Cannot access my Mediawiki

 * MediaWiki: v 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.0.5
 * MySQL: 4.4.7
 * URL: http://wheeler-roots.org/wiki GenesWiki

I'm a newbie, but I finally got my Mediawiki installed and running yesterday. All went fine all day. Used it until late last night. Then, this morning, when I tried to access it, I got an HTTP 500 error - Webpage cannot be displayed. This happens repeatedly.

I have made NO changes to ANYTHING since using it successfully yesterday. Can you please help me sort this out? Thanks!

Legalities of using Wikimedia material

 * MediaWiki: 1.11
 * PHP:
 * MySQL:
 * URL:

OK, so here's my problem. I've got MW 1.11 installed on my server, image uploads configured, extensions added - ParserFunctions, Nuke and Oversight. Soon to add on Makesysop and Checkuser too.

What's the legalities of using material from Meta wikimedia and Wikisource (the one that's en.wikisource.org) under the GFDL and how do I transwiki them into my wiki getting all revisions?? On some Wikimedia projects it says they can't get all revisions via transwiki.

and what's the way in the database to change an offensive signature in old revisions??

I need some help, just trying to learn some stuff on this wonderful new software!

I have tried changing the user password to the old_password support via: mysql> set password for testuser@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('testing') mysql> flush privileges;

I have had trouble in the past with apps that use mysql instead of mysqli extensions. eg:

There is no DOM package for php5 because it comes inbuilt, you must have it disabled. Run a phpinfo script and see what's enabled and disabled, and check your php.ini. --Nad 18:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I am having difficulty installing the software on the server. I am getting ratty with it and so am probably missing something very simple.

When I click on the link in this page I get 500: Internal Server Error (Sorry, the page you requested is not currently available. This is because the server has encountered a problem is creating the page for you.)

As far as I know, I am using an Apache server - it is one provided by www.freevirtualservers.com. I downloaded the package, unzipped it and uploaded the whole folder as is to the public_html folder. I set the permissions for the config folder to 777 using the cpanel (actually I changed all the parent to 77 to be sure)I don't know what else to try...

I Have checked and php 5 appears to be supported (in cpanel it is listed as a mime TYPE - application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml php php3 php4 php5 php6 )and in checking that I just discovered that front-page extensions are installed. The mysql server is not part of my site but is part of the hosting package and is accessed via phpMyAdmin which says Server version: 4.1.22-standard-log

hope you can help and see what I am missing

 * Mainly, I'd like to allow users to watch pages. Also, I believe MediaWiki uses email to do things related to user accounts -- informing a user when an account is created for him, and informing a user when his password is reset. I'd like to enable those features also. -TC 7:08, 1 April 2008


 * I continued to research this issue, and I can now answer my own question. First of all, there are lots of posts related to email questions at mwusers.com/forums. From various comments there, I learned that MediaWiki does not require any email configuration; it uses the email configuration of the PHP software. I'm not sure exactly what fixed the problem, but by messing with php.ini and the settings in my SMTP server, I was able to get MediaWiki notifications working. -TC 7:54, 3 April 2008

I've just installed mediawiki, all went well, then I started getting referred to this page. I did php --version and I'm on version 5.2.5 with hostmonster I'm trying to run mediawiki latest (1.12) It was working fine for a short while, and then went belly up with "PHP 5.0.x is buggy on your 64-bit system; you must upgrade to PHP 5.1.x or higher. ABORTING. (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879 for details)"

I am running 5.1.x or higher, I'm on 5.2.5!

This may be a bug with mediawiki or php - just trying to let someone know.

UPDATE: Running /index.php5 in the browser gets me in again, however... this isn't very elegant...

UPDATE2: I created the file .htaccess in my wiki installation, and added the line: DirectoryIndex index.php5

All seems good now.

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (apache2handler)

I have MediaWiki installed on a FreeBSD machine. The page is accessible from a VirtualHost that is SSL-secured. I can directly access a page like so: https://wiki.local.net/wiki/index.php/Special:Version

but when I do this:

https://wiki.local.net/wiki/

It sends me to http://wiki.local.net/wiki/ which is not found.

Also, when I edit a page and save it, it then forwards me to a plaintext page again. Even when it sends out a email confirmation messages, it gives an http address instead of https (which of course doesn't work)

Any suggestion?

 * Language Options ;

engine = On
 * Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.

zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = Off
 * Enable compatibility mode with Zend Engine 1 (PHP 4.x)

short_open_tag = On
 * Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only  tags.

precision   =  12
 * The number of significant digits displayed in floating point numbers.

y2k_compliance = On
 * Enforce year 2000 compliance (will cause problems with non-compliant browsers)

output_buffering = Off
 * Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
 * after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
 * bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output
 * buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files by
 * setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer
 * to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as
 * a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096).


 * You can redirect all of the output of your scripts to a function. For
 * example, if you set output_handler to "mb_output_handler", character
 * encoding will be transparently converted to the specified encoding.
 * Setting any output handler automatically turns on output buffering.
 * Note: People who wrote portable scripts should not depend on this ini
 * directive. Instead, explicitly set the output handler using ob_start.
 * Using this ini directive may cause problems unless you know what script
 * is doing.
 * Note: You cannot use both "mb_output_handler" with "ob_iconv_handler"
 * and you cannot use both "ob_gzhandler" and "zlib.output_compression".
 * Note: output_handler must be empty if this is set 'On' !!!!
 * Instead you must use zlib.output_handler.
 * output_handler =

zlib.output_compression = Off
 * Transparent output compression using the zlib library
 * Valid values for this option are 'off', 'on', or a specific buffer size
 * to be used for compression (default is 4KB)
 * Note: Resulting chunk size may vary due to nature of compression. PHP
 * outputs chunks that are few hundreds bytes each as a result of
 * compression. If you prefer a larger chunk size for better
 * performance, enable output_buffering in addition.
 * Note: You need to use zlib.output_handler instead of the standard
 * output_handler, or otherwise the output will be corrupted.


 * You cannot specify additional output handlers if zlib.output_compression
 * is activated here. This setting does the same as output_handler but in
 * a different order.
 * zlib.output_handler =

implicit_flush = Off
 * Implicit flush tells PHP to tell the output layer to flush itself
 * automatically after every output block. This is equivalent to calling the
 * PHP function flush after each and every call to print or echo and each
 * and every HTML block. Turning this option on has serious performance
 * implications and is generally recommended for debugging purposes only.

unserialize_callback_func=
 * The unserialize callback function will be called (with the undefined class'
 * name as parameter), if the unserializer finds an undefined class
 * which should be instantiated.
 * A warning appears if the specified function is not defined, or if the
 * function doesn't include/implement the missing class.
 * So only set this entry, if you really want to implement such a
 * callback-function.

serialize_precision = 100
 * When floats & doubles are serialized store serialize_precision significant
 * digits after the floating point. The default value ensures that when floats
 * are decoded with unserialize, the data will remain the same.

allow_call_time_pass_reference = On
 * Whether to enable the ability to force arguments to be passed by reference
 * at function call time. This method is deprecated and is likely to be
 * unsupported in future versions of PHP/Zend. The encouraged method of
 * specifying which arguments should be passed by reference is in the function
 * declaration. You're encouraged to try and turn this option Off and make
 * sure your scripts work properly with it in order to ensure they will work
 * with future versions of the language (you will receive a warning each time
 * you use this feature, and the argument will be passed by value instead of by
 * reference).

safe_mode = Off

safe_mode_gid = Off
 * By default, Safe Mode does a UID compare check when
 * opening files. If you want to relax this to a GID compare,
 * then turn on safe_mode_gid.

safe_mode_include_dir =
 * When safe_mode is on, UID/GID checks are bypassed when
 * including files from this directory and its subdirectories.
 * (directory must also be in include_path or full path must
 * be used when including)

safe_mode_exec_dir =
 * When safe_mode is on, only executables located in the safe_mode_exec_dir
 * will be allowed to be executed via the exec family of functions.

safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_
 * Setting certain environment variables may be a potential security breach.
 * This directive contains a comma-delimited list of prefixes. In Safe Mode,
 * the user may only alter environment variables whose names begin with the
 * prefixes supplied here. By default, users will only be able to set
 * environment variables that begin with PHP_ (e.g. PHP_FOO=BAR).
 * Note: If this directive is empty, PHP will let the user modify ANY
 * environment variable!
 * environment variable!

safe_mode_protected_env_vars = LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 * This directive contains a comma-delimited list of environment variables that
 * the end user won't be able to change using putenv. These variables will be
 * protected even if safe_mode_allowed_env_vars is set to allow to change them.


 * open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory
 * and below. This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
 * or per-virtualhost web server configuration file. This directive is
 * *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.

expose_php = On
 * Misc
 * Decides whether PHP may expose the fact that it is installed on the server

display_errors = On
 * Print out errors (as a part of the output). For production web sites,
 * you're strongly encouraged to turn this feature off, and use error logging
 * instead (see below). Keeping display_errors enabled on a production web site
 * may reveal security information to end users, such as file paths on your Web
 * server, your database schema or other information.

display_startup_errors = Off
 * Even when display_errors is on, errors that occur during PHP's startup
 * sequence are not displayed. It's strongly recommended to keep
 * display_startup_errors off, except for when debugging.

log_errors = Off
 * Log errors into a log file (server-specific log, stderr, or error_log (below))
 * As stated above, you're strongly advised to use error logging in place of
 * error displaying on production web sites.

log_errors_max_len = 1024
 * Set maximum length of log_errors. In error_log information about the source is
 * added. The default is 1024 and 0 allows to not apply any maximum length at all.

ignore_repeated_errors = Off
 * Do not log repeated messages. Repeated errors must occur in same file on same
 * line until ignore_repeated_source is set true.

ignore_repeated_source = Off
 * Ignore source of message when ignoring repeated messages. When this setting
 * is On you will not log errors with repeated messages from different files or
 * sourcelines.

report_memleaks = On
 * If this parameter is set to Off, then memory leaks will not be shown (on

variables_order = "EGPCS"
 * This directive describes the order in which PHP registers GET, POST, Cookie,
 * Environment and Built-in variables (G, P, C, E & S respectively, often
 * referred to as EGPCS or GPC). Registration is done from left to right, newer
 * values override older values.

register_globals = Off
 * Whether or not to register the EGPCS variables as global variables. You may
 * want to turn this off if you don't want to clutter your scripts' global scope
 * with user data. This makes most sense when coupled with track_vars - in which
 * case you can access all of the GPC variables through the $HTTP_*_VARS[],
 * variables.
 * You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
 * register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead
 * to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.
 * to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.

register_long_arrays = On
 * Whether or not to register the old-style input arrays, HTTP_GET_VARS
 * and friends. If you're not using them, it's recommended to turn them off,
 * for performance reasons.

register_argc_argv = On
 * This directive tells PHP whether to declare the argv&argc variables (that
 * would contain the GET information). If you don't use these variables, you
 * should turn it off for increased performance.

auto_globals_jit = On
 * When enabled, the SERVER and ENV variables are created when they're first
 * used (Just In Time) instead of when the script starts. If these variables
 * are not used within a script, having this directive on will result in a
 * performance gain. The PHP directives register_globals, register_long_arrays,

 * NULL's are returned as empty strings, unless this is set to 1. In that case,
 * NULL's are returned as string 'NULL'.

[Session] session.save_handler = files
 * Handler used to store/retrieve data.


 * Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path
 * where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
 * variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
 * As of PHP 4.0.1, you can define the path as:
 * session.save_path = "N;/path"
 * where N is an integer. Instead of storing all the session files in
 * /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and
 * store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you
 * or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is
 * a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.
 * NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
 * You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose.
 * NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to
 * use subdirectories for session storage
 * The file storage module creates files using mode 600 by default.
 * You can change that by using
 * session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path"
 * where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this
 * does not overwrite the process's umask.
 * session.save_path = "/tmp"
 * You can change that by using
 * session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path"
 * where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this
 * does not overwrite the process's umask.
 * session.save_path = "/tmp"
 * does not overwrite the process's umask.
 * session.save_path = "/tmp"

session.use_cookies = 1
 * Whether to use cookies.


 * This option enables administrators to make their users invulnerable to
 * attacks which involve passing session ids in URLs; defaults to 0.
 * session.use_only_cookies = 1

session.name = PHPSESSID
 * Name of the session (used as cookie name).

session.auto_start = 0
 * Initialize session on request startup.

session.cookie_lifetime = 0
 * Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.

session.cookie_path = /
 * The path for which the cookie is valid.

session.cookie_domain =
 * The domain for which the cookie is valid.

session.serialize_handler = php
 * Handler used to serialize data. php is the standard serializer of PHP.


 * Define the probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started
 * on every session initialization.
 * The probability is calculated by using gc_probability/gc_divisor,
 * e.g. 1/100 means there is a 1% chance that the GC process starts
 * on each request.

session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_divisor    = 100

session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
 * After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
 * cleaned up by the garbage collection process.


 * NOTE: If you are using the subdirectory option for storing session files
 * (see session.save_path above), then garbage collection does *not*
 * happen automatically. You will need to do your own garbage
 * collection through a shell script, cron entry, or some other method.
 * For example, the following script would is the equivalent of
 * setting session.gc_maxlifetime to 1440 (1440 seconds = 24 minutes):
 * cd /path/to/sessions; find -cmin +24 | xargs rm


 * PHP 4.2 and less have an undocumented feature/bug that allows you to
 * to initialize a session variable in the global scope, albeit register_globals
 * is disabled. PHP 4.3 and later will warn you, if this feature is used.
 * You can disable the feature and the warning separately. At this time,
 * the warning is only displayed, if bug_compat_42 is enabled.

session.bug_compat_42 = 1 session.bug_compat_warn = 1

session.referer_check =

 * Document expires after n minutes.

session.use_trans_sid = 0
 * trans sid support is disabled by default.
 * Use of trans sid may risk your users security.

url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
 * The URL rewriter will look for URLs in a defined set of HTML tags.
 * form/fieldset are special; if you include them here, the rewriter will
 * add a hidden field with the info which is otherwise appended
 * to URLs. If you want XHTML conformity, remove the form entry.
