 * PHP version: 5.1.6-20
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45-7
 * URL: Classified (very literally, not a joke! ;-) )
 * OS: RHEL5

I need to move a wiki (1.10.0) from one machine to another, and at the same time upgrade MW to 1.13.3 After untarring MediaWiki, copying the contants of /images and restoring the database, attempting to access the wiki results in an error:

[Tue Jan 20 19:48:14 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] PHP Fatal error: require_once [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/html2/wiki/ LocalSettings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html2/wiki/ includes/WebStart.php on line 97

Just after installation i cannot access the wiki because i get this error.

Fatal error: Class 'Xml' not found in /home/a8814660/public_html/mediawiki/includes/Linker.php on line 1042

That line contains: $attribsText .= Xml::expandAttributes( $attribs );

(RESOLVED) Warning: mkdir [function.mkdir]: Permission denied
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  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.

I upgraded every wiki to 1.15.1, so there isn't even a difference between the wikis like it was before. Still no success.

 * Ok, it works now! :) I changed the actual path in LocalSettings.php

 * Do you have mod_security running? If so, disable it or configure it not to interfere with MediaWiki. —Emufarmers(T 00:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Configuring sendmail for mediawiki

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.10 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.1.37-community
 * URL:

I have set up a wiki for our organization and is up and running smoothly. I now have a challenge to configure emails for wiki. I have installed our wiki on RHEL 4. I have sendmail installed on the Red HAT machine and trying to configure wiki for sendmail. I saw in one of the articles which says "wiki by default uses sendmail to send emails". But in my case it is not doing so, having a hard luck in configuring it. In my case wiki is using PEAR mail to send emails. Can anyone please let me know how to configure sendmail for wiki.

Simple error in .php file

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4
 * URL: none

I'm trying out TurnKey MediaWiki (turnkey-mediawiki-2009.04-hardy-x86.iso). I changed my account (admin) language settings to Swedish, and got a PHP error from the file /usr/local/share/mediawiki/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.il8n.sv.php. I opened the file and found the error; whoever wrote the file must have copy-pasted everything, so that there was twice as much text as it should have been. I removed excess text, and the PHP error disappeared.

Resetting a User Login Password

 * MediaWiki version:

 * URL:

DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND THE VERSION NUMBERS

TRING TO CAHNGE A USERS FORGOTTEN PASSWORD USING THE FOLLOWING COMMAND

E:\www\wiki\maintenance>php changePassword.php --user=butch --password=melbournecup

AND GET THIS MESSAGE

PHP Warning: date: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting 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.

ANY IDEAS WHATS WRONG?
