&baseballScope=mlb&statType=1&timeFrame=1&timeSubFrame=2009 [02:40:23] you just check two of the boxes, click "compare" [02:40:32] and it recalls the data for those rows [02:40:46] since it's listed as jsp, I would assume it only requires knowledge of java [02:40:51] and possibly mysql for the database [02:43:15] Wait, why is AbuseFilter using a class that isn't even part of MediaWiki? It's actually a part of AbuseFilter. That's lame. [02:43:18] TimStarling: ping [02:43:50] usually extensions are allowed to use classes that they define themselves [02:44:35] AbuseFilter doesn't define that class, CentralAuth does. [02:45:52] Oh I see, WikiMap is added to core in r48877 [02:45:56] pandacomics: you could probably do that with straight html, and yes you'd likely need to store the data in the database [02:45:59] TimStarling: Can you backport that to the REL1_15 release? [02:46:21] pandacomics: although, if all of the data is in your wiki, you could likely do a lot of this with semantic mediawiki [02:46:28] (please) [02:46:37] WikiMap? [02:46:53] yesh [02:46:59] sounds like a feature [02:47:23] pandacomics: and write a special page that allows you to compare players by using an #ask query that has a decent output format [02:47:45] TimStarling: Some AbuseFilter special pages are kind of broken without it, though. It's really just a simple class. [02:48:05] how broken? [02:48:37] pandacomics: the charts might be difficult to make, but I'm actually working on something right now that would likely be useful for it :) [02:48:58] TimStarling: Well, it's a missing class, so PHP Fatal Error broken [02:49:03] on Special:AbuseLog and maybe more [02:49:14] Actually, no, just Special:AbuseLog [02:49:21] 03tstarling * r50614 10/trunk/phase3/includes/db/Database.php: (log message trimmed) [02:49:21] Fix breakage of SQLite ResultWrapper due to r45769. The "result" member in [02:49:21] SQLite is actually an array and so passing by value to [02:49:21] DatabaseSqlite::fetchObject() makes it fail to iterate. We can't really pass it [02:49:21] by reference since that's an E_STRICT error due to a parameter type mismatch [02:49:23] with Database. Pass the ResultWrapper instead. [02:49:25] This means that nothing at all should be passing bare result objects/arrays to [02:49:48] // This is a damn dirty hack [02:49:49] if ( !$initialiseSettingsDone ) { [02:49:49] $initialiseSettingsDone = true; [02:49:49] if( file_exists( "$IP/InitialiseSettings.php" ) ) { [02:50:26] I'm assuming the tagged version of AbuseFilter will work, then [02:53:13] I don't think this is going to happen [02:53:47] copying rubbish code like this out of CentralAuth unchanged [02:54:28] > jak dokonać reupload-own [02:55:28] TimStarling: heh, what % of MW code would you say has reasonable quality? [02:55:32] TimStarling: Perhaps AbuseFilter's recent changes to use that should be reverted too so it's not using that brittle new class? [02:56:11] AaronSchulz: so you want to pile more crap on top of the crap because there's crap there already? [02:56:22] no [02:56:30] actually I don't think it's that bad [02:56:56] the core is improving incrementally, and there are very few Wikimedia-specific hacks outside of the maintenance directory [02:57:08] we've really come a long way [02:58:18] Well I think WikiMap might be a good idea, MediaWiki does need some more built-in things that could possibly be used in wiki-farming situations [02:59:09] I think it would be a false start [02:59:43] SiteConfiguration is not really usable outside of Wikimedia, it needs to be rewritten [03:00:00] another 100 lines on top of it doesn't look like a good idea to me [03:00:01] Really? Why isn't it? [03:00:44] initialisation and the configuration cache are done in uncommitted code in CommonSettings.php [03:01:09] the language/site split is Wikimedia-specific [03:01:12] Well, that initialisation snippet is available somewhere on the MediaWiki wiki, isn't it? [03:01:26] the way databases are named is Wikimedia-specific and really terrible [03:01:29] I have that running on YourWiki. I don't use it, but I should...

[04:42:15] Even with PHP's file_get_contents, I'm getting cache misses [04:43:34] it's fairly complicated [04:43:39] I'm not sure if it's properly documented [04:45:01] It just seems kind of randomly annoying to me... For example, the main page is never cached for whatever reason. [04:45:44] I wouldn't call it random [04:45:58] it's a complicated thing to set up, squid wasn't designed for caching wikis [04:46:36] arent there some WMF specific patches to squid? or did those ever get merged upstream [04:46:51] TimStarling: Well, the thing I'm trying to get cached is an ?action=render, maybe squid won't cache things with certain query strings like that? [04:46:53] no, there are still some patches [04:47:04] they're not necessary though, just useful [04:48:12] What the hell... I just changed the URL around a bit, and now the headers are saying that the webserver is running Apache.. Am I hallucinating or something? [04:48:51] yes [04:49:02] your doctor tells me you are prone to hallucination [04:49:22] here's a basic overview of how to use Squid with MediaWiki [04:49:46] set $wgUseSquid = true, $wgSquidServers to a list of squid IP addresses [04:50:19] and..? [04:51:47] use header_replace to replace outgoing cache-control headers with cache-suppressing ones [04:51:54] like... [04:52:05] header_access Cache-Control deny wpcontent [04:52:08] header_replace Cache-Control private, s-maxage=0, max-age=0, must-revalidate [04:52:18] acl wpcontent url_regex -i http://.*/wiki/.* [04:52:18] acl wpcontent url_regex -i http://.*/w/.* [04:52:19] why? [04:52:39] so that when a page changes, your users will see the new version [04:53:22] note that one of our squid patches is to make the header_replace work properly [04:53:36] by default it replaces both request headers and response headers [04:54:05] that is not ideal but will work [04:56:07] Is there any way to make ?action=render's cacheable? [04:57:16] no. [04:57:21] they are in the parser cache though [04:57:27] so it's not too slow [04:58:01] so it shouldn't hit mysql, then [04:58:42] TimStarling: Which cache setup would you recommend for a single server? we're using APC as the main cache and memcached as the parser cache, and I'm not sure if that's optimal or whatever [04:59:25] just memcached, don't use APC [05:00:27] Really? [05:00:37] I read in one of domas' blog posts that APC was god-like [05:01:34] it's fast but crashy [05:01:50] memcached is fast too, just not quite as fast as APC [05:01:57] and it doesn't crash (much) [05:02:41] I don't recall domas calling it god-like ;) [05:04:57] Can any one point me to the steps of changing wiki theme ? [05:06:43] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin [05:07:58] tanks [05:08:00] * thanks [05:13:49] AaronSchulz: Well, the statistics were very convincing :P [05:15:30] TimStarling: But isn't it better to have that bytecode cached? Or will that still happen even if Memcached is the main cache in MediaWiki? [05:15:59] APC is crashy? maybe that's why my PHP's are always segfaulting lol :( [05:26:04] 03aaron * r50620 10/trunk/phase3/maintenance/populateLogSearch.inc: Add newline to echo call [05:26:49] it will still happen if memcached is the main cache [05:27:03] bytecode caching is controlled purely via php.ini [07:35:58] ???

[13:06:08] No [13:06:13] Hi, where can I find my '.my.cnf' file? [13:06:23] thats what its complaining about [13:06:36] arash_, for mysql? depends on your os [13:07:01] that sounds like a #mysql question, not a #mediawiki question [13:07:29] hmm... oh ok :-/ (I've got to read up more on what this whole database thingie is all about) [13:07:46] Hi, M'y name's Pierre. I'we some charst trouble when moving my mediawiki from one server to another.. [13:07:51] anyone can help me? [13:07:56] i got two V's, haha [13:08:03] oh, no, regulary i'm PierreW. [13:08:18] how can i print (to printer) article with header & footer that repeat on each printed page?? [13:09:27] lol [13:09:29] Reedy: is there a "standard" way for mediawiki to have a server replication? [13:09:34] 2 pierre on the same channel! [13:09:39] OH NOES! [13:09:41] Reedy: what we are doing, we are using mysql replication [13:10:06] so I'm setting mediawiki on the server where the mysql replication db's are, and that's why I want to set mediawiki to read-only mode in this server [13:11:15] how can i print (to printer) article with special header & footer that repeat on each printed page?? [13:11:31] I've some trouble with my database replication... [13:11:54] some french ponctuation are transleted with a ? [13:11:58] kwame, normally you would configure MediaWiki to use the master as a master and the slave as a slave. [13:12:12] If I'm a "noob", is it a good idea to use a backup-script to simplify the task for myself? [13:12:24] Simetrical: that's what I'm doing [13:12:41] mediawiki in the "slave" server is using the replicated db, but this replicated db it's in read-only mode [13:12:42] Then all should be well. [13:12:57] I'm not sure you understand what I mean. [13:13:06] then, I'm using the $wgReadOnly directive [13:13:14] I don't think that's what you want. [13:13:34] Do you want two separate wikis, one of which is read-only? [13:13:42] correct [13:13:45] Um, okay. [13:13:49] That seems a little odd. [13:14:04] But i think he wants the 2nd as like a backup.. replicated from the first [13:14:11] Reedy: correct [13:14:28] 2 seperate sets of configs.. one with readonly set in the conf file? :/ [13:14:35] If it's for backup, you don't need to run MediaWiki on the second at all . . . [13:15:02] Why would you want a separate copy of the wiki where no one could edit, change their watchlists, etc., but which is otherwise identical, including having all the same users? [13:15:14] Simetrical: but this second instance of mediawiki, the backup one, needs to be accessed, just for read access [13:15:27] Why does it need to be accessed? By who? [13:15:42] Simetrical: that's the requirements I got :-/ [13:15:48] . . . [13:15:53] Simetrical: :) I know [13:15:56] Maybe you should ask for clarification? [13:20:30] http://laxstrom.name/notlikethis.png [13:22:21] hello everyone [13:22:45] how does mediawiki could rewrite urls of type index.php?title=foobar&action=edit&redlink=1 [13:23:02] how can i print (to printer) article with special header & footer that repeat on each printed page?? [13:23:05] ? It rewrites for links which arce not edit [13:24:30] everything is ok in .htaccess [13:24:42] rewriting is ok, but mediawiki doesn't call the right urls [13:25:22] does exists another $wgArticlePath directive specially for editable links? [13:37:49] how can i print (to printer) article with special header & footer that repeat on each printed page?? [13:41:37] hi, I installed 2 wikis on the same database, one in English, the other one in French. I used http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSharedDB to share the user table so that we have to register only once (still login two time). But now, when I log in the French one, the wiki swtiches in English... any idea ? [13:44:42] is the language linked to the user ?

So how could I do that ? Is it possible to force the interface language ? [14:24:12] SynrG: do you have any extensions? [14:24:26] SynrG: if yes, did you move them? [14:24:56] yes, and yes. [14:25:01] i moved the whole tree. [14:25:30] everything is self-contained in the one directory [14:26:06] SynrG: my recomendation would be [14:26:42] SynrG: install mediawiki in the xampp new server, and once you have it up and running, just do a dump of your database, and after that, just run the update.php script [14:27:12] ok ... as for the dump of the db, i already have that loaded on the new server. [14:27:20] update.php expects a dump file? [14:27:36] can it make use of the already loaded db? [14:27:54] SynrG: so, no, don't dump the db into the xampp server, just create an empty db and do a fresh install of mediawiki [14:33:33] ok. i'll try that next. i'm just double-checking the wiki user via phpmyadmin, though. i can't login as the wiki user ... shouldn't i be able to?

[14:45:02] so my sole remaining problem would be to rewrite URLs to take out the "/mediawiki" path. dunno if i can do this without messing up xampp which has other root paths to other things. [14:52:52] hi, if I get the error 'Messages file for extensions PageBy is not defined', what does it mean exactly ? [14:53:17] Hey everyone, i';m working on the version mediawiki 1.6.10 and i wanna upgrade till the newest version. Can i do it directly, or should i install every version. (because i have 6 wiki, so quite a lot of work if ther is no faster way...) [14:57:14] marineam15: The PageBy extension's message file is missing maybe? Is this a new error, or are you trying to load a new extension? [14:57:25] DjAngo23: do it directly [14:57:41] Ryan_Lane: I tried, but nothing appears on my page [14:57:42] DjAngo23: it is the recommended method [14:57:57] DjAngo23: what do you mean nothing appeared? [14:57:59] But, the db did update via console. [14:58:05] Blank page [14:58:14] DjAngo23: that's usually a php error [14:58:21] DjAngo23: do you have extensions installed? [14:58:29] this is a new error [14:58:35] No extensions [14:58:43] Ryan_Lane: actually I upgraded from 1.12 to 1.13 [14:58:43] marineam15: when did it start? [14:58:47] phpinfo shows php5 [14:58:50] DjAngo23: what do your logs show? [14:59:10] Ryan_Lane: and now I get this error [14:59:17] there i need help, what is the path to that log ? [14:59:40] DjAngo23: you on a linux system? do you have root? [14:59:47] how can i print (to printer) article with special header & footer that repeat on each printed page?? [14:59:52] Ryan_Lane: but the extension seems to work on 1.13, I mean I didn't see anything on the extension page which would say it doesn't work with this version... [14:59:56] marineam15: Is it an error or a warning? [15:00:09] Ryan_Lane: internal error [15:00:46] marineam15: how did you download the extension? from a snapshot? [15:00:59] Ryan_Lane: No root, but i can go till the directoryies : html, log, logs, etc, [15:01:22] DjAngo23: it'll likely be in your web server's logs [15:01:27] Ryan_Lane: I don't remember it was last year... but I can download it again just to be sure to have the good version [15:01:37] DjAngo23: usually /var/logs/httpd/error_log [15:01:48] perfekt, i gonna take a look there [15:01:56] DjAngo23: err /var/log/httpd/error_log [15:02:09] DjAngo23: or /var/log/apache2/error_log on ubuntu/debian [15:02:10] Ryan_Lane: actually I think it was from a snapshot yes [15:02:14] Should open it with tail right ? [15:02:33] DjAngo23: or vi or cat into less, or however you are comfortable with [15:02:42] DjAngo23: tail -f is usually good though [15:03:19] marineam15: the PageBy.i18n.php file isn't missing right? [15:03:51] Ryan_Lane: the PageBy.i18n.php isn't missing [15:04:27] Ryan_Lane: Nothing in the log, only faicon [15:04:34] err favicon [15:04:59] DjAngo23: are you on a shared host? [15:05:42] yep [15:06:03] DjAngo23: they may put your logs elsewhere [15:06:22] DjAngo23: possibly in your home directory [15:09:59] Ryan_Lane: I replaced the PageBy folder by a new one I just downloaded [15:10:08] Ryan_Lane: but the problem is still there [15:10:30] marineam15: let me download it and see if I get the same issue [15:10:45] Ryan_Lane: maybe something changed in the 1.13 [15:10:49] Ryan_Lane: ok thank you :) [15:11:43] Ryan_Lane: actually I call this extension in a customized page includes/ArticleInfo.php, using wfLoadExtensionMessages( 'PageBy' ); [15:12:03] ok [15:14:43] marineam15: the extension works for me, by using it in a page in MediaWiki 1.14. let me see if I can figure out why it isn't working for your other plugin [15:15:02] Ryan_Lane: I can found actual logs, but i a add 'echo "Hello World";' in the index file, it works [15:15:28] 03ashley * r50629 10/trunk/extensions/SocialProfile/UserRelationship/ (8 files): [15:15:28] SocialProfile: cleanup to UserRelationship stuff: [15:15:28] *rewrote JS to be less YUI-dependent [15:15:28] *rewrote a raw SQL query to use Database class in UserRelationshipClass.php [15:15:28] *spacing [15:15:29] *a bit of documentation [15:15:31] *removed unused globals [15:15:39] DjAngo23: what works?
