Lost sysop access
OH CRAP!!!!! I was trying to figure out how to turn on uploads (still haven't figured that one out yet: documentation is not easily found on this site) and I accidentally killed my bureaucrat privileges on the Userrights Page. Poof! How do I restore them???? No one else is a Bureaucrat and I can't find anything on this site to help me fix this.

I'm just starting to learn the ins and now especially the outs of PHP and SQL...is there a way of fixing this in MySQL? or in one of the myriad of PHP files?

Thanks!

 * You'll need to update the database directly with the following query. First login and go to Special:Preferences to get your user id number (I've used 999 in the example below, so replace that with your own user id), then shell in to your server or do a query with whatever means you have of accessing your database. Also note that if you're using a table prefix you'll need to prepend that to the user_groups table name.

INSERT INTO user_groups (ug_user,ug_group) VALUES(999,'sysop');

Hi I have created an MediaWiki account now. IF you want to know what versions I'm on then please instruct me on how to find out. I'm worried that I have lost my database. I can see my wiki images.

Pages imported by ImportTextFile.php NOT searchable

I am using ImportTextFile.php to import a number of pages and they show up in Recent Changes.

But if I do a search on some text that I know is in the pages, the results are NOT showing them.

Is there a way that I can ensure that these pages are also searchable?

Thanks.

 * 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.

Changing sidebar according to article-language

 * MediaWiki: 1.10.1
 * PHP: 5.2.4 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.27
 * URL: www.GS-500.info

Hi,

I'm currently translating my wiki from German to both English and Spanish. I'm happy with the solution to swap between the three languages, but as I modified the sidebar: Is there any possibility to indicate the article-language and change the sidebar accordingly? I already looked at Extension:LanguageSelector, Extension:Multilang and Extension: MultiLanguageManager but they all don't seem to tackle my problem as they assume the usage of an unchanged sidebar.

Kind regards, Timo

questions
I have many questions :

- How can I create many pages automatically ? If I can't, is there another solution ? IS there a programm for injecting pages ( created by scripting shell) - How can I know all the pages depending on a page ? - How can I delete all the page created the same day ?

CheckUser weirdness - please investigate

 * MediaWiki: 1.13alpha from SVN
 * PHP:
 * MySQL:
 * URL: it's on a localhost

I got CheckUser working, as well as Oversight and Makesysop, and surprisingly, despite what the CheckUser page here tells me, I didn't need run the command-line to get it working (to be honest, though, I actually had no PHP commandline utilities on XAMPP. Just added the SQL queries, and then copied the files to extensions directory, and for some reason, it actually worked and did a query. Is this a bug or is this meant to happen?? Should this go to Bugzilla?? Thanks, AP @ —82.42.237.84 15:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

 * If you ran the SQL queries that the installation script includes, then you've done its job.


 * The non-sysop rollback functionality has been in the core code since version 1.11 (Manual:User_rights_management). Emufarmers 02:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, so doing what I did above actually gets it working and it's not a bug?? Confused. AP @ --82.42.237.84 11:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If it's actually working, then yeah. The installation script just happens to be more convenient (and less error-prone) than running the queries directly. —Emufarmers(T 01:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Subcategories with the same name

For example,I want create 3 categories: -Slackware -Ubuntu -openSuse I want,that each category must have the subcategory called "Script". But the slackware's script,must be different from ubuntu's script and suse's script. It is possible?How?

—79.3.253.38 19:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe you could just call the ubuntu subcategory "Ubuntu script" and the suse subcategory "suse script". I don't know if doing what you want to do is possible.  Is this a suitable workaround? Smaug  19:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes is a fine solution. But if I want only one category called Script foreach category(Slackware,suse,ubuntu...)it is possible?There are methods or extension that make this? thanks

Ajax Search doesn't work since 1.12.0 upgrade

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.51
 * URL: I don't have URL because it is internal

Hi all,

I've upgrade MediaWiki 1.11.2 to 1.12.0 and everything went fine until I tested the AjaxSearch. It is not working anymore. In my LocalSettings.php I have $wgAjaxSearch = true; and to be sure I added $wgUseAjax = true;. I thought the problem may have been because of the upgrade, so I did a fresh install, but this did not helped at all.

Is there something new we need to do, so that the AjaxSearch actually works? Or is there a bug. I know AjaxSearch received some bugfix since the patch 1.12.0.

Thank you for your help.

Maxime.

—199.243.65.6 14:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

It seems like we now need to activate the AjaxSearch in the preferences of the user in the Search tab... Also, the new version of this Ajax search is bugged... I'll need to use the one from 1.11 + 1.12 to have a functional Search.

 * I don't know the answer, but I must assume that since they are stored somewhere in the database, there must be some way to read them, even if it requires some decryption. Smaug 00:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki salts its MD5-hashed passwords, which, as far as I know, makes decryption impractical, if not impossible.

MediaWiki optimization

 * MediaWiki: 1.10.0
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (apache)
 * MySQL: 4.1.22-standard-log
 * URL: Fan History Wiki

My wiki had problems with pages loading where we ended up with a few thousand articles in a category. This caused these pages either not to load or to load slowly. I queried my host about this. They said, among other things:

We tested the above mentioned URLs and managed to re-create the issue on our end. It is most likely caused by the timeout settings of our shared hosting servers, especially if the problematic pages contain lots of links with reference to your application's database.

Upon further investigation, we found out that the home page of your wiki is also loading a little bit slowly, due to the 274 links on this page. It loads for more than 2 seconds locally on the server, which it should not load for more than 1 second.

We will recommend you to contact a developer which is familiar with the source code of your application and possesses the required knowledge for optimizing it. The optimization usually involves reducing the number of links on the pages, reducing the overall size of the application's database, creating indexes for each table in the database, etc.

I switched to a VPS which makes some pages which previously wouldn't load now load. I also optimized the database on phpMyAdmin. I removed a few of the extensions which were not being used actively. But if some pages link to certain categories, like Category:People, new pages won't create and will time out. What more can be done to optimize things, fix the overly large category problem or just generally make the wiki load faster? I really want to continue to grow Fan History but this has thrown me for a loop. Is this something I can fix myself?

—PurplePopple 02:29, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Your site doesn't load for me, so I can't take a look at your categories, but we just had a similar query on the MWusers forums, and the simple answer was "caching." —Emufarmers(T 05:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The whole site doesn't load or just those pages? I've added the caching elements by adding     $wgUseFileCache = true; and   $wgFileCacheDirectory = "$IP/cache"; to the local settings but it doesn't seem to make the load any faster.  I've removed a few more extensions.  I've removed Google Analytics. It is still taking about 15 seconds for me to get Category:People to load and about 3 to get the main page to load.  If I remove

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE; $wgMemCachedServers = array; $wgUseFileCache = true; $wgFileCacheDirectory = "$IP/cache";
 * 1) Shared memory settings


 * It actually seems to load a bit faster but not much. :/ (On a completely unrelated note, my host seems to have disabled image uploads...  *sighs*) --PurplePopple 12:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

An object caching system such as memcached will provide a significant performance boost, but needs to be installed. Provide the server addresses and ports in a comma-separated list.

MediaWiki can also detect and support eAccelerator, Turck MMCache, APC, and XCache, but these should not be used if the wiki will be running on multiple application servers.

DBA (Berkeley-style DB) is generally slower than using no cache at all, and is only recommended for testing. E-mail, e-mail notification and authentication setup E-mail features (global):

*   *

Use this to disable all e-mail functions (password reminders, user-to-user e-mail, and e-mail notifications) if sending mail doesn't work on your server. User-to-user e-mail:

*   *

The user-to-user e-mail feature (Special:Emailuser) lets the wiki act as a relay to allow users to exchange e-mail without publicly advertising their e-mail address. E-mail notification about changes:

*   *    *

For this feature to work, an e-mail address must be present for the user account, and the notification options in the user's preferences must be enabled. Also note the authentication option below. When testing the feature, keep in mind that your own changes will never trigger notifications to be sent to yourself.

There are additional options for fine tuning in /includes/DefaultSettings.php; copy these to your LocalSettings.php and edit them there to change them. E-mail address authentication:

*   *

If this option is enabled, users have to confirm their e-mail address using a magic link sent to them whenever they set or change it, and only authenticated e-mail addresses can receive mails from other users and/or change notification mails. Setting this option is recommended for public wikis because of potential abuse of the e-mail features above. Database config Database type: $errs[DBpicktype]\n"; ?>

If your database server isn't on your web server, enter the name or IP address here.

If you only have a single user account and database available, enter those here. If you have database root access (see below) you can specify new accounts/databases to be created. This account will not be created if it pre-exists. If this is the case, ensure that it has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE permissions on the MediaWiki database. Superuser account: checked="checked" /> Use superuser account

If the database user specified above does not exist, or does not have access to create the database (if needed) or tables within it, please check the box and provide details of a superuser account, such as root, which does.

If you need to share one database between multiple wikis, or between MediaWiki and another web application, you may choose to add a prefix to all the table names to avoid conflicts.

Avoid exotic characters; something like mw_ is good. Storage Engine Select one:

InnoDB is best for public web installations, since it has good concurrency support. MyISAM may be faster in single-user installations. MyISAM databases tend to get corrupted more often than InnoDB databases. Database character set Select one:

*   *    *

EXPERIMENTAL: You can enable explicit Unicode charset support for MySQL 4.1 and 5.0 servers. This is not well tested and may cause things to break. If upgrading an older installation, leave in backwards-compatible mode.

The username specified above (at "DB username") will have its search path set to the above schemas, so it is recommended that you create a new user. The above schemas are generally correct: only change them if you are sure you need to.

Installation successful!

To complete the installation, please do the following:

1. Download config/LocalSettings.php with your FTP client or file manager 2. Upload it to the parent directory 3. Delete config/LocalSettings.php 4. Start using your wiki!

If you are in a shared hosting environment, do not just move LocalSettings.php remotely. LocalSettings.php is currently owned by the user your webserver is running under, which means that anyone on the same server can read your database password! Downloading it and uploading it again will hopefully change the ownership to a user ID specific to you. EOT; } else { echo <<

Installation successful! Move the config/LocalSettings.php file to the parent directory, then follow this link to your wiki.

You should change file permissions for LocalSettings.php as required to prevent other users on the server reading passwords and altering configuration data. \n"; } } print "\n"; } function database_switcher($db) { global $ourdb; $color = $ourdb[$db]['bgcolor']; $full = $ourdb[$db]['fullname']; print " "; } ?>
