[gentoo-user] mediawiki package stability
Anyone know the stability of the 1.7.1 package? FYI, I'm running amd64, which probably does not matter. Thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

AFAIK Gentoo's webapp-config does these things, but I've only managed to scratch the surface of what it's capable of since I don't use webapps much. If you have multiple physical servers to maintain, you could emerge mediawiki, install it with webapp-config and write a simple script which executes posti-install instructions and modifies config files so you don't have to do it manually on each server. After that, upgrades are handled with webapp-config. -- Jure Varlec pgpicQey89j7V.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] mediawiki mass installation
Hi folks, does anyone have some tool for mediawiki mass installations, which does an completely automatic (non-interactive) mediawiki installation from some configfile ? It also would be fine, if this tool could move the non-individual parts (ie. program code, stylesheets, ...) to some common place, so save some space. thx -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Mediawiki
I can't install Mediawiki 1.4.15. I've installed: a) apache 2.0.55-r1 b) dev-lang/php 5.1.2 (current flags in /etc/portage/package.use: dba gd -gd-external pcre mysql mysqli session) c) mysql 4.1.14-r1 I got the error "Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes" when creating the categorylinks table, so I've esecuted "ALTER DATABASE wikidb DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci". Then I got the error "Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server". As far I can understand, this happens because of the new password algorithm in mysql 4.1+, so I've remerged dev-lang/php with the "mysqli" flag, but I still get the same error. Does anybody know how to get mediawiki installed? Thanks Sergio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] mediawiki: Enabling uploads?
Hello! For my wiki site, I'd like to enable uploads. To do so, I *added* lines $wgDisableUpload = false; $wgDisableUploads = false; to my LocalSettings.php. But I still cannot upload - the wiki is telling me Upload file Sorry, uploading is disabled. How do I enable uploads? I'm using mediawiki 1.5.8, "compiled" with the following flags: hetzner wiki # emerge -vpt mediawiki These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
