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?

--> You really have to know something about MySQL, at least to setup a database for the MediaWiki.

Installing new MediaWiki with old Database
Actually my question is simple but to avoid a lot of work and errors i ask: Is it possible to install a new MediaWiki and use the old database with the old media files?

This is because my current installation (1.11) is moving to another server and it need to get an update. My thoughts were to install the latest version, copy the mediafiles to the new server, import the database to the new server, change de localsettings.php and go on with the Wiki's. So instead of updating it will be a new installation with the old content. Sypie

Hello! My name is Pilar and I'm an extranet oficer suporting now our extranet development project.One of the things we are thinking to add media wiki to our extranet as BT did. Now I couldn't find any information about whether media wiki can be implemented with a password regulated site as an extranet. Another question is can we get an media wiki expert some where to support with instalation and training us on how to manage the site? All this information here is quite heavy and difficult to understand for not developers minds.

The "admin" account is part of the groups "sysop" and "bureaucrat". We use the GroupPermissionsManager, additionally I already added all sysop-default-rights to LocalSettings.php

Can you please tell me, which right has to be set to view the history and compare page versions?

"Fatal error" after installing

 * MediaWiki version: The latest
 * PHP version: 5
 * MySQL version: 4.1.25
 * URL: mikelink.org

I downloaded the files, set up the database, went through the install process (where I gave it all the info it asked for) successfully. Moved the LocalSettings.php file, too. Now, however, when I go to MikeLink.org I get an error message:

I'm not sure why it's saying this. It says that it's failing to open that file, but the file exists:

http://mikelink.org/install-utils.inc

So does index.php (and index.php5 for that matter).

I've tried every combination I can for the permissions for that file, so it's not that. Not sure what to do next at this point, and couldn't find anything on Google. Please help.

Upgrading mw by applying patch
Hi. I'm trying to update my mediawiki installation from 1.13.3 to 1.13.4. I had downloaded mediawiki-1.13.4.patch.gz. But how can I apply many patches from this archive to my MediaWiki directory tree at one command? I think "patch" utility would be useful but I don't know how to do it fast and easy. Unfortunately any instructions for this are absent at Manual:Upgrading. Thanks. 84.204.216.36 08:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

MAC OS X 10.5.6:

I downloaded MediaWiki 1.14.0 and MAMP 1.7.2. Installation steps are following:

1. drag and drop MAMP to the application folder (no subfolder)

2. switch on Websharing in system settings

3. Follow the information in "Web-based setup" of ttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X with following differences

a) rename "mediawiki-1.14.0" to "mediawiki"

b) put the folder into subfolder "htdocs" in "MAMP"

c) start MAMP

d) "start homepage", choose "phpMyAdmin", create new database with the name you use later and create new user with the name you use later and grant all rights

e) change in preferences in window "URL of homepage" "/MAMP" to "/mediawiki"

f) open with "start homepage"

4. proceed with "Web-based setup"

The text of buttons may vary as I used the German version and translated the button texts.

Hope this text helps. And I hope it finds it way as I am a complete newb to wiki-administration but I shall organise one for our workgroup.

Configuration/Installation Error
I tried installing the MediaWiki on my server, but I receive the following error messages:

 * PHP version: 4.4.9

 * No it does not. The file you referred to is not in the package I downloaded. Calebrw 00:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Get the package again, then. —Emufarmers(T 01:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Apache port is not 80
Hi, guys. My Apache is running on another port, e.g. 81. So I can reach my wiki through http://ip.ad.dr.ess:81/wiki. But I want access it by domain name. Let it be www.mywiki.ru. Again, when I try http://www.mywiki.ru:81 everything works just fine. But how can I instruct DNS-server to hide port number? There is a "web-hop" on everydns.net for example, which forwards www.mywiki.ru directly to http://ip.ad.dr.ess:81/wiki but there is full ip with port number in address and all links. When I change wgserver nothing happens (url and port number are in address and in wiki-links). What can I do to mask my port number? Thanks.


 * This is unrelated to MediaWiki; you can ask EveryDNS, but what you're asking for is probably impossible. —Emufarmers(T 01:02, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

After moving the LocalSettings.php file, hitting the url http://localhost/mediawiki-1.14.0/index.php I get "Please setup the wiki first" message again
Running Solaris 10, latest recommended patches, using webstack (formerly coolstack from sun). I untarr'ed the mediawiki-1.14.0 tarball under my parent directory of /var/opt/webstack/apache2/2.2/htdocs/. It created the mediawiki-1.14.0 directory under there. chmod'ed the config directory, went to the url http://localhost/mediawiki-1.14.0, it had NO errors, I moved the config/LocalSettings.php file to /var/opt/webstack/apache2/2.2/htdocs/ and hit the above url again, it repeats the message "Please Setup The Wiki First.". I just did that...no errors in my errors_log for apache either. it's like it's going in a circle and I have no idea how to get past it. I would like to get this running soon. Thanks!

 * If MediaWiki is in /var/opt/webstack/apache2/2.2/htdocs/mediawiki-1.14.0, then that's where LocalSettings.php should go. —Emufarmers(T 01:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

LDAP Authetication Problems

 * MediaWiki version: 1.12.0
 * PHP version: 5.1.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.22
 * URL: Intranet only

For some WIKIs that are running in our Intranet, I need to authenticate our users using LDAP and the following two WIKI groups: Readers (testgroup) and Writers (testgroup2). Anonymous should not be able to read the WIKI pages.

my problem is, that using the syntax:

$wgLDAPRequiredGroups = array(

"testLDAPdomain"=>array(   "cn=testgroup,ou=groups,dc=LDAP,dc=example,dc=com",    "cn=testgroup2,ou=groups,dc=LDAP,dc=example,dc=com"    ), I cannot define different rights for users in the testgroup than the users in the testgroup2 have. This mean, if a user is in one of each two groups, he will always get the Writers access.

Can you please explain how I can define two groups, with different rights (Readers & Writers)?

Using existing database

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version: PHP 5.2.9-1
 * MySQL version:

Is it possible to use an existing database on MediaWiki? I have another application that uses a MySQL database and I'd like to know if I can use the users that are already in it in the wiki.
