[Phpwiki-talk] Markup changes

[John K. <jo...@ke...>]

Hi all,

I've been tweaking the existing markup for a couple of my wikis and 
would like some feedback.

I've added ';;' creates a linebreak, in addition to %%%. This seems a 
more natural symbol (semi-colon being 'end of clause' and ;; not 
appearing anywhere I can think of), but does it clash with any other 
markup?

I've reversed the order of headings, so ! creates a h2 heading, !! = 
h3, !!! = h4 (and added !!!! = h5, just in case). This fits with the 
'more is deeper' logic of the bullet lists. Also, people tend to use 
a single ! to mark out the sections of their doc. When a sub-section 
needs adding, they have to change all the ! to !!, and again for 
sub-sub-sections. Okay, people should use !!! from the start... but 
they don't. That's people for you.

I had to rejig the IncludePage plugin too - my first go at negative 
lookahead regex :)

Any thoughts/comments/suggestions?

John.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] MySQL database via localhost?

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

After numerous (private) e-mails back and forth, John
and I have figured out the problem.  What it boils
down to is:

If you want/have to connect to your mysql server via
unix (rather than inet/tcp) sockets, you should:

 1. Make sure you are using recent Pear code,
    such as that which now ships with PhpWiki.
 2. Use DSNs like:
      'mysql://user:pw@unix(/path/to/mysql.socket)/dbname'

Probably, using the ADODB backend (if your
PhpWiki is recent enough) instead of the Pear-based
backend would work, too.

With older Pear code (including that which ships
with most distributions of PHP), it seems that
it is not possible to use unix sockets --- at least
not without some serious hacking.

[Phpwiki-talk] MySQL database via localhost

[Daniel B. <bo...@io...>]

you are probably having permission problems with mysql.
you need to tell mysql that dbusername can access via localhost.

It will help if you post the error messages. I myself, have never
played with phpwiki and a mysql, so I shouldn't really be answering
:), but if kershaw.org is your local computer (webserver and database
server on the same computer) and that kershaw.org dsn string works ok,
then I can't understand why just replacing kershaw.org with localhost
wouldn't work.

[Phpwiki-talk] MySQL database via localhost?

[John K. <jo...@ke...>]

Hi,

I discovered recently that I was used 1.5Gb of my bandwidth on 
'remote MySQL transfers' because I was using 'kershaw.org' as 
$hostname. My ISP said I should set $hostname to 
'localhost:/tmp/mysql.kershaw' in my php scripts and the requests 
will stay internal to the server.

I reduced my usage by a third, but realised a couple of my phpwikis 
were still using:

     'dsn' => 'mysql://dbusername:pas...@ke.../databasename',

I tried to change one of them to:

     'dsn' => 'mysql://dbusername: 
password@localhost:/tmp/mysql.kershaw/databasename',

but get a bunch of errors which I presume come from phpwiki parsing 
the hostname incorrectly out of the string.

How do I get things working properly?

(phpwiki 1.3.2)

John.

Hi Oliver,

I realized this by allocating different directories with the index.php file and
setting the"prefix" variable to different values. You have to create the
phpwiki-tables for each web with the different prefix. The call for a specific
web would then be "http://yourdomain/prefix/index.php".

What I am missing in this approach is that you have a central user definition
(e.g. like TWIKI).

I hope this helps

[Phpwiki-talk] Wiki questions

[Oliver Z. P. <web...@ps...>]

Hello wiki group!
I'm a new wiki user and I'm very amazed by it.

I plan to use wiki with some work groups and I have some questions:

1- Is it possible to restrict access inside areas of wiki?

2- how to use a lot of wikis at the same server? (with only one mysql base)

The reason of those questions are:
I have different work groups and some of them dont share the same topics. So
each group could have their own wiki.
Some topics that we deal are not for the public, and so we need a "member
only" wiki.

I think I could just place an .htaccess in the wiki folder, but I dont know
how to restrict access to a particular wiki .

Thanks!

Oliver

[Phpwiki-talk] cron jobs moved

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Just an admin note that SF instituted new shell servers and the cron jobs
had to be moved... this I did, and the creation of a nightly build and
update of the test and demo sites should continue as normal.

Anyone interested where I've been: started a new full time job in
February, which has kept me more than busy, to the point where I hardly
turn on my computers anymore when I go home! If you're even more curious
the home page is at http://www.capitalthinking.com/, and we make JSP-based
intranet apps for commercial real estate.

[Phpwiki-talk] problem on IIS/NT4

[Hardy H. <Har...@gf...>]

Found the really simple solution myself:

I've installed a fresh version of PHP and the register_globals was defaulted to
"OFF". I switched it "ON" and voila.

But The system is not really stable, sometimes the PHP crashes with ""access
violation".


I've two other sites running (Solaris/MySQL) with no problems (no publically
accessible sites, sorry)

Have fun with phpwiki

I've installed phpwiki 1.2.2 on MS IIS 4 and NT4, both with simple files and
with MSSQL 7 backend.
I'm running php 4.2.1 as cgi.

I'm able to start the wiki with "http://192.168.3.33/phpwiki/index.php" and I
see the front page.

When I click on a link the browser tries to open the page (e.g.)

   "http://192.168.3.33/phpwiki/index.php?WikiWikiWeb"

but it displays the front page. It seems that the information after the "?" is
not evaluated.

any hints?

[Phpwiki-talk] BackLinks problem with hyphenated titles

[Pradeep A. <pr...@at...>]

I'm a newbie; apologies if this is a known problem (or a "feature").

I'm using phpwiki 1.3.3, on an OpenBSD 3.0 box with PHP 4.0.6p1 and 
MySQL 3.24.42.

When I create a link with a hyphenated word using the bracket method, 
such as "[test-25]", I can then go the "test-25" page.  However, when I 
click on the title of the page (which is supposed to show the 
backlinks), it never finds pages that link to "test-25".  Also, 
"test-25" shows up in OrphanedPages.

This problem seems to be restricted to pages with hyphens in them (I've 
only tried it with hyphens followed by numbers, actually).

Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Pradeep Atluri

[Phpwiki-talk] dumb install problem

[Martin A. B. <ma...@cl...>]

Hi,

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here, but for the life in me, I can't
see what.

I've just installed a new wiki server and, as expected, if I go to

http://wikiserver/phpwiki/

I get a brand spanking new front page.  If I then go to:

http://wikiserver/phpwiki/?MyNewPage

I then (as expected) get told that this page doesn't exist and I should
click on the question mark. When clicked this link sends you to a URL of
the form

http://wikiserver/phpwiki/MyNewPage?action=edit

This 404's.  Can anyone suggest what glaringly obvious thing I've
missed?

After some more investigation, it looks like PHP is segfaulting.

Is anyone using PHP 4.1.2 successfully? Specifically, using it

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Intermittent Wiki

[Mark R. <mar...@ml...>]

OK,

Some more data:

In the apache error log, each attempt to access the wiki gives:
[Mon May 13 14:52:49 2002] [notice] child pid 4406 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Of course, the pid changes each time.

What's going on?

[Phpwiki-talk] Intermittent Wiki

[Mark R. <mar...@ml...>]

Hi all, 

I've been using a Wiki as my personal home page for a year or so.

My server is Debian unstable. 

PHP 4.1.2, mysql Ver 11.16 Distrib 3.23.49

I just upgraded to phpwiki 1.3.3. 

Now I get a blank response from the wiki: "server returned no data"

One time I got it to work by reloading the schema into mysql. it worked fine for
a while but was screwed up again the next day.

What does this mean? I don't have access to the apache logs. How can I troubleshoot my wiki?

The wiki is at 
http://mlug.missouri.edu/~markages/wiki

and can also be accessed as:
http://mark.rages.net
http://brian.rages.net
http://hudson.rages.net
etc. (I use wildcard DNS to map to Wiki pages for my family. But the first URL is the 
unmodified phpwiki install.)

[Phpwiki-talk] Vive la difference!

[John K. <jo...@ke...>]

Hi,

I've set up my various wikis to email me when pages are updated, and 
it sends me the text of the new page using:

     ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     //
     // From here on, we're actually saving.
     //

     mail("not...@ke...", "wiki-site update: " . 
$pagename, "http://www. 
wikisite.com/pages/$pagename?action=diff\n========\n" . $content, 
"From: no...@wi...");

in savepage.php (1.3.2)

Is there an easy way to adjust this so it just mails me the diff 
between the changed page and the previous version?

John.
