Hi, I got my Mediawiki installed and running yesterday. The problem is that when I try to get to the MAIN PAGE I'm getting a blank page. However if i try to get to any other page it seems to work fine. The main page is visible - only when I log into the system. Thank you

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!

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?

After uploading version 1.12.0, I changed the config dir to 777 and then opened my browser to the main index.php. I got the screen that had the sunflower logo and said "Mediawiki 1.12.0 please setup the wiki first". I clicked the link and then get this: "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log."

From what I can find on searching google this is due to a function not supported by my hosting providers implementation of PHP5. Unfortunately I'm not seeing anywhere that tells me all the settings for PHP5. However I can modify my php.ini so I post it below. Any help would be greatly appreciated, THANKS

UPDATE: I removed the php.ini file since it seemingly was of little help. —PhilipHewitt 12:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Are PHPs built with mysqli supposed to work with MediaWiki? I have a PHP 5.2.5. built with with-mysqli instead of with-mysql and the config script insists it was built without Mysql support. Thanks.

I am unsure how to check if mysqli is functioning...can anyone point to a quck script to test?

Installation seemed okay, but pages load verrrrrrry slowly

 * MediaWiki: 1.6.10
 * PHP: 5.0.2 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 4.0.24
 * URL: Biology

The webmaster for our department server did a basic installation of MediaWiki at my request, then turned the files and responsibilities over to me (also at my request). The wiki is operational, but as the header suggests it takes a surprisingly long time to load any page within the wiki (often 10-15 seconds, far longer than either non-wiki pages on our or other servers, and far longer than pages from other MediaWikis, including this one). And when I replaced the 24K Logo image, with a sleeker 7K image, it seems to be taking if anything even longer, often 20-30 seconds. I've spent quite a while poring through the MediaWiki site and haven't found an obvious possibility to even explore. Again, the pages do get loaded. Eventually! Any ideas? Thanks!

Installation help!
I'm trying to install your product on a Windows 2003 R3 Service Pack 2 server. I have IIS installed, I have installed 1.10.0 software for wiki, I have installed mysql 5.0.45 and php5.2.3. I am unable to bring up the very first page in a browser to set up my settings. I can only read the index.php files through notepad. On the manual it states to accomplish a virtual directory...do I need to do this? I'm confused as how to proceed from here.

Jason


 * MediaWiki: 1.10.0
 * PHP: 5.2.3
 * MySQL: 5.0.45

I have managed to install the software and even get the index.php to read as a web page on my server. I'm using I.E 6.0 (is that a problem?) My Wiki is reporting that magic_quotes_runtime, magic_quotes_sybase and mbstring.func_overload need to be disabled. How does one do this? I'm not getting or able to create a LocalSettings.php file either. Any help would be appreciated.

Jason.

I'm just seeing a blank page

 * MediaWiki: 1.12.0
 * PHP: 5.1.6
 * url: (blank)

The installation page says the software has been installed successfully but the page it should be at  is blank. Any ideas what I need to change?


 * Did you delete the /config directory? Did you move LocalSettings.php from wherever it is to the nlpconnections.com/wiki/ directory?
 * If you have already done this, or do this and it does not work, delete everything and try reinstalling it. If you reinstall, I reccomend choosing a directory other than /wiki/.  If you want to have short urls appear to be in the "wiki" directory, a directory called "wiki" should not exist. Smaug  [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] 21:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I have deleted those and reinstalled the whole thing twice - same problem every time. 89.243.226.53 12:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've tried it again as now and still the same. The config page says it's been installed successfully and gives a link to the wiki - but the page is blank. Any ideas? 78.147.158.252 13:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Localsettings.php is in the wiki directory (it is not automatically put there, you must ftp in and move it)? (I know I already asked this, but you didn't specify that you did it, so I thought I'd check.) Smaug  [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] 17:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I moved it into the wiki directory each time I installed it (four times now). I think I have to accept the script doesn't work on my server. 78.147.103.100 14:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
