Re: HTTP 500 error after installation

Hm, nothing more? That's a shame. Is there a PHP equivalent of perl's
"-w", does anyone know? Or, for that matter, a really easy way of
getting it to print messages to stderr (like "Got here." etc) so that
you can see if they appear in the Apache log (as I understand it,
anything sent to stderr will)?

If it's not even *beginning* to run, I don't know how you could work
out what's wrong, to be honest - all that error tells you is that
Apache never got hold of the output, which could mean anything,
couldn't it?

Change form 1.26 to phase3

So the question is, how to change from mediawiki 1.2.6 to version 1.3... 
So I tryed to insert the actual database from 1.2.6 into 1.3, but it 
doesn`t works...
Has anybody  an workarround or a howto, to upgrade to Version 1.3?

thanks guido

Re: Change form 1.26 to phase3

Rename the folder of your old installation to something like wiki.old

Install 1.3beta in a new folder wiki and got to the installation script  
http://yourdomain.com/config/

Point the installation script to your existing wiki db (back it up  
beforehand!!)

The 1.2 database should be updated by the script.

Have fun
Manfred

Templates

Hi,

I'm having a little problem with templates (the {{name}} things). I'm using
1.2.6 on Windows. I made {{europe}} on a page, then made Template:europe (I
copied straight from the source of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Europe ). When i view the
template-page, it gives me the list, so that works. When i return to my
original page which should include the template, i see the text {{europe}},
not [[Template:europe]] like http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template
suggests when the template page doesn't exist, or the list of countries.
Then i grepped the source: grep -r "{{" *.php, this found absolutely
nothing. Is this because the metawiki-page is out of date, too recent or
wrong? Am i using an old version?

Thanks for reading,
    Tom

Re: Templates

In 1.2.x you have to put messages in the MediaWiki: namespace and use
the syntax {{msg:blah}}. The Template and {{blah}} notation was
introduced in 1.3.

Updating Special:Wantedpages

Hi,

I'm new to mediawiki and installed version 1.3.0beta4 some days ago. Everything
works fine so far but Special:Wantedpages.

If I got it right Wantedpages will list all wikilinks, which lead to non
existent pages. I think that a maintenance job has to search for those pages,
but I am not really shure because I didn't find a documentation about the
maintenance scripts.

Can anybody help me, please?

Gruss,
  Ollie.

Pages only show up by default when there are two or more links to them.

Brion provided this fix:

In SpecialWantedpages.php change:
  "FROM brokenlinks GROUP BY bl_to HAVING nlinks > 1 " .
to:
  "FROM brokenlinks GROUP BY bl_to HAVING nlinks >= 1 " .

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot! This one worked and I could change the query a bit more to fit my
needs (i.e. filter out any discussion pages). Now I understand a bit more...

Database error after upgrading to beta4

Hi,
I recently upgraded from beta3 to beta4 using the CVS release tag 
REL1_3_0beta4a.

I am now getting the following error whenever an edit is made; the edit 
happens, but a row is not inserted into recentchanges:

-----------------------------
Database error
 From SeattleWiki
A database query syntax error has occurred. This could be because of an 
illegal search query (see Searching SeattleWiki), or it may indicate a 
bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

     INSERT INTO recentchanges

(rc_timestamp,rc_cur_time,rc_namespace,rc_title,rc_type,rc_minor,rc_cur_id,rc_user,rc_user_text,rc_comment,rc_this_oldid,rc_last_oldid,rc_bot,rc_moved_to_ns,rc_moved_to_title,rc_ip,rc_new) 
VALUES 
(20040705213538,20040705213538,2,'Matias',0,1,792,2,'Matias','test 
post',0,173,0,0,'','',0)

from within function "RecentChange::save". MySQL returned error "1054: 
Unknown column 'rc_ip' in 'field list'".
-----------------------------

It looks like a new column was added in beta4 but the table schema 
wasn't updated? Do I need to run a script to upgrade my tables?

Thanks,
Matias
