Page links with national characters disappeared after database migration

 * MediaWiki: 1.10alpha
 * PHP: 5.2.6 (ucgi5)
 * MySQL: 5.0.66a-log
 * URL: http://www.krokpokroku.pl/wiki/index.php?title=Inspiracje

Hello,

I need help with the following problem.

I am moving a MediaWiki based webpage from one server to another. After exporting the database and importing it to the new server I got the message "1271: Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN ' (mysql.extremefaith.info)". So I updated MediaWiki to the newest stable version (1.13.3) which caused the change of the $wgDBmysql5 variable value to "true" and that solved the problem.

Yet another one appeared. Although the content of the present pages remained unchanged (all the national characters were present) all the links with national characters became "red" (f.ex. "Śnieżnobiałe światło") and I can't access the content of those pages. What's more when I add the content manually some pages still remain "red". When I click on this kind of edited-"red" page I can see the content but it's being opened in "edit" tab by default. All the tables have "latin2_general_ci" collation set.

Could you please help me to fix the "red" links with national characters?

(You can see the red links f.ex. here: http://mat.extremefaith.info/kpk/mediawiki-1.13.3/index.php?title=Teksty_pie%C5%9Bni)

Content is no longer visible, and I cannot log in to my account

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version: 5.2.8
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67

All my pages are showing me the "There is currently no text in this page..." message, and I cannnot log in to my account. I can view the 'recent changes' page. I can't see the history of any pages, yet I can see the diffs. My web host recently upgraded from MySQL 4 to 5, so perhaps it's something to do with that.

Does anyone know of something I can do to restore my wiki? Being able to view the diffs, I think the content is still in there somewhere.

(RESOLVED) Can't view content pages - DB Error!
We recently updated to ver.1.13 from 1.11 as well as changed over to a new server for both our site and db server. When we view any content page we recieve the following error:
 * MediaWiki version: 1.13 (upgraded from 1.11)
 * PHP version: 5.2.6
 * MySQL version:  5.0.45-community-nt
 * URL: http://www.bandwiki.net/

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: SELECT page_id, page_namespace, page_title, page_len, page_is_redirect, pp_value FROM `sb_wiki_page` LEFT JOIN `sb_wiki_page_props` ON pp_propname='hiddencat' AND pp_page=page_id WHERE (page_namespace=14 AND page_title='Band♪Wiki_Extensions')

from within function "OutputPage::addCategoryLinks". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'nwpos09_bandwiki.sb_wiki_page_props' doesn't exist (lord.my-hosting-panel.com)".”

The same error pretty-much occurs with 'sb_wiki_protected_titles' when viewing pages like the 'Privacy Policy' as well.

Column user_id corrupted?

After much investigation is appears that the column user_id in mySQL got deleted. Now all my users can see the wiki and even anonymously edit any page they would like. But they cannot login with their user ID's and cannot register. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I'm not a super mySQL user so as explicit detail as possible will be greatly appreciated.

Fixed: mysql>ALTER TABLE aw_user ADD COLUMN user_id INT(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT;

[Solved] Database error when registered user or Admin try to modify Main page contents

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version: 5
 * MySQL version:
 * URL: http://www.4copter.com/mediawiki

Hello, I have a quite strange problem.

When a logged registered user or logged Admin try to modify the Main page contents he receive an error message: ''Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Can't contact the database server: Unknown error (sql.4copter.com))''

Any non logged user  can modify the main page ! Registered users and Admin when logged can access to their pages.

It is a bug !

'''If I click on the edit link on the left side of the Main page, the hyperlink is something like http://www.mysite.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=main_page&action=edit&section=1

But if I click on the "modify" tab on the top menu of the same page hyperlink is something like http://www.mysite.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=main_page&action=edit

Without the final part of link "&section=1" the page can be modified also by registred user and Admin.

Database query error after minor mysql upgrade

 * MediaWiki version: 1.10.1
 * PHP version: PHP: 5.2.0-8+etch13 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch8-log

Hello, I have few MW installations on an intranet, after upgrading mysql from 5.0.32-7etch6 to 5.0.32-7etch8 I got all my MW failing with the same following error.

Original exception: exception 'DBQueryError' with message 'A database error has occurred Query: SELECT value,exptime FROM `objectcache` WHERE keyname='mw_ultra:messages-hash' Function: MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery Error: 1033 Incorrect information in file: './mw_ultra/objectcache.frm' (localhost) ' in /home/albafotonica.com/ultra/includes/Database.php:806 ...

I have no idea what happened, and could not repair the error. Fortunately I have dumped all my databases before the upgrade, dropping the MW databases and putting everything where it was solved the problem. But i still wonder what happened, I googled for the error with no luck (except same symptoms when upgrading from some mysql4 versions as the FRM format changed somehow, but its not the case). Perhaps someone can throw some light over this, I believe it can happen to many people using Debian stable, and not everyone remembers to backup before upgrading.

—IvanStepaniuk 10:30, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems that this error is related to changes in the InnoDB (binary log sizes mismatch during upgrade?). Restoring the backup was probably the fast/safe solution but not the only one. This is not MW related, I will try to track down the problem somewhere else anyway. --IvanStepaniuk 11:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately i don't know. I had modified only LocalSettings.php: before there was "line 19", now there is "line 115". —Mark 54 15:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Mark
 * His new error says (from his url)
 * "...failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wikimh/public_html/LocalSettings.php on line 115"
 * So it's basically the same error, on another line (115) referencing the same file. Doesn't really make sense, as that file is already "required" by line 19. You can probably comment that line adding # at the begin of the line 115. Perhaps you should try to recover a working copy of your LocalSettings file, or generate a new one if you are not familiar with PHP. --IvanStepaniuk 16:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Mark, it is very difficult to tell if there is an error in what you have posted, try to post your file again (perhaps in your user page instead, not here), and do not modify anything but passwrords and sensitive info. Anyway, now I see your problem is the database connection, so either your user or password is incorrect, or the database is just not there. I think the best you can do if you are just starting, is to start over, carefully following the indications on the Manual:Installation guide, good luck! --IvanStepaniuk 23:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I have posted my LocalSettings.php file in my user page. I have assured myself that the password and the user are correct. In my wiki's database there are many files, so starting over is a big problem for me :( How can i generate a new Localsettings.php file? Or how do i recover the files which are in my database? Thanks for your help.

PS I have tried to modify my LocalSettings.php and now there is this message: "Error, Setup.php must be included from the file scope, after DefaultSettings.php ". —Mark 54 20:44, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Mark

I followed the instructions on: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserPageViewTracker

All went well and a table user_page_views was created. It all went wrong when I ran "UserPageHits.sql" as prescribed. Upon doing so I received an error as follows: #1142 - CREATE VIEW command denied to user 'bnl'@'localhost' for table 'user_page_hits'

The UserPageHits.sql is copy pasted as follows:

CREATE VIEW `user_page_hits` AS SELECT `u`.`user_name` AS `user_name`, `u`.`user_real_name` AS `user_real_name`, `p`.`page_namespace` AS `page_namespace`, `p`.`page_title` AS `page_title`, `v`.`hits` AS `hits`, `v`.`last` AS `last` FROM ((`user` `u` JOIN `page` `p`) JOIN `user_page_views` `v`) WHERE ((`u`.`user_id` = `v`.`user_id`) AND (`p`.`page_id` = `v`.`page_id`)) ORDER BY `u`.`user_id`,`v`.`hits` DESC;

Can anyone help me out what I have to do differently? Cheers.

 * Make sure that you're connecting to the right database, and that you're using the right database prefix. If you are, then you're missing some tables, and will need to restore from a backup. —Emufarmers(T 21:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

While none of that information has changed... I have noticed errors when viewing the tables with phpMyAdmin... All except the search index seem to be broken. This exact same thing has happened to annother media wiki of mine on annother server, with a completly different set up. Unfortunatly my backup was lost when I had a personal harddrive failure (didnt backup the backup.) Why might this have happened ONLY to 2 media wiki databases, when all the other databases on the mysql servers stay fine? Are there any tools out there that I could run that can try and recover corrupt InnoDB tables? --Chavoc 00:33, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I would guess that the other databases on the servers aren't using InnoDB. You could try repairing the tables in phpMyAdmin; you could also dump, drop, and recreate the tables; and, of course, you could just ask your host for a backup (whether or not they'll have one to give you depends on the host). —Emufarmers(T 12:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

The Wiki seems to run fine though...., but the error is disturbing.

Getting table 'page' is full errors when trying to create article

Hello, I've been running this wiki for quite a while without issues of this kind. Recently, the server that the database is on crashed. After this we have had some strange errors from Mediawiki related to the database. I tried running CHECK TABLE on each of the mediawiki tables and they all reported ok, so I'm not sure where the error lies. Here is the specific error I'm getting when trying to create an article:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "Article::insertOn". MySQL returned error "1114: The table 'page' is full (db-hostname-omitted)".

Thanks for your help. -- Deltaray 15:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Is the disk at or near capacity? If you don't run your server yourself, you should contact your host; otherwise, start reading up on MySQL error 1114. —Emufarmers(T 20:50, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, appearently my innodb file reached its configured max capacity of 128MB. Sillyness. I'll have to break out the tables into multiple files when I get a chance. -- Deltaray 12:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
