deleteBatch.php not working right

 * MediaWiki 	1.12.0
 * PHP 	5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL 	5.0.22

I am using deleteBatch.php with a list of files to delete and it deletes the files or images, but the files still show up on a search. When you click on the link it shows as being deleted. I checked this with a file I deleted by hand and the deleted file did not show up on a search. Any idea how to delete mass files without them show up on a search.

What is the solution for the "authentication error - check passwords" while click on "install MediaWiki"?

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version: 5.2.8-win32 version
 * MySQL version: 5.1.30-win32 version
 * URL: http://localhost/mediawiki-1.13.3/config/index.php

I am getting authentication error while I click on Install MediaWiki tab and it shows error (authentication error - check passwords) with the Superuser name and superuser password when the checkbox of superuser account is checked.

And when it is unchecked, it will give same error (authentication error - check passwords) for DB username and DB password.

Please suggest me, what should I do for the above problem?

Scary transclusion problem
I enabled $wgScaryTranscluding, and it works well, but if you put in it does not show the template, only the Wikipedia policy page. What do I need to do to fix this? —82.42.237.84 19:45, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
