[02:07:32] Stupid question time: what English variant are we using on the MediaWiki site? American English? [02:14:07] RobinHood70: "en" means American English in the context of MediaWiki, en-gb is British, en-ca is Canadian. Except the documentation about "Localisation" uses the British spelling of the word. [02:15:57] legoktm: We really should fix that… [02:16:22] ROFL! Okay, I'll use American English then. Thanks. I just used the word "behavioural" in some of the API documentation and then went "Wait...should I be putting the u in that or not?" :D [02:17:32] James_F: I'm a bit scared at which way you plan on fixing that ;) [02:17:52] legoktm: 'en-us' for AmEng; re-write 'en' to try to be neutral and not pick sides where possible. [02:18:04] legoktm: And allow en-au, en-in etc. as requested. [02:19:47] en-ne, in which all localizations must be in the form of palindromes... [02:21:57] i did propose en-x-piglatin. [02:24:45] I suppose that proper naming via en-x-ne still keeps the theme. [05:22:35] when submitting a patch, should you always rebase it as the gerrit tutorial suggests? [05:23:43] ty: Generally, yes. [05:24:21] okay, I was just surprised when running the git review command it asked if I was sure about putting all these commits to review, showing commits I assume it got from rebasing [15:57:40] hey guys ... how can i rebuild a mediawiki i i have only the file-system [15:57:48] no sql database anymore [15:58:58] the sql db might be in the wamp-file system ... but don't know how to find/extract/import it [16:08:39] Surfer2015, what is "the file system"? is your DB in that file system or not? [16:09:16] i think it is ... must be because EVERYTHING the wamp-server installed and saved was in the folder "wamp" [16:09:27] so in there must be a mysql-folder with the db [16:09:53] why do you want to "rebuild" something? [16:10:08] since he says wamp, it's windows so it's somewhere but in some cryptic long-ass path under the user name [16:10:50] probably because he wants to keep his data [16:12:10] i had a nice wiki ... and i want to restore it and use it again [16:12:24] lot of work and effort in it so it's worth a lot [16:12:41] the original wiki was on a win-maschine on a wamp server [16:13:04] and the new one should go on ubuntu (allready have a lamp server) [16:13:42] Surfer2015: do you have a MySQL console link in start menu? [16:13:58] do you if it's actually using mysql? [16:14:31] in what start menu? ... on ubuntu i use phpadmin ... and otherwise a terminal [16:14:57] i assumed you are still on the windows machine trying to save the wiki data [16:15:14] and i have a folder on my usb drive which is a 1:1 copy of the "wamp-folder" everything was stored in [16:15:22] no i'm on linux [16:15:39] the windows machine is gone ... [16:15:49] the best i have is search for it.. seerch for "sql" or strings like that [16:15:58] so no chance to export or anything anymore ... only the copy of the filesystem [16:16:00] find . | grep etc [16:16:26] i found ***.frm files which seem to be the right ones [16:16:33] Surfer2015: so.. ok.. find the config file [16:16:42] and that should have a database name [16:16:46] then search for that name [16:16:48] pagelinks.frm & recentchanges.frm ... [16:17:14] that sounds like it, yea [16:17:59] so can i "import" those *.frm files? or how do i go from there? [16:18:39] Surfer2015: i think your best bet is this: somehow get a temporary windows machine.. install wamp.. copy the stuff back in place.. start mysql.. use mysqldump to create dump files.. copy those back to the Linux machine [16:18:44] and import those [16:18:53] but ask others. not sure enough [16:18:59] ok [16:19:34] i was hoping to import those *frm files direktly into my Ubuntu-MySQL [16:21:39] afaik copying raw files to move a mysql db can work, but only if they are the exact same version [16:21:50] otherwise using mysqldump is always recommended [16:22:37] and the comments on https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/frm-file-format.html make it sound like it is different [16:22:53] "The .frm format is the same on all platforms, but in the description of the .frm format that follows, the examples come from tables created under the Linux operating system. " [16:38:12] mutante: i dicovered now the following, i used brute force ^^ and copied all the *.frm files to my existing mediawiki [16:38:42] and i got a db error once i restarted mysql ... [16:39:06] version of the old wiki is 5.5.8 and the recent wiki is newer than that [17:41:13] thanks for the review anomie! I'll work on your comments :) [17:57:12] Surfer2015: Microsoft provides some Windows VMs for testing browsers. That'd be a somewhat convenient way for you to just run stuff that's on the filesystem you have sitting around. https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/mac/ [18:57:14] nobody to help me :( ... restore a mediawiki db from the *frm files
