(RESOLVED) Allow edit for a single page
MySQL 5.0 (?)

PHP ??

Mediawiki 1.12.0. - Asset

I managed prevented edit/access of pages for guests like this $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; $wgWhitelistRead = array ("Forside", "Ophavsret", "Special:Userlogin", "Diskussion:Forside");
 * 1) Restrict anonymous edit
 * 1) But allow this

Is there any way that I can allow talk on "Diskussion:Forside", much like $wgWhitelistEdit (only it don't work any more?)

I think I solved this myself. It is possibel to protect a page - as sysop - and leave the talk page unprotected. Thus I work with tree levels of protection:
 * User/group protection (useing $wgWhitelistRead)
 * namespace - using Extension:Lockdown
 * Sysop protection of specific pages - primary the frontpage of the site

Any suggestions as to making this more simple? --Asset 13:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

PHP ??

Mediawiki 1.12.0. - Asset

I get this message when I try to get the confirmation. What can be wrong - do I need to set $wgSMTP?

Rückmeldung des Mailservers: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Paris' for '2.0/DST' instead

I am installing Mediawiki 1.12.0 on a Godaddy free Linux account. Installation went without a hitch. However, when I go to the main page, I get "�‹�" and nothing else.

Cannot access my Mediawiki

 * MediaWiki: v 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.0.5
 * MySQL: 4.4.7
 * URL: http://wheeler-roots.org/wiki GenesWiki

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!

 * Check your apache error logs (or IIS error logs if you're using that). --Skizzerz talk - contribs [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  00:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) URL changed
I had to move my Wiki to a different folder. It is now at www.ncrcag.com/mvc instead of www.ncrcag.com/tv

How do I fix the issues this caused? --24.74.36.191 20:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What issues did you have? At least you must change $wgScriptPath in your LocalSettings.php from "/tv" to "/mvc". --MF-Warburg 15:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) Broken link ...
On

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Downloading_MediaWiki

this link is broken:

It probably should read:

Unable to configure media wiki at first installation

 * MediaWiki: (Reported by your Wiki's Special:Version page)
 * PHP:
 * MySQL:
 * URL:

I am having difficulty installing the software on the server. I am getting ratty with it and so am probably missing something very simple. I cannot get any further than navigating to the page where it says MediaWiki 1.12.0rc1 Please set up the wiki first. 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

thanks

 * Check you php error log to see what the error is, or change your php.ini to turn on error reporting. --Nad 18:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

thanks - I have chased this down with my host and it appears only php4 is installed so am going to try again with an older version of wikimedia

You need to have the 'php-xml' package installed. Then you need to restart Apache: sudo yum -y install php-xml sudo service httpd restart

There is a quick fix, Add this to LocalSettings.php

$wgParserConf['preprocessorClass'] = 'Preprocessor_Hash';

Thats all. Jeblad 20:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) Unable to Configure Email

 * MediaWiki 1.9.3
 * Windows Server 2003
 * MySQL 5.2

I've been running a wiki site on my server for a while, but I never set up the email feature. Now I'd like to do that, but I don't know where to start. I can't find any documentation on configuring email here at mediawiki.org, and I can't find any email configuration page on the wiki site itself. I found a couple of settings in LocalSettings.php, but no place to specify basic configuration settings like the SMTP server and email account. I know this stuff must be documented somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.106.184.113 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 29 March 2008. Please sign your posts!


 * What are you looking to do with the email feature? -PatPeter, [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  02:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * 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
