Is it possible to replicate images when setting up Mysql replication on our wiki database? Or would we have to use rsync or shared storage? Red0Menace (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

CirrusSearch Extention Issues

Hey guys,

I'm trying to setup Cirrus Search with Elastica. I followed the steps on Extension:CirrusSearch. When I load Special:Version I see that Elastica (Version 1.3.0.0) is installed but as soon as I put require_once "$IP/extensions/CirrusSearch/CirrusSearch.php"; in my LocalSetting.php file and try to load Special:Version I now get "Fatal error: Class 'ConfigFactory' not found in /var/www/Wiki/extensions/CirrusSearch/includes/Hooks.php on line 946".

I did not modify this file manually "Hooks.php", I simply downloaded the file and extracted to EXTENSIONS as requested in the documentation.

Can anyone help please? Michal sirek (talk) 15:39, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

how to set per default

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Hello, good afternoon guys.

I need to know how to set per default only when people want to create a page, automatically appears a custom head.

Best regards. Maxedrom (talk) 01:20, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

As an administrator of the wiki, you can customise the system message MediaWiki:Newarticletext. If you want to customise the message in a language which is not the default language of the wiki (say, you wiki is in Deutsch (code=de), and you want to customise the message in Hungarian (code=hu)), you can customise the system message MediaWiki:Newarticletext/hu (the language code is generally wikipedia:ISO 639-1).

For this type of question, a better appropriate place is Project:Support desk. ~ Seb35 [^_^] 07:29, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Unable to post new query to PostgreSQL

Hi,

I am new at mediawiki.

I have postgres 9.3 installed and mediawiki 1.26.

I have created a table called pragas which has the following definition:

Column id_praga: Type private key integer

Column nome: Type character

I have added just 1 record to "pragas" table.

The table is created under Schemas/public.

I have granted access to my user within the database called "teste".

In my LocalSettings.php, I have the following:

wfLoadExtension( 'ExternalData' );

$edgDBServer['wikimedia'] = "localhost";

$edgDBServerType['wikimedia'] = "postgres";

$edgDBName['wikimedia'] = "wikimedia";

$edgDBUser['wikimedia'] = "teste";

$edgDBPass['wikimedia'] = "aaa";

I am trying to access the database through "get_db_data", as below:

"{{#get_db_data: db=wikimedia|from=pragas|data=nome=nome}}"

I am getting the following error:

[97e6ca33] /mediawiki/mediawiki-1.26.2/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=submit DBUnexpectedError from line 495 of /var/www/html/mediawiki/mediawiki-1.26.2/includes/db/DatabasePostgres.php: Unable to post new query to PostgreSQL

I have already done all the changes suggested in FAQ and other links but the error continues the same.

Could anyone point me what am I missing or doing wrong? Or point me any link that could help me with this issue?

Hello,

I want make wiki for math web. Can i show math formula with mediawiki? 223.255.224.115 (talk) 01:17, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello. A wiki, is not a math web. If you want the skins of mediawiki, you can create a new skin for your math web, But Is not possible use the same skin in a math web, beccause the mediawiki skin is ONLY for wikis.

If I start a wiki page, will it show on the mediawiki or on my own wiki? Tdayok202 (talk) 01:38, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki is software which allows you to create your own wiki. Install it on your server and then you can create pages on your wiki. wargo (talk) 08:02, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

The text on the front page assumes people already know what is a wiki and what can it be used for. It states many things which are irrelevant if you don't know why would you want to use MediaWiki. Nikerabbit (talk) 19:44, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
