I already search here and other places and I can't find the answer. Can you help me, please?

Thanks a lot!

Config does not see MySQL when DBMS server is installed as RPM

Hello,

My environment: Mediawiki v 1.15.3, PHP v 5.2.13 on RHEL 4

Mediawiki config 'Checking Environment' cannt see MySQL. This is installed as an RPM. Is it that the config expects it to be in /usr/local... ?

How can I tell the config that MySQL is in as an RPM?

Thanks

 * You need to install the MySQL extension for PHP. It could be called php-mysql or something like that. Max Semenik 15:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Here's this MediaWiki 1.15.4 Installation

Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems.

Fatal error: require [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/vol8/byethost14.com/b14_5840825/htdocs/wiki/languages/Language.php' (include_path='.') in /home/vol8/byethost14.com/b14_5840825/htdocs/wiki/includes/AutoLoader.php on line 582

Happens as soon as I goto the /wiki/config/index.php page to try to install, I have no idea what's going on or if I don't have full access to install the software, no clue, hope someone can help me out.

 * Apparently, you failed to upload all files, check that the aforementioned file exists and webserver has permissions to access it. Max Semenik 09:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Installing Mediawiki
I want to install Mediawiki. It appears: Something's not quite right yet; make sure everything below is filled out correctly. It seems to me that I fill all fields, but installer ask me and ask and did not say which specific field is badly filled.
 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.4

 * You should see an error message in red near the field that needs to be filled. Max Semenik 09:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I know! I pass own database root password, but password mu be as it is currently in XAMPP. In XAMPP inicjally name root is 'root' and password is empty. I install.--Borneq 09:51, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * See for example here how to change your password. Max Semenik 10:03, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Liste der letzten Änderungen "leeren"
Hallo, ich führe in meiner Wiki ein paar Tests durch und ich möchte nicht, dass man später noch diese Änderungen "zurückverfolgen" kann. Kann man also einfach die Liste der letzten Änderungen leeren ?ℜepress 08:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Salu, nein, das geht leider nicht "einfach", nur umständlich: Entweder Du markierst die Test-Edits in der History als "zeige/verstecke" ($wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['deleterevision'] = true; setzen), wobei die Versionen allerdings immer noch auftauchen, z. B. als übersprungen beim Versions-Vergleich, oder Du schmeißt die fraglichen Edits über ihre Versions-ID zuerst ins Archiv (→ deleteRevision.php) und dann endgültig über Bord (→ deleteArchivedFiles.php). All das ist mir immer zu umständlich, daher mache ich meine Experimente immer auf einer lokalen Parallel-Installation. Grüße --Robis 04:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

How uninstall Mediawiki
I install Mediawiki local in XAMPP directory C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\ How uninstall ?, only deleting C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki directory be enough?

 * Hi there, no, you also have to delete the database content. In XAMPP the MySQL database tables are usually stored in /xampp/mysql/data/mediawiki (or what you might have named your project). The more correct way, however, is to delete the database table over the phpMyAdmin backend. If you want to keep your XAMPP installation this is the recommendable method.
