Move wiki to new server with current MW, Fatal PHP error

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
 * PHP version: 5.1.6-20
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45-7
 * URL: Classified (very literally, not a joke! ;-) )
 * OS: RHEL5

I need to move a wiki (1.10.0) from one machine to another, and at the same time upgrade MW to 1.13.3 After untarring MediaWiki, copying the contants of /images and restoring the database, attempting to access the wiki results in an error:

[Tue Jan 20 19:48:14 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] PHP Fatal error: require_once [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/html2/wiki/ LocalSettings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html2/wiki/ includes/WebStart.php on line 97

Problem using the NoTitle Extension with version 1.15.1

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.3.0
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45
 * URL: private

I get the following error spammed at the top of every request:

Notice: Use of undefined constant MAG_NOTITLE - assumed 'MAG_NOTITLE' in /usr/local/httpd-2.2.12/htdocs/mwiki/extensions/notitle.php on line 28 Notice: Undefined variable: action in /usr/local/httpd-2.2.12/htdocs/mwiki/extensions/notitle.php on line 36 Notice: Undefined variable: action in /usr/local/httpd-2.2.12/htdocs/mwiki/extensions/notitle.php on line 36

I've triple checked and the code in notitle.php as well as the require statement needed in LocalSettings.php.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Rhugga

The mediawiki script was working fine until recently. I connected to the internet and checked my site and recieved this error. I have searched everywhere for information to how to fix this error but cannot find any information I can understand or follow.

I would like help on how to get my mediawiki working again. If it comes to reinstalling, that is no problem as my database is backed up. However I would like to avoid reinstalls to save time as I have alot of administrating to do. Could somebody help me please? Thanks.

RESOLVED Showing template content in skin file

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0 (r9)
 * PHP version: 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version:  	5.0.67-log
 * URL: http://beta.shapingsf-wiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Hi, I am new to MediaWiki. I want to split the home page into multiple templates so that it can be easily edited. Right now the contents are hard coded into the skin_name.php file. I tried the following code:

$id = Title::newFromText("Template:HomepageImages")->getArticleId; //print_r($id); $myArticle = Article::newFromId($id); //Make an article object from that id //print_r($myArticle); echo $myArticle->getContent;

I get the content of the template, however, the "special tags" are not converted. It shows (ignore the _ before closing ]) instead of the actual image. How can I get template content to display? Thanks.

 * You need to pass it through $wgOut->parse, using something like:

 * Are you sure that the file /home/pedia/public_html/includes/templates/userlogin.php exists? If this is not the case, then get it from here. i Alex  10:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello iAlex. thank you for trying to help me. All files exist, the problem is (i think) with AutoLoeader.php as you can see, some other sections of the site have the same issue.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE
For testing an upgrade of MediaWiki software I downloaded and installed XAMPP on a windows XP system. I copied the WikiMedia dir from our production server to my XAMPP htdocs and also copied the database. I adjusted the LocalSettings.php to connect to the new database.
 * MediaWiki version: 1.9.3
 * PHP version: 5.3.0
 * MySQL version: 5.1.37
 * URL: localhost

When I go to the wiki page (https://localhost/wiki/) I get an error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NAMESPACE, expecting T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\wiki\includes\Namespace.php on line 46

How can I fix this?

 * You have two possible options: Either downgrade PHP or upgrade MediaWiki. It's caused by the new PHP 5.3's namespaces funcionality. --Matěj Grabovský 14:06, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
