(RESOLVED) Add Groups
Does simply adding a group in LocalSettings.php cause MediaWiki to allow users to be added?


 * Yes. 86.138.46.182 17:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

And how to add a group? I can't find anything about adding groups to mediawiki.


 * I found that you can add groups simply by creating permissions for them in localsettings.php. For example entering:

"$wgGroupPermissions['internaluser']['read']  = true;"
 * Will create the group "internaluser", and also provide them with read access.


 * This is not very correct. It's correct that this way a user group "internaluser" is created. But this group has the user rights of the standard group "user" as well, so you don't need to give them read access additionally – except when you denied read access to the standard "user" group (which is not very senseful :-) ). If you want to give standard users less rights than they have in a standard installation, but to have special users who have these rights again, first deny the right to the "user" group, then give the right back to the special group, e. g.:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage']  = false; $wgGroupPermissions['internaluser']['createpage'] = true;
 * At least this is the way how it works in my 1.9.x installations. Regards -- 89.55.176.121 08:15, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) Going direct to Edit page when article does not yet exist from link or search
Just set up a new Wiki last week, and during initial customization I found instructions on how to configure it to automatically bring up an edit page with text editor whenever a page is not found. Sounded efficient, so I did it. Since our users are all Wiki Newbies, it turned out not to be so good an idea, after all, but now I can't find the instructions in order to set it back! I would have sworn this info was in the FAQ, but during install and setup I was bouncing back and forth between meta, here, and some third-party sites trying to figure out what to do next, so I could very well be wrong. Can someone please tell me how to set this feature back to the default, and perhaps it should be included in the faq. Thanks.

(RESOLVED) Protect Namespace
Only sysops can add pages to Mediawiki namespace. Is it possible to create new namespace, where only sysops will have permission in adding and editing pages? Or change preferences for existing namespace, i.e. Help: ?
 * Setting user rights in MediaWiki and Hidden pages. Seb35 16:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fast answer! I've never use and don't know php language, but I found in includes/Title.php this code: if( NS_MEDIAWIKI == $this->mNamespace &&		   !$wgUser->isAllowed('editinterface') ) { wfProfileOut( $fname ); return false; } I copied it again, and changed NS_MEDIAWIKI in i.e. 100 - number of my custom namespace. And it works! - Only sysops can add and edit pages in this namespace, but everyone can read it. I would like to ask you - is it good and safe solution? 21:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, but you will lose the change when you next upgrade your copy of MediaWiki, unless you take care. Make sure you note the changes you have made to a separate (new) file so that you can re-apply them after an upgrade. Also be sure to lock your wiki when you perform an upgrade, otherwise there will be a period of time between upgrading to the new version and re-applying your fix when these pages will be editable by everyone! Note that subsequent versions of MediaWiki may not work in the same way, so your fix is not guaranteed to work in the future, however I don't know of any method of achieving the above using the existing settings so unless I am mistaken then hacking the code is the best way, for now.   --HappyDog 12:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

(OUTDATED) Server Problems...
I've been some problems with my server (I think). There are several times when I will visit my wiki and the resulting page will be completely blank. This is not a 404 error, the URl is clearly visible in the address bar, but the page is completely blank....even the source code.

It doesn't happen for very long (the longest "outage" so far was 10 minutes), usually it is only down for 1-2 minutes, and then it comes right back. But it is very annoying, and if someone is visiting my page for the first time and encounters the blank age, they may not come back, thinking it a dead site.

My hosting company (Siteground) insists that there is no problem and that it must be my internet connection. However, I have a friend in another state whom I was chatting with via IM, and I asked them to look at the site at the exact moment, and they got the same thing, a blank page, so it cannot be just me.

My questions are:


 * Has this happened to anyone else?
 * Is Siteground a good server, or should I look into someone else?
 * If I need to transfer to another server...how easy/difficult is it to move an entire wiki database? Is it just a matter of exporting and re-importing the MySQL database? I am sure there are more steps than this.

Sorry for the long post, but....this is getting frustrating. It happens 3-4 times an hour as of late.

—74.128.207.61 16:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * If its an intermittent problem like that and you're not experiencing the same thing with other sites, then I can't see how the provider can say its not their problem. It should be no problem moving the site elsewhere, just take a complete copy of your wiki directory structure so you get your localsettings and uploaded files, and export your database as SQL (not XML or other custom format or you may not have the same tools on your target server). When you set up your new database, try and keep all the login and database name the same to avoid need to do any configuration changes. --Nad 19:42, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * This is what they told me:


 * "The issue you have experienced was explained in my previous reply. That is why I have used the same response. I apologize if it sounded unprofessional.
 * I have now double checked the error logs on the server and the error_log under the public_html folder on your account. There is not errors which may cause this issue.
 * That means that the issue could be caused only from a script which is timing out. This caused the blank screen on location from which there is a lack of Internet to our Data-Center.
 * Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to prevent such network glitches because they are not on our network.
 * Please let us know if we may assist you further on this matter.
 * Looking forward to your reply."


 * I don't understand how it can be happening to me and to other viewers of the site...from another state even...and it is our faults and not the servers! Maybe someone here can explain it?

(RESOLVED) PHP problems, possibly doe to the way I have to edit the software

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.1.4 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.45-log
 * URL: WikiVerse Might have to use this one

I have a Wiki that I wanted to add a user group to. After a considerable amount of confusion about LocalSettings.php, I decided to just try it, and revert the changes if it failed. What ended up happening was the group was successfully created, but it added repeated lines of "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/g/a/e/gaeamil/html/wikiverse/LocalSettings.php:2) in /home/content/g/a/e/gaeamil/html/wikiverse/includes/WebResponse.php on line 10". Also, no redirects work. I don't know about page redirects, but neither an edit nor typing in the URL without the whole ?title= bit allows you to reach a page. The second link above can send you right to the main page. I reverted every edit, and tried replacing WebResponse.php with a fresh version just downloaded from here, even though I never edited it. It may be caused by the fact that I have not found a way to replace files on my server without first deleting the old copy, thus making a gap which could have messed up the Wiki. I really wish I had editing capabilities, but I do not. Can someone help me get my wiki back to the way it was? Thank you.

 * This can be due to a space or a line break at the start of your LocalSettings.php, that will start the output and disallow any newer header to be send, be sure that there is no space nor line break (and maybe no BOM caracter). i Alex  20:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Also spaces at the end after the ?> will cause that problem, it's best to simply remove the ?> completely. --Nad 21:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll try these. When I downloaded the file, however, the line break was already there.  Maybe it's my download algorithm or something stupid like that.  Or perhaps I hit enter and never realized.
 * OK, now it says "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/g/a/e/gaeamil/html/wikiverse/LocalSettings.php on line 126", but when I look at the file, there is no "$end". -- Gaeamil --204.132.36.53 23:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Could you please paste lines 124-126 of your LocalSettings.php file here? I'm guessing it is due to some syntax error. --Skizzerz talk - contribs [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  15:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll see... I use Notepad to edit it, and it doesn't split the lines very well.  I'll just re-upload the LocalSettings file and link it, OK? LocalSettings, directly copied from the wiki--204.132.36.53 00:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Wait, you use Notepad to edit the file? That may explain your issues then. Notepad usually adds a BOM character, which messes up the PHP file. Try using a different text editing program (I use Notepad++, but it's up to you really) and see if that helps. --Skizzerz talk - contribs  MediaWiki Support Team  01:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Er, I don't have another. Perhaps I could use a Hex editor.  It shows the ASCII version...  I just need to know what needs to be done to get this back to how it was before.--Gaeamil --204.132.36.53 01:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Notepad++ is downloadable here, or if you can't/don't want to download and install a new program, Windows WordPad does not attach BOMs to files. Also, you will need to use a hex editor to remove the BOM from the file. --Skizzerz talk - contribs [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  04:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, so you know, I truly have no clue what I'm doing here. Is it possible to just get someone to fix the file, or at least give me a full step-by-step? --Gaeamil--204.132.36.104 07:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello. If I had to create, say, 15 or 1500 pages, I would do this directly by MySQL. The procedure ist not so difficult, you have to use the INSERT syntax two times:

 * INSERT INTO page SET page_title = "..... put here your page title ...";
 * YOU NEED: SSH access, MySQL access.

 * If I recall correctly there is some sort of conflict with PHP 6, although that may just be due to the build the person used. Otherwise I don't see why PHP 6 won't work.

 * Run the updateSearchIndex.php maintenance script. Emufarmers 02:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

That didn't work for imported pages as these pages were not selected during the run of the updateSearchIndex.php. The problem seems to be in the SELECT statement in updateSearchIndex.inc where "iaisrecentchanges" and "iaispage" tables are matched up to find the pages to be updated. The original SELECT statement is SELECT ... FROM $recentchanges JOIN $page on    rc_cur_id=page_id AND rc_this_oldid=page_latest and since an imported page has a clean slate of attributes, they are NOT selected.

Looking at the actual attributes in the imported pages, rc_last_oldid is always set to 0, thus by changing the SELECT statement to SELECT ... FROM $recentchanges JOIN $page on     rc_cur_id=page_id AND (rc_this_oldid=page_latest OR rc_last_oldid=0) then those imported pages are also selected.

I also believe that newer versions of mediawiki might have fixed this.

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.2.0-8+etch10 (apache2handler)

 * URL: BromWiki

Hi Folks,

I have just upgraded my old 1.4 mediwiki to the recent version 1.12.0 and still having some minor troubles to fully understand the new user permission system. I have left most permission to the default settings. My changes in the LocalSettings.php are as followed: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true; /** Show the amount of changed characters in recent changes */ $wgRCShowChangedSize			= false;
 * 1) Restrict editing by all non-sysop users

My question: How can I get anonymous users to see the recent changes ? When I log in, I can see them, but a default visitor sees nothing.

I did not change the DefaultSettings.php, so $wgGroupPermissions['*'   ]['read']            = true;

is still the rule. Which variable do I have to change ?  THX allready in advance, Timm from germany

—85.216.119.59 17:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Although I do not know exactly what you have to change, I went to your site. On the recent changes page, there was the text "Below are the last 0 changes in the last 0 days."  So somewhere it's set to show the 0 most recent changes.  And so it does. Clicking "show last 50", for example, causes the changes to appear. Smaug  [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] 20:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Smaug, THX for your answer
 * Maybe I did not express exactly what I meant. I know of course that button, but is there a variable where I can set that default value to for instance 7 days ? If I remember correctly in the older versions by clicking on the "recent changes" button as a anonymous user the wiki has allways shown the changes of the last week. A lot of those folks who are visiting my wiki are not very familiar with this software. And if they just click "recent changes" and see nothing, they leave. I have checked the manual here allready but I cannot find any that helps.
 * Timm


 * Hi to all, I found the solution. One needs to edit the LocalSettings.php and add the following lines:

$wgDefaultUserOptions = array( 	'rcdays' 		=> 7, 	'rclimit' 		=> 50, );

 * $wgUser, like all others global objects, is defined in includes/Setup.php which is included after LocalSettings.php. Extensions can use rights to allow only some users to use them though. <font color="#66A7CC">i <font color="#9966CC">Alex  19:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Strange behaviour after install, PHP problem?

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45
 * URL: http://www.mikakunii.net/mikawiki

A very strange behaviour of wiki after install: articles are not shown at all although content is present: try edit to see that its present, or follow http://www.mikakunii.net/MikaWiki that is working on the same database (that 2nd wiki was istalled after that problem did appear on the 1st).

During install process I had some warnings ( intall_log.txt for complete reference): I tried asking my hosting service assistance and they told me that the cause maybe was more due an error configuring mediawiki than a server problem. I installed same version on a localhost doing the same install procedure and everything has gone well so I suppose its a PHP error and not a configuration error, maybe am I wrong? I don't think its a mysql issue as the 2nd installation of mediawiki works good on the same database. And as the install procedure build everything was necessary I thought also its more concerning PHP than a installation error itself.

Notice warning during install procedure:

Warning: is_dir: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/opt/pieroni/php5/session) is not within the allowed path(s):(/var/www/vhosts/mikakunii.net/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/mikakunii.net/httpdocs/mikawiki/config/index.php on line 438 Warning: Your session.save_path value (/opt/pieroni/php5/session) appears to be invalid or is not writable. PHP needs to be able to save data to this location for correct session operation.

Maybe this is the main problem or a sign of a lack of PHP config on server? Please help me, thank you. I tried to do my best... but can't solve this alone. --Federicodip 18:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Assuming you're running PHP as an Apache module, the Apache user needs to be able to read the entire /mediawiki directory. /var/www is usually owned by the Apache user anyway, but if not, make it readable to all:
 * If you're in a multi-user environment, then you should be a bit more cautious:

How to Avoid 'Login Required' Error page.
I've setup a private internal mediawiki with users unable to create accounts (admin only). I can't figure out how to avoid (or redirect) the 'Login Required' error page and have the Login page (Special:Userlogin) be the first page up (and then modify its text to welcome users, etc).
 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version: 5.0.67

The only suggestion I've found is to use this in LocalSettings.php :<BR> $wgRedirectMustLogin = true;<BR> $wgRedirectLoggedIn = true;<BR> neither of which work (though I did manage to redirect the useless 'you are now logged in' page to the main page).

Or, perhaps there's a way to include login within the MainPage? (and then whitelist the main page)

I'm a beginner, thanking you in advance!

In my whole life I only wrote a few lines of php code. So I don't know much about php code but anyway I looked into the code:

First I read on the internet, that the ArrayIterator constructor is not public and you have to use getIterator on an ArrayObject. But if it is still true, I'm confused most ppl have no problems.

But there is more. “return new ArrayIterator( explode( $separator, $subject ) )” looks like endless recursion.

dumpBackup.php error - tries to use root even with LocalSettings.php

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14
 * PHP version: 5.1.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45
 * URL: Intranet only

I have a AdminSettings.php in my maintenance folder (created from the template in the wiki directory) that contains database connection user and password. The scripts in the Maintenance folder that I have tried run successfully, including scripts that seem to be getting information from the database, however dumpBackup.php will not run successfully.

When I run  it says. It is not getting the db connection information from AdminSettings.php. AdminSettings.php is owned by apache:apache, and I have tried setting to 660, 770, 666, 777, with no change. It is now set back to 600, and other scripts seem to be still working fine.

I have got around the issue by placing $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword lines (copied exactly from AdminSettings.php) directly into a copy of dumpBackup.php. It then works fine.

Any ideas why it won't work as it's intended to?

Blank login page and php error cannot redeclare class skintemplate

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.77
 * URL: Internal Only

I'm outside of my scope of experience here so please phrase your answers without assuming I know lots of things (I haven't even really begun to understand the levels of dependencies).

I have successfully installed Mediawiki on a local box and had successfully created and edited some pages. I had also successfully uploaded images to some of those pages.

All of a sudden whenever I try to upload an images I get told I have to login, however when I go to the login/create account page it's just blank.

I checked the httpd logs and found the following message......

[error] [client 192.168.1.12] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class SkinTemplate in /var/www/html/wiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 997, referer: http://192.168.1.240/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=someimage.jpg

I've looked at SkinTemplate.php and line 997 doesn't have a redeclare command (I'm not really sure what this is doing as this is well outside my experience zone)...

The code block near to line 997 is......

However it's the very last } that's actually on line 997, I'm assuming that the last } causes the commands to be executed and that's why the error is flagging up there.

If anyone could give me some pointers I'd be very grateful as I'm stuck here and because I don't understand the dependencies I could spend hours trying to solve what may be a trivial fault.

Thanks in advance.

Fatal error when trying to create a modified monobook theme

What I am trying to accomplish is to create a slightly modified version of the monobook theme. Steps: 1) I made a copy of the Monobook.php, MonoBook.deps.php, and monobook folder. 2) Replaced all instances of 'Monobook' or 'monobook' (aware of case-sensitivity) with 'Greencurrent' or 'greencurrent' within the copied files and renamed the files themselves.

The result is a fatal error:

I got this error on my FreeBSD 7.1 system, directly after moving the LocalSettings.php file. The solution provided in this section did not solve the problem in my case.
 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.8
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67
 * URL: internal link

I edited the StringUtils.php page from line 179 to skip using the ArrayIterator. I edited the 'else' part to test.

Note that my wiki shows at this point. Before I only got a browser http 500 error message with the fatal error in the (apache22) web server error log.

I noticed also the class for the ArrayIterator is not present in the file like the class for ExplodeIterator.

Now I can see the main page, but it only shows the main heading and it looks I can edit but not save the edited pages (or the fonts are white?) In the error log I notice more errors.

Hope part of this info helps finding out the actual problem here.

 * Your MediaWiki installation is in a folder somewhere, call it path/to/mw. Within that folder, MediaWiki is organised into a number of folders, like /includes, /api, etc.  One of these folders is called /config, and contains your newly-created LocalSettings.php.  You need to move this file from path/to/mw/config/LocalSettings.php to path/to/mw/LocalSettings.php to complete the installation. This is a security check to ensure that the person installing the wiki has shell access to the web server. Hope this clarifies. Happy ‑ melon 17:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

[RESOLVED] Using MediaWiki 1.15.0 with PHP 5.3.0

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.0
 * PHP version: 5.3.0
 * MySQL version:
 * URL: http://www.50er-forum.de

I'm using MediaWiki 1.15.0. The server, on which my MediaWiki is installed, has been updated to PHP 5.3.0 and now I have some trouble with it. Before the PHP update all URLs had the usual structure like http://www.50er-forum.de/wiki/index.php/Hauptseite. But now all URLs have this structure: http://www.50er-forum.de/wiki/index.php?title=Hauptseite.

If one manually enters the URL of a subpage like http://www.50er-forum.de/wiki/index.php/Subpage, he's automatically redirected to the Main Page (http://www.50er-forum.de/wiki/index.php?title=Hauptseite).

So, the former structure of the URLs before the PHP update doesn't work anymore as it did before.

Is this a general problem of MediaWiki 1.15.0 with PHP 5.3.0 or do only I in my wiki have that problem?

Thanks in advance. --Plati123 16:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I already mentioned my problem at MediaWiki Users, but I'm really going nuts here. I checked like every mkdir permission problem known to Google and I just don't know what to do anymore.

Background
I just moved my wiki family (5 installations: 4 language versions (MediaWiki 1.14) and one pool wiki (MediaWiki 1.13) for files) to a new server. On the old server everything worked fine.

On the old server I exported the MySQL databases via phpMyAdmin (with complete inserts).

I downloaded all files from the old wiki installations via ftp and uploaded everything to the new server and imported the databases via

Environment
Each wiki has a subdomain like wikipedia.org does (I'm using the same IP for each subdomain and <VirtualHost> in the httpd.conf)
 * OpenBSD 4.5
 * Apache 1.3
 * PHP 5.2.8 (with enabled GD support, safe_mode	is off)
 * MySQL 5.0.77

Permissions

 * Every wiki directory including files is owned by the Apache user and group (www:www)
 * The images directory (including subdirectories) of the pool wiki is 777, the files are 644

Configuration
The LocalSettings.php of the pool wiki looks like this:

The LocalSettings.php of each language version looks like this:

Pool wiki

 * If I go to Special:UncategorizedFiles every thumbnail shows up 95 pixels width (95px-file.jpg)
 * If I resize an image to 123px, it creates the 123px-file.jpg so everything works fine here

Language versions
Warning: mkdir [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /path/to/wiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 2012
 * If I load an article with an image thumb that has not been accessed before on the pool wiki, I get a blue link showing File:name.jpg
 * If the file has been loaded on the pool wiki before, I can see the image in thumbnail size, but it's actually the original size (just resized via HTML) and I get the following error:
 * If I press reload the error is gone (the thumbnail is still not really resized, just via HTML).
 * If I load the same site in a different browser, the error is back again.
