Hi Johannes, Thank you for your reply. Following the instruction on the following URL 'http:// edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/ Mediawiki_collection_extension_installation#Collection_extension_installation' under the chapter 'mwlib installation on Ubuntu' - then I am uncertain on whether I should go into the sub-category 'Installing mwlib' or 'install mwlib.rl'. So I do both at this moment, therefore creating both the 'mwlib'- library and the 'mwlib-rl.new'-libary.
In the 'mwlib'-library I am not able to run the 'make'-command - I get the reply 'make: Nothing to be done for `default'.' but in the 'mwlib-rl.new'-libary, a lot of activity is happening when running 'make'-command. Should I remove one of the two libraries, or are the both needed ? standing in the 'mwlib-rl.new' I write the following: > sudo mw-serve and I get the reply "2010-07-23T14:28:41 mw-serve.info >> serving http on 0.0.0.0:8899 " Should the reply not be '127.0.0.1;8899' ? Running the command 'http://127.0.0.1:8899/' in the browser I can see that my mw-serve-process is getting the request. So the installation seems to be fine ..... I have done the following changes in my LocalSettings.php . - these are the only changes I have done regarding the extension 'Collection' require_once("$IP/extensions/Collection/Collection.php"); $wgCollectionFormats = array( 'rl' => 'PDF', 'odf' => 'ODT', ); $wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveasuserpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveascommunitypage'] = true; $wgCollectionMWServeURL = "http://127.0.0.1:8899";; I cannot see any reference to the following variable in my LocalSettings.php -> $wgEnableApi = true , does not exist ( this variable you talk about in the readme.txt-file ) - I am able to 'create' a book in my wiki, I am able to finish my creation ( I see the pages increment ), I give my book a 'title' and a 'subtitle' choose whether I should use PDF or ODT. - I choose PDF in the dropdown-list. then pressing the 'Download' my browser goes to the page: http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php/Special:Book - the page is empty - and nothing more happens .... I cannot find my PDF-file anywhere ... and my mw-serve-process has not gotten any request. In the readme.txt you talk about the following .... is that a must ? Add a template [[Template:saved_book]] Choosing 'Download as PDF' -> the webbrowser points to 'http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php? title=Special:Book&bookcmd=render_article&arttitle=Servers&oldid=42&writer=rl' And the page is empty, no request to the server, and no PDF is created putting the '$wgEnableApi = true' into LocalSettings.php and saving the file does not change anything. Then my LocalSettings.php looks like the following: require_once("$IP/extensions/Collection/Collection.php"); $wgEnableWriteAPI = true; $wgCollectionFormats = array( 'rl' => 'PDF', 'odf' => 'ODT', ); $wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveasuserpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveascommunitypage'] = true; $wgCollectionMWServeURL = "http://localhost:8899";; - ( here I changed the '127.0.0.1' to 'localhost' - does the order of the variables matter or is it ok in any-which-order ) What am I doing wrong here ? Best regards, Ink ps. Having python version 2.6.5 and perl version 5.10 ds.
