Extension talk:DeleteHistory

Doesn't work on 1.16
''' FIXED in 0.2 version

Where do we find the DeleteHistory.php file?

The special page doesn't exist :

'Vous avez demandé une page spéciale qui n’existe pas.

Doesn't work on 1.16.


 * I'm having a similar problem (also 1.16). It doesn't seem to do anything; when I tell it to "simply check" and click the "Validate" button, the "Results:" box is empty. From looking at the php files, it appears that it's trying to call "php $pwd/maintenance/deleteOldRevisions.php". When I go into the "maintenance" directory and run that command manually, it complains about the LocalSettings.php file not being found.  If I copy that file into the maintenance directory, then that works, but the extension still doesn't do anything.  Does anyone know what needs to be changed (do I need to put LocalSettings.php somewhere else) to get this to work as intended? Bfunchess 17:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)


 * You must rename the files after download
 * DeleteHistory_DeleteHistory.alias.php => DeleteHistory.alias.php
 * DeleteHistory_DeleteHistory.i18n.php => DeleteHistory.i18n.php
 * DeleteHistory_....

No changes with Sysop and Administrator user
Mediawiki 1.14 : The Result section return nothing when I use the extension. Even if I use a sysop and administrator user.

Thanks for help.

 * I have this same issue. It can optimize tables just fine, but actually deleting old revisions does not work and returns an empty result.
 * The line that should return a result is $out_logs = shell_exec(escapeshellcmd($command)); and this returns empty.
 * I have checked things and it is finding and trying to run the deleteOldRevisions.php command but nothing happens, and I have no idea why.

'''You need to install php-cli to make it work


 * Same issue here. I have the extension installed and shows up in the Special pages, but when clicking the 'validate' it returns nothing. I checked with my host and php-cli is indeed installed (it's on a CentOS server) but not sure if the path/location of it is correct or not. If someone could let me know what needs to be where the in the file structure and/or what needs to be set up how and where to get this running it would be great.

Bug detection
The extension say :

MediaWiki 1.20 requires at least PHP version 5.3.2, you are using PHP 4.4.9

I'm using : SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0 SetEnv ZEND_OPTIMIZER 1 SetEnv MAGIC_QUOTES 1 SetEnv PHP_VER 5_4 and Mediawiki 1.20.....
