Config does not see MySQL when DBMS server is installed as RPM

Hello,

My environment: Mediawiki v 1.15.3, PHP v 5.2.13 on RHEL 4

Mediawiki config 'Checking Environment' cannt see MySQL. This is installed as an RPM. Is it that the config expects it to be in /usr/local... ?

How can I tell the config that MySQL is in as an RPM?

Thanks

 * You need to install the MySQL extension for PHP. It could be called php-mysql or something like that. Max Semenik 15:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Here's this MediaWiki 1.15.4 Installation

Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

Happens as soon as I goto the /wiki/config/index.php page to try to install, I have no idea what's going on or if I don't have full access to install the software, no clue, hope someone can help me out.

 * Apparently, you failed to upload all files, check that the aforementioned file exists and webserver has permissions to access it. Max Semenik 09:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Installing Mediawiki
I want to install Mediawiki. It appears: Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly. It seems to me that I fill all fields, but installer ask me and ask and did not say which specific field is badly filled.

 * PHP version: 5.2.5
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51
 * URL: localhost

 * You should see an error message in red near the field that needs to be filled. Max Semenik 09:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I know! I pass own database root password, but password mu be as it is currently in XAMPP. In XAMPP inicjally name root is 'root' and password is empty. I install.--Borneq 09:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Liste der letzten Änderungen "leeren"
Hallo, ich führe in meiner Wiki ein paar Tests durch und ich möchte nicht, dass man später noch diese Änderungen "zurückverfolgen" kann. Kann man also einfach die Liste der letzten Änderungen leeren ?ℜepress 08:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Salu, nein, das geht leider nicht "einfach", nur umständlich: Entweder Du markierst die Test-Edits in der History als "zeige/verstecke" ($wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['deleterevision'] = true; setzen), wobei die Versionen allerdings immer noch auftauchen, z. B. als übersprungen beim Versions-Vergleich, oder Du schmeißt die fraglichen Edits über ihre Versions-ID zuerst ins Archiv (→ deleteRevision.php) und dann endgültig über Bord (→ deleteArchivedFiles.php). All das ist mir immer zu umständlich, daher mache ich meine Experimente immer auf einer lokalen Parallel-Installation. Grüße --Robis 04:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

How uninstall Mediawiki
I install Mediawiki local in XAMPP directory C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\ How uninstall ?, only deleting C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki directory be enough?

 * Hi there, no, you also have to delete the database content. In XAMPP the MySQL database tables are usually stored in /xampp/mysql/data/mediawiki (or what you might have named your project). The more correct way, however, is to delete the database table over the phpMyAdmin backend. If you want to keep your XAMPP installation this is the recommendable method.

Copyrighted (non-free) content on a MediaWiki-powered wiki

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.4
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (litespeed)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.91-community-log
 * URL: http://gallifreybase.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Is it possible to use MediaWiki software for a database which will consist largely of non-free content? In installation, the only options are no license metadata, Creative Commons, GFDL or public domain. I've been asked to help with a wiki that the owners may wish to use to organize copyrighted content (with the permission of the copyright holder). Is it possible to use MediaWiki software without making all the content free? —Josiah Rowe 01:38, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I have a new project with Mediawiki..But I need some helps.
Hi! I have a new project with Mediawiki..But I need some helps. How can I change interface like your homepage? I want to create frontpage like Wikipedia.

How can I include advanced content editor like your content editor?

Please check my child project: http://www.islamvebiz.net/saadetepedia/index.php/Ana_sayfa

Thank you.

Bulent Turgut

Also I put here my old writings with Mr.Diego. But we couldn't solve problems.

Please read my opinions and way of steps on trying to solve problems...

Writings:


 * See Extension:UsabilityInitiative and follow the steps to install it, then you will be able to setup the 'advanced content editor'. To set up the Vector skin, you must update your MediaWiki installation to the last trunk version of the software. Cheers, Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 22:35, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Diego. But where will I put this codes in? In localsettings.php? I tried somethings, but site gone away!

Please advise me somethings..

OK. I suggest to download the packages that appear there. Don't forget to backup! Then, extract the files of MediaWiki 1.16alpha on the path of your current installation of MediaWiki. After that, if you have shell access, go to "maintenance/" and run "php update.php". After you have successfully updated MediaWiki, extract the MediaWiki extensions in "extensions/". Add to your LocalSettings.php:

Also, to set up Vector (Wikipedia's skin) as the main skin of your wiki (be sure to have updated the wiki as I explained before), change:

...that is located in your LocalSettings.php. If you don't understand, don't bother to ask again! Cheers, Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 01:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Diego,

Thank you for your support.

I donwloaded: Alpha 1.6v + All MediaWiki extensions

I upload Mediawiki to my host and installed it. Also I uploaded extensions to my host, and is opened it in extensions directory.

Added lines below to Localsettings.php in root for editor:

require_once("$IP/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php");

$wgWikiEditorModules['toc']['global'] = true; // Enable the TOC for everyone

$wgWikiEditorModules['toc']['user'] = false; // Don't allow users to turn the TOC on/off individually

Checked line below to Localsettings.php in root for skin:

$wgDefaultSkin = "monobook";

Result as:

http://www.islamvebiz.net/saadetepedia/index.php/Ana_sayfa

Same it.. Nothings are changed!

What must I do?

Thanks

I want these:

[IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/2i94e2s.jpg[/IMG]

Need to run update.php for finishing? If it is necessary, how can I finish to setup?

I changed skin as Vector.

But I couldn't change editor.. I installed wiki in subdirectory. I have tried to change this line:

require_once("$IP/saadetepedia/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php");

But nothing..

It isn't working because you are using "/saadetepedia". Please remove that and use:

require_once("extensions/UsabilityInitiative/WikiEditor/WikiEditor.php");

This time will work, unless your "extensions" directory is located somewhere else. --Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 21:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I tried both of 2 ways: with /ssadetepedia and non.. it is not working..

Now it is included under all codes of localsettings.php:

Need any permissions?
 * No it doesn't. Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 22:06, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Try without the $IP thing. Diego Grez ¡hablemos! 22:09, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

No any new action.. Same it.. I don't understand why is shown editor?

Also my admin login is rejected. There is an error:

"Login error: There is an error with login attempt.. Please go bak, refresh your page, and try again later"

(I traslated from Turkish)

"Oturum açma hatası. Giriş oturumunuzla ilgili bir sorun var gibi görünüyor; bu eylem, oturum gaspına karşı önlem olarak iptal edildi. Lütfen "geri" gidin ve geldiğiniz sayfayı yeniden yükleyin, sonra tekrar deneyin. "

Also I have tried to crate a new user.. It gave me same message like above..

Thanks..
