Thumb and pixel options have no effect when embedding images
I am running MediaWIKI 1.9.3 on IIS6, PHP 5.2.1, MySQL 4.1.22, and everything working as expected including ImageMagick.

But when I embed an image into an article and use the |thumb or |200px options with the image they have no effect. The |frame option works perfectly, as do |right, |left, etc. and the alt text options.

To confirm ImageMagick works, if I access a category that contains images, ImageMagick successfully thumbnails these automatically (when I put a typo into the $wgImageMagickConvertCommand value, this thumbnailing fails with an appropriate error), so I know this works OK.

Just can't understand why the |thumb and |200px options don't work - do these even use the ImageMagick convert application?

Can anyone help find the cause of this, or know a fix please?

Thanks, Ben.

I have also the same problem when I resize images like "image:learn.jpg|300px" it doesn't show any image (thumbs) and doesn't give me any error ...just an empty rectangle of the thumb size (300px) with X sign at the top left of that empty rectangle !!! .... I tried something I found in one of the forums, to commented these lines (in \wiki\includes\Image.php):

And instead add this : $cmd = $wgImageMagickConvertCommand. " -quality 85 -background white -geometry {$width} ". ($this->imagePath). " " . ($thumbPath); It works with them but didn't work with me!!!
 * 1) $cmd = $wgCustomConvertCommand;
 * 2) $cmd = str_replace( '%s', $src, str_replace( '%d', $dst, $cmd ) ); # Filenames
 * 3) $cmd = str_replace( '%h', $height, str_replace( '%w', $width, $cmd ) ); # Size

directory I found thumbs with the sizes I've tried on. and the whole directory that contains the the "convert" ....    which is the right path to the thumb
 * I'm sure that the converter works because when I opened the image/thumb
 * I gave permission for both the IUSR_* and IWAM_* on both the Image directory
 * and when I view the source of the page, the path of the thumb is

waiting for your help regards, Butmah

Similiar problem for me. Error message in place of the thumbnail: "/usr/bin/convert: Unrecognized option (-thumbnail)"
 * SuSE Linux 8.2 (Shared Hosting, no root access)
 * Apache/1.3.36 (Unix) PHP/5.2.0 with Suhosin-Patch FrontPage/5.0.2.4803 mod_fastcgi/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202 mod_ssl/2.8.27 OpenSSL/0.9.6i
 * MySQL 5.0.22
 * Path ImageMagick 5.5.4: /usr/bin/, Path Convert (ImageMagick): /usr/bin/convert
 * MediaWiki 1.9.3, AddHandler php-fastcgi .php .php4

Upload and everything else goes. Strange is that I use a MediaWiki 1.6.5 system on the same hosting where thumbnailing works. I was not able in the last hours to find a solution even searching all the web and are now frustrated.

Thanks for indications. Chrus. 2007-04-29

High CPU usage
I'm using Mediawiki on "Second Life Italia" website (secondlifeitalia.com), it's working fine but CPU usage on the web server is TOO high. Any page request require 20%-50% on w3wp.exe; same situation with Apache for Windows (httpd.exe). On the other hand, MySQL load is really low and at normal levels. Turning caching on/off seems to change anything. What I can do? Thank you in advance.

Error in Setup.php
Hi all,

I have a problem. I get this error on the top of the page: "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach in /data/web/mysite/www/wiki/includes/Setup.php on line 94" Please help me, what can be the problem? --Erdsiger 09:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * What is line 94 of /data/web/mysite/www/wiki/includes/Setup.php in your case? robchurch | talk 15:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

These are the lines: 87 # Useful debug output 88 if ( $wgCommandLineMode ) { 89 	wfDebug( "\n\nStart command line script $self\n" ); 90 } elseif ( function_exists( 'getallheaders' ) ) { 91 	wfDebug( "\n\nStart request\n" ); 92 	wfDebug( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] .

 * Seems like getallheaders is returning nothing, which might be a bug, or a configuration issue. However, the code above does not need to be successful in order for MediaWiki to run, as it's for debugging purposes. You could comment out lines 88 through 100 inclusive and see if things work after that. robchurch | talk 14:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the comment works! I hope there won't be any other problem. Thanks for your help! --Erdsiger 20:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The user.frm part of the error changes randomly between user.frm, job.frm and page.frm

Any ideas? It seems there's a whole bunch of questions on here and very little in the way of support. Do we take it that mediawiki is unsupported software? I'll encourage people to avoid using it if that's the case.


 * Nice attitude. The implication from the error above is that one or more tables in the database have become corrupted, which means there's a MySQL issue, so visit http://www.mysql.org or search the web, e.g. . robchurch | talk 14:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Spider (Swish-E or other external program) Authentication on MediaWiki
Hello -- I am attempting to use Swish-E to spider a local MediaWiki-based intranet that uses default database authentication to access its pages. I am trying to figure out a way to authenticate the spider (so it can proceed with the spider job) without having to whip up something special inside of the wiki (the installation doesn't "belong" to me). (The spider software saves cookies, btw).

The MediaWiki login page uses a POST method -- a GET-based alternative may work, but can't find any info on it.

Does anyone have any advice as to an approach?

thanks Robin

User.php customisation
I've added some checks on user credentials to loadFromDatabase in Users.php, but right at the start of that function, there's this check: if ( $this->mDataLoaded ) { return; } I'm returning at this point every time - even masquerading as different users and even at the first login after a reboot!. This variable is set further down the function, but I can't find out how it's reset - obviously I could do some dirty hacking, but I'd prefer to get a better understanding of what's going on and "do the right thing".

I'd be grateful for some enlightenment!

How to Dump Raw Wiki text from an Extension??

I want all 4 headers to be in the page's table of contents. I am able to display the header that the extension returns but it doesnt show up in the table of contents.. Any ideas?? Ex.)

Is it possible build a structured wiki with the MediaWiki application?
We are evaluating MediaWiki as a possible candidate for managing the documents of our projects (we are a small University lab). We like the "wikiness" of Mediawiki, it is fast, simple, traceable and very elegant. Our goal is to have several projects with collaborative documents, with separate editors in each. But we don't know if it is possible to structure minimally the contents with Mediawiki (like TWiki do). For instance, assign editors, contributors and readers to each project (we have 5/6 project every two years).

Best regards, M. F. Technical University of Catalonia (www.upc.es)


 * What do you mean by "structure"? It sounds like you are talking about access control; Basically, MediaWiki is designed to be open, not restrictive, and access control is contrary to the concept of a wiki. Restricting access is possible to some extend, but see Manual:Preventing access for the gory details. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 10:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Duesentrieb for your wiki aswer. Our work is a colaborative research (and open to all comunity when it is finished) but it needs some basic access control when this work is not concluded or non-tested. A question that is important to me is how to prevent that a mediawiki category can be readed for non-registerd users?

MediaWiki and SAML
I am researching if MediaWiki might be suitable for a central wiki service at the University of Oslo.

Has this been tried anywhere?

Searching for IP Addresses
Hi,

we use mediawiki for internal documentation. Is there a way to search for ip addresses? I know, there are lots of them, but the dot between the numbers splits up my searchstring. So, if i search for 192.168.1.1 there is found everything, what contains "192", "168" and "1". :-(

Any hints for me?

Embedded objects. Is it possible?
Is there any way to embed objects like videoclip from Youtube, video.google, etc. into a mediawiki document (or maybe using one of others wiki-engines)  ?

External access problems
I've just installed MediaWiki and it works fine within my local network. However when I try and access the Wiki externally from work I can get access by going to the ip address and then ~jamessutton/wiki/index.php/Main_Page but if I try and get access by going to the ip address and then ~jamessutton/wiki/ without the index.php?Main_Page I get redirected to www.james-sutton.local. Does anyone know why I get redirected to this local network name on my iMac? My ip address gets generated dynamically so I was wondering whether this might be the cause.


 * In all likelihood, MediaWiki is pulling a value for ServerName</tt> from the Apache configuration which isn't working outside of the local network, which causes problems when the page is redirected to a canonical location. You could attempt to set $wgServer</tt> in LocalSettings.php</tt> to the external IP address and see if it helps. robchurch | talk 14:18, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

session.save_path read/write/exe errors
I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.10 on a Fedora Core Server and I keep getting the good old error

"Your session save path appears to be invalid or is not writable. PHP needs to be able to save data to this location in order for correct session operation. Please check that session.save_path in PHP.ini points to a valid path, and is read/write/execute for the user your web server is running under."

I have checked the session.save_path and the folder it points to and they are setup correct. The file has read/write/exe privs (777) and I still get this error. Any ideas.

I have the same problem at my server and I just commented out section where this is checked. It's in config/index.php and starts with else { # Something not right? Halt the installation so the user can fix it up dieout( "Your session save path appears to be invalid or is not writable. ... } Installation proceeds and wiki seems to work ok (well I have problem with edit link, which is producing blank page, but I don't think it's because of session.save_path)

Reloading
I have installed Mediawiki 1.6.10 because of the PHP 4 compatible server. And it's a free server, and they have a software not to allow users to hide their ad banner on the top of the page. So Mediawiki is constantly reloading, because it wants a whole window. I heard that at e107 there is a command, which is causing the same problem:

if(parent.frames[0]) { parent.location.href = self.location.href; }

But I couldn't find similar among 1.6.10 files. What should I do now?


 * In your file, find the following:

// Un-trap us from framesets if (window.top != window) window.top.location = window.location;
 * And remove it. After that, clear your cache (ctrl+f5, shift+f5 or some other key combination), then things should work properly. — color probe — <strong style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(130,130,30);">Talk  — <sup style="vertical-align: super; font-size: 60%;">Contribs  <font face="times new roman" style="font-face: times;">☼  15:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

And I'm using a Hungarian version of 1.6.10, and there are many small bugs, and the translation is incomplete at all despite 1.9.3 is really much better. Is there a chance to create an improved version of Mediawiki for PHP 4 servers? I know that it's not the least technology, but many server hosts don't like to update their system to PHP 5, telling that it's not enough stable (even though they're not true at all).

I managed to show php errors, but there were none! (I tested it by inserting one and it was shown). Since I don't have access to apache error logs, I had to debug it by inserting echo "I'm here"; into the code line by line. I got to the Skin class and it's static method newFromKey where there is require_once( "{$wgStyleDirectory}/{$skinName}.php" );. It produces path "/home/www/calavera.info/www/wiki.calavera.info/skins/MonoBook.php", but if I insert echo at the first line of this file, it's not shown. I discovered that the file path is ok, because when I insert a wrong one, page displays error message. Well, I can't do anything more:-(.

I tried it again, having some idea, but now I could get over MonoBook.php! It was great until I found out, that the order of function calls is not same as in previous test. It's really silly and I don't have a time for debugging it this way...ohhh.

With the browsers I get 404 errors and with the programs I get PROPFIND errors. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying the address http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/


 * Works fine for me - maybe it was a temporary problem? Anyway, note that with Subversion itself, you need to use the plain repository url: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/ -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 11:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It's still not working for me. It hasn't been for over a week now and I just don't understand why. I'm now trying to use the plain repository address and I still get PROPFIND errors in Subversion/TortoiseSVN

Do you normally access the web via a proxy? If so, then you will need to tweak the configuration of the Subversion client to ensure that this happens.

For the command-line client, edit the Subversion configuration file (under Windows, this will be somewhere under your Application Data directory, under Unix or Linux, it'll be in ~/.svn</tt>.

For TortoiseSVN, bring up the configuration window and locate the Network tab. robchurch | talk 14:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

How to import posts articles from other forums
How can i import articles and posts from other forums or blogs (wordpress or sth) totaly automating the process, which can work as a bot, a extentions that can work like automatic content filler..


 * Well, MediaWiki is a wiki engine that provides free-form page creation. This model doesn't quite mesh with forums or blog engines. You'll need to explain exactly how you envision this working.


 * Ultimately, you're looking at writing some sort of custom maintenance script to process some kind of dump from the forum/blog and create appropriate pages in the wiki. robchurch | talk 14:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

How to emulate environment for running Mediawiki
I'm quite sure that my poor technical skills will take me a lot of time to learn how to use mediawiki, so before i start running it on a real server, i'd like to make a try on local harddisk. Are there programs that can emulate mysql or linux on WinXP? Thanks a lot! --Zozzen 20:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Opps. I got the answer from google for this question. We can install wampserver to emulate the environment. --Zozzen 09:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Cost of hosting mediawiki?
I plan to make a personal-funded wiki. Could anyone share how much you've spent on running a Wiki project? Generally, for a niche site that may attract a few thousand visitors daily, how much does it cost? Thx again! --Zozzen


 * Peter Blaise responds: It's kind of up to your ISP host's cost/pricing scheme, if they charge for data storage volume, data transfer rate per period peak and/or average, and the amount of traffic you get and how much they actually browse once at your site. 1,000 visitors only looking at the home page text versus 1,000 visitors browsing dozens of image-laden pages are very different loads.  Generally, MediaWiki installations are very efficient because the database is incredibly small compared to hard-wired HTML pages of equivalent content, but content and visitor activity is NOT equivalent or comparable across all MediaWiki installations.  I have a mere 45 pages with an incredible 500,000 words (long articles) and no images.  The next install may have 300 pages and "only" 250,000 words but 800 pictures in thumbnail and full size.  Either one of us could get 1,000 visitors a day who stay and read and edit and upload a lot (big load), or only read one article and leave (small load).  Storage requirements are different for each of these example sites, and who knows how to anticipate load?  But it's a good question.  I suppose everyone could respond here and try to list their particulars and then we can see if there's a predictable pattern.  What would we measure?
 * Page count/word count
 * Database size (database size grows due to edit archives even if viewable article contents remains constant)
 * Image count and storage size
 * Visitors per day/length of stay
 * Data throughput per day
 * Are there other measurable criteria? Once there are a few responses, Zozzen, you may be able to see if your planned site corresponds to the measurements of someone else's site, and plan from there.  C'mon, everyone, let's build a MediaWiki Traffic Report page somewhere and fill it up. -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 11:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Cost depends on server equipment and bandwidth. If managing your own server, this normally means the cost of the initial box plus additional RAM and storage as time progresses, as well as racking and bandwidth costs. In a shared hosting environment, charges are usually levied for storage and bandwidth exclusively.

You need to determine roughly how popular you feel your wiki is going to be, initially, and work out whether shared hosting is sufficient, or whether it's worth looking into something with a bit more control, such as VPS, dedicated server or plain old colocation. If traffic and wiki size increase, then your needs will typically grow. robchurch | talk 14:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Peter and Robchurch, thanks a lot! I'm currently not quite sure the future traffic. Some plans offer me unlimited storage but limited data transmission(like http://www.siteground.com/), some others offer unlimited transmission but only a few GB storage. I think i'll choose the later one first, as i expect the image size of my wiki won't be really big. --Zozzen 18:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

toolbar edit ?
After installing MediaWiki for the first time, the toolbar edit doesn't exist. I check in preferences if I put show toolbar. I test with Konqueror 3.5.5, Internet Explorer 6, iceweasel 2.0.0.2 but it doesn't works. Have you an idea ? Thank you very much for your help.


 * Peter Blaise asks: What's a "toolbar"? -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 13:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

When you edit this page, you can use the toolbar edit which permits to have bold or italic text, to add external or internal links... I don't have this toolbar when I edit pages from my wiki. I don't understand why! Have you an advice, please? Thank you.


 * Peter Blaise responds: Yes, I'd call it a "toolbar" also, though "edit toolbar" is probably more unambiguously accurate, and you did say "toolbar edit". What does MediaWiki call it?  I can find no "names of parts" display on MediaWiki.org.  For instance, when the screen says "navigation" that's the "sidebar", and when we click on "discussion" that's the "talk" page.  So, I'm not sure how to help you find the answer you seek since I cannot even finds common "MediaWiki" words to describe your problem!  Sorry.  Anyone else? Without knowing the MediaWiki names for parts, how can we search for solutions? -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 14:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it is called the Edit Toolbar (see meta:Customizing:Edit Toolbar) SCEhardt 02:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Peter Blaise responds; FOUND IT: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit_toolbar ! I'm confused - what's "meta"? (http://meta.wikimedia.org/) What's "wikimedia"? (http://www.wikimedia.org/)  I'm continuously lost trying to organize the various resources locations, let alone the names of parts of the software itself!  Are YOU having any luck, iceweasal?  At this point, I'd recommend remove and reinstall until you get a working MediaWiki (the product - http://www.mediawiki.org/).  Please report back what solves your missing "edit toolbar" - let us know what you find.  Thanks.  -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 11:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * FYI meta.wikimedia.org is the old location of the site / information about the software MediaWiki. It is gradually being moved over to here, www.mediawiki.org, the new location.  Since that process takes time, some documentation is still present on meta. --Dr DBW 23:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * … and, not to forget, have a look at Glossary or its "old" shorter version to complete the confusion ;-) -- :Bdk: 23:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Peter Blaise says: My install if MediaWiki has NO word "toolbar" in any file. Where'd you put show toolbar in preferences?  Please follow up and share how you resolved this - thanks.  -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 11:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm. It's possible the edit toolbar is incompatible with some versions of Konqueror, but it should work fine with IceWeasel (Mozilla) and Internet Explorer, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. What version of MediaWiki is this? Do other edit toolbars on other wikis work, e.g. on this wiki? robchurch | talk 14:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Peter Blaise says: Hi again, sachin. Do you have a web server installed?  Have you installed Microsoft IIS first?  IIS is not installed by default out of the box on new computers, but through the Windows Start / Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs / Add-Remove Windows Components you should see "Internet Information Services (IIS)" - you may need your original Windows Server 2003 Installation CD - I copy the \i386 directory from the CD to the hard drive as C:\i386 - your computer maker may have already done so.  You need to install a web server first (and reboot?).  Install Microsoft's IIS web server OR install free Apache web server from http://www.apache.org/.  If you have installed IIS and still cannot get to the controls as directed by

hi peter,

i am now stucked on step no:6. can you help.

Can I setup the Wiki before the domain is registered?
I keep getting "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page" after the setup of mediawiki-1.6.10 has been completed. Can this be caused by the fact that my domain has not been registered yet? Setup was run from the number-address instead, which didn't lead to any error messages. I tried pasting the full number-address into the LocalSettings, but that made no difference. 62.251.30.182 22:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Peter Blaise asks: How are you trying to access the Wiki computer?


 * (a) To access the Wiki computer from the computer itself, in your browser, use http://localhost or, the Network ID, for example, http://joespentium or http://ws01419


 * (b) To access the wiki computer from an intranet computer that is networked to the wiki computer, in your browser, use the computer's NetworkID, such as, for example, http://joespentium or http://ws01419


 * (c) To access the wiki computer from the Internet, in your browser, use the registered web address, such as http://www.yourregistereddomainname.com/ (which you say hasn't arrived yet, right?)


 * Tell us more, 62.251.30.182, and let us know how it works out for you. -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 11:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

(c), Except that like I said the domain is not registered yet, so there is no yourregistereddomainname. There is, however, a yourserveripnumber\yourcreatedaccountname, which works perfectly for ftp-ing, and where I have setup the wiki without error. But when I acces the url I get the mentiond IE error message. 62.251.30.182 18:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Peter Blaise responds: Ahh, the "more" I was asking for. So, 62.251.30.182, it seems that in your particular situation, your wiki is on a computer hosted by your domain name issuer, right?  So the question you have asked us goes best to them:
 * "How do you see stuff you upload to them before they have successfully registered your domain name through all the DNS servers in the world?"
 * Many ISP/hosts have an alternate address scheme before or underneath your domain name, such as http://yourdomainname.host.com/ or http://www.host.com/yourdomainname/ or http://www.host.com/users/~yourdomainname/ or something not pretty like that. But you may be able to figure it out.  What is the web address you used to upload your stuff in the first place?  Can you tell us that?  If you can, that may lead to a way to figure out how to see your stuff after it's uploaded.  Maybe it's at http://yourdomainname.host.com/mediawiki/ or http://www.host.com/yourdomainname/mediawiki/ or http://www.host.com/users/~yourdomainname/mediawiki/ or something like that.  Maybe you uploaded it to a non "htdocs" directory and it can't be seen because it's not part of the ISP/host sharing that will fall under your domain name!  You'll have to upload your wiki to the web sharing space they offer you, not one of the non-sharing support directories.  Tell us more - and also, tell us what the ISP/host said when you asked them the question above.  Even tell us who the ISP/host is, and maybe someone else here has experience with them!  Good luck, and please report back with details, details, details.  I find that most problems self-resolve if enough details are gathered AND SHARED in the first place!  -- Peter Blaise peterblaise 11:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Apparently I still wasn't clear enough. I can see my uploaded stuff just fine in a directory listing on http://serveripnumber/~mydomainusername/mediawiki/, and any index.html instead of index.php works properly. Note: I am using a reseller package where I can create new accounts. The ABSOLUTELY ONLY thing that does NOT work is http://serveripnumber/~mydomainusername/mediawiki/index.php after setup. 62.251.30.182 13:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Internet Explorer rapid preview/save problem
My problem is that if a user edits a page and hits Preview twice within about 8 seconds, then the preview that gets displayed is completely blank. Similarly, if they hit save within about 8 seconds of a preview, then the blank preview is shown instead of actually saving. It's fine if they wait more than 8 seconds or so and this is only a problem in Internet Explorer 6 (and 7, I think) - Firefox seems to be fine.

The same behaviour can be produced by hitting refresh on the edit page (and saying Retry to the box that pops up asking if I want to resend the data) within 8 seconds. If I then wait another 8 seconds and refresh again and the preview is shown correctly (so that data is still being kept in the browser).

I have tried playing around with the PHP cookie / session settings in php.ini (forcing cookies, no cookies, etc) to no avail.

System setup:
 * MediaWiki: 1.10.0
 * PHP: 5.2.2 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.41-community-nt
 * Apache 2.2.4 (Win32)

It might also be relevant that I'm using the mod_auth_sspi.so apache module and the auth_remoteuser.php extension.

Fixed - Error sending email: date.timezone setting
I just finished setting up MW on my local WinXP box using WAMP5. I've also sucessfully setup a local mailserver using Google Apps. Although emails are sent and recieved, I get the below error msg. when using the email confirmation special page. Where should I look and what changes should I make to correct this?

Error sending mail: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Denver' for '-6.0/DST' instead.

Thx. in advance,

Found solution over at mwuser.com. New version of PHP requires entry in PHP.INI file:

you will need to define your timezone in your php.ini using the following format: date.timezone = Europe/London

The supported timezones are listed, in this format, in the PHP manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php.
