Hi Frank,

I'm the Debian Maintainer for PHPwiki, so I'll see if I can help you out.

That's not very good. What version of the package were you upgrading from?
If you can send me some details about teh upgrade process, versions,
database backend, error messages, etc. I'll be happy to look into it and
make sure it's not a bug in the package. I have not had any other failed
upgrade reports recently.

That doesn't work for me. I get asked to sign in. I enter the values of

Is this while trying to load upgrade.php?

[Phpwiki-talk] upgrading: some problems

[Frank V. D. <fra...@gm...>]

Hi all,

(I hope I'm writing this to the right wiki now. This mail accidentally
ended up in pmwiki's mailing list first. Oops.)

I have a phpwiki running. It's on version 1.3.4 and when I upgraded my
distribution to Debian Etch lately, phpwiki stopped serving me wiki
pages but opted for error messages instead. They probably have
something to do with php being upgraded, but I'm not too concerned
about *that*.

Since Debian now offers packages of phpwiki, I figured it's about time
to upgrade, using the Debian packages. apt-get install phpwiki
blablabla ...

Debian installs version 1.3.12p3. Now the question. having read
INSTALL.mysql, I concluded that normally phpwiki should upgrade the
database when you start load phpwiki in a browser. If not, you could
add ?action=upgrade to the url.

That doesn't work for me. I get asked to sign in. I enter the values of
ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWD in /etc/phpwiki/config.ini respectively.
The result:

Fatal Error:
lib/WikiDB/backend/PearDB.php:1032: Error:
WikiDB_backend_PearDB_mysql: fatal database error
 DB Error: no such table
 (SELECT prefs FROM pref WHERE userid='phpwiki' [nativecode=1146 **
Table 'phpwiki.pref' doesn't exist])

Table 'phpwiki.pref' doesn't exist])

 Notice: Undefined property: WikiRequest::$_user in
/usr/share/phpwiki/lib/main.php on line 736
 DB Error: no such fieldDB Error: no such field


I did not forget to give the phpwiki mysql user create table/alter
table privileges.

Could someone give me a gentle push in the back please?

[Phpwiki-talk] A few comments

[Morten S. <ab...@si...>]

Hi, I have just started to use phpwiki, and have installed version 1.2.10
which as far as I could understand was the current stable a couple of
weeks ago. I have two wishlist items and two possible bugs. I have been
looking around a bit, but have so far not been able to see if any work is
been done on these issues.

Would you recommend using any newer version than 1.2.10?

WL 1: css In 1.2.10, the page color and so on is defined in the body tag.
I am going to use css to be able to tweak the look of the pages a bit
more. Has this been done in any newer version? I am going to rewrite my
own installation, so  if there is any interest, I can contribute my
patches.

WL 2: table prefix. I wanted to run two separate wikis on a domain that is
run by a ISP I have access to one mysql database there, so to be able to
run two separate wikis on that database, i need to be able to define som
prefix or suffix on the tables. (like eg wordpress is doing)

For both the bugs, I am not quite sure if the problem can be solved from
withing phpwiki or if it is on another level, but, anyhow, it is two
issues I ran accross:

bug 1: When installing the second wiki, I had to use dba rather than
mysql. After some trial and failure with a blank page, I found out that my
ISP was using db4 libs... (I found them using phpinfo()) I do not know if
it is possible, but if that does not work automagically, the configuration
is far from userfriendly.. Could it be possible to somehow give some more
feedback of what is happening? Also, make explicit driver selections that
can be commented out. Hmm, this maybe ended up as a whishlist item...

bug 2: Administration / login. One of my wikis runs in a password
protected area on my server. Even if  I set it up with the same password
valid for external login and on the admin, I cannot log onto admin as long
as the directory is password protected. This may of cource be an issue
with how http-autentication is working. Maybe you could change the admin
password to use some custom session administration system rather than http
autentication?

anyhow, thanks for a great little software package! I would not have
bothered to write this if I did not generally like what I was seeing!


My server: php 446, apache 2.0.something / linux 2.4.x
browser: tested in Firefox on Win XP and linux as well as Konqueror on linux.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Uploading files into Phpwiki

[Reini U. <ru...@x-...>]

no, never on the server. but certain clients could execute this in the
worst case on pageview, and normally when they click on it.

by forcing the uploader to rename it, the user must rename it to
original to be able to execute it.

I'm not that Microsoft Windows aware but this is a client executable
not a server one isn't it ?

I mean, there are no risks to see this vbs executed on the server
(even a windows one) ?

There's still the cockpit error risc. The risc of unaware users, who
just upload .vbs files as one just did yesterday in my companies'
super-secure intranet. Thanksfully we had the extension check.

After renaming the .vbs to .vbs_ he could upload it, and users could
download it without immediate execution.

In our site apache is configured to not execute files into the upload
directory of PhpWiki. Could this be sufficient?

We commented this line in the config file:
;INLINE_IMAGES = "png|jpg|jpeg|gif"

So I think that there is no risk with inlined images.
BTW, we also turned off getimagesize() because it make the page loading very
slow. Will there be then any risk related to spam prevention ?

Ah, this is the problem! We heavily patched Wysiwig. you have to use

We do the table editing with the help of the RichTable plugin.
It's not that cool as with Confluence, but phpwiki has more advanced
features in its plugins.

The risc is only due to apache or webserver or browser configurations
so that people might execute unwanted programs. In a secure or trusted
environments I would turn off this extensions check.

Be aware of INLINE_IMAGES. This list of extensions will be inlined and executed
per page view.

files and others are not allowed to be uploaded for security reasons.
This raised several questions in my team:

- Could the risk be related to apache and upload directory =
configurations ?
- If we configure apache to not execute files in the upload directory, =

Is there any illustration/evidence related to the subject that was =
identified or discussed before.

What do you advise ?

plugin arguments get distorted, but the controls and the radio buttons

Long time no post.  I am trying to find out the status of WYSIWYG editing.
The reason being that a lot of my users (my manager in particular) are
unhappy to use wiki markup, and hence are less inclined to use phpwiki and
want to move to another wiki, probably confluence.  What is the status of
Wysiwyg, and how long before is is working well enough to do it?

I am also having difficulty getting Wikiwyg working in a new instance of the

[Phpwiki-talk] Authentication not persisting

[<da...@an...>]

While working with phpwiki, I have run into a problem which has frustrated me
repeatedly for quite some time now. So I would like to open my case for review
by the experts.

Context:
A (considerably customized) wiki with a single administrator logon, no other
user accounts. Administrator gets password from config file.

Symptoms:
Administrator logs on, at which point user is authenticated and signed.
However, the logon does not stick, and the next page which is loaded is back to
only being signed, not authenticated.

Analysis:
In my searching, I believe I have nailed it down to the following:
In request.php
  in class Request_SessionVars

it attempts to save an object of type AdminUser into the session variable
'wikiuser'. However it is not retrievable on a reload of the page.

However, if I slightly modify the code so that instead of saving an AdminUser
object to the session variable wikiuser, it saves the UserPreferences object of
that AdminUser object, it is able to load the UserPreferences object back in.

Additionally, when tweaked to save the print_r of the AdminUser object (so
saving a long string to session var) it works correctly.

Only when attempting to save the AdminUser object does it not work.



My guess is that the AdminUser object cannot save because it seems to contain
references to database resources..? But I have tried modifying the AdminUser
object to not include these references with no result.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Caledar List

Hello Reini,

Thanks, but the Calendar List in "Browse CVS" on the SF site is

  CalendarList.php,v 1.9 2006/05/14 17:40:31 rurban
  Sun May 14 17:40:31 2006 UTC (9 months, 3 weeks ago) by rurban

and that is what I have on disk.

I also replaced Calendar.php (now I have weeknums, cool ;-)
but that also didn't help with the list problem.

Any other file I need to replace ?

If the file is not yet in CVS, could you please mail it to me?

Thanks, Cheers,
Tom.

[Phpwiki-talk] Caledar List

[Tom E. <ro...@te...>]

Hi again,

The CalendarList plugin seems to be broken in 1.3.12p3.

Today is 2007-03-04. I have the Calendar started without a date
and it correctly shows the "today".
But the CalendarList shows dates from 2007-03-01 until 2007-03-22.
(i.e. dates from 3 days ago)

Now when I click "next month" twice (month=5&year=2007) the list is
empty, although I have (and the calendar shows) dates in Mai.

When going back in time: month=2&year=2007 displays
all dates 2007-02-02 - 2007-03-22

I have
<?plugin Calendar?>
<?plugin CalendarList next_n_days='40'?>

Do I need to put more / other options  ?

Thanks & Cheers, Tom.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] all page requests just showing start page

[Tom E. <ro...@te...>]

Thanks,

I found out this very minute that it will work immediately when setting
register_long_arrays = On in the php config.
I could "rollback" any changes to my system and config, that solved
caused the problem.
(What I didn't realize is that one needs to restart tomcat for
such config.ini changes nowadays... :-( )

We should give this thing as a debugging hint in the "REQUIREMENTS".

I see you noted "support php5 with register_long_arrays = off" in
the release notes. Well, for the apache2/php coming "out of the box"
in SuSE 10.2 this does not work with phpwiki-1.3.12p3.
("Hardened-PHP Project" ?)

I can provide more php config info or test stuff, if you want.

Have nice day!
Tom.

You can also try to add this to your lib\prepend.php

updates). My "old" Phpwiki phpwiki-1.3.11rc3 didn't run for strange
reasons ("Object of class RawXml could not be converted to string")
so I tried to go forward with a phpwiki-1.3.12p3.

The new system has

Server version: Apache/2.2.3

PHP 5.2.0 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.1 (cli) (built: Nov 27 2006 22:39:24)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

But somehow it doesn't work too cool:

The start page gets displayed alright, but whatever I do then, I just
get the start page read-only again. No link works.
That with both USE_PATH_INFO true and false. (And AcceptPathInfo On)


I suspect that phpwiki is not given the environment info by the
apache or php, because
1) I had to set SERVER_NAME etc manually for it to work and

2) I get with every request:
"lib/Request.php:71: Notice: Undefined index: REMOTE_ADDR"
(and also "lib/Request.php:73: Warning: gethostbyaddr(): Address
is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address") and

3) the access log looks like
 - - [04/Mar/2007:01:41:15 0100] "  " 200 28455 "" ""
 - - [04/Mar/2007:01:46:14 0100] "  " 200 28455 "" ""
 - - [04/Mar/2007:01:46:37 0100] "  " 200 28455 "" ""
 - - [04/Mar/2007:01:46:47 0100] "  " 200 28455 "" ""
 - - [04/Mar/2007:01:46:56 0100] "  " 200 28455 "" ""

whereas the apache has me logged in:

192.168.10.5 - teicher [04/Mar/2007:01:46:47 +0100] "GET
/index.php?pagename=Steuer HTTP/1.1" 200 28455

192.168.10.5 - teicher [04/Mar/2007:01:46:48 +0100] "GET

SUSE/1.0.99-18 SeaMonkey/1.1b"

(The above pathes after fiddling a bit the config.ini parameters,
but it's was the same "out of the box"...)

I tried to allow php globals etc and all such php settings that seemed
related, but never saw a change in behaviour.

Also strange: First thing, I did have to comment out index.php
line 55 "If any page is empty,...", I don't think I had to
do that in the old version...

What I'm trying to do is to get the wiki running behind my
Apaches BasicAuth on a SSL port.

Any hints, ideas, specific requests for more info are greatly
appreciated!

Tonight, luck wasn't with the diligent ;-/

Thanks in advance, Cheers,
Tom.

Please fix the id=3Dactionbuttons line at
phpwiki\themes\Crao\templates\actionbar.tmpl to:


<div <?=3D isBrowserIE() ? "class=3D\"ie-actionbuttons\"" :=20

Thanks! I just fixed that in CVS.

Your browser needs to be able to render mathml. mozilla does this since 
about a year, MS Internet Explorer needs a plugin AFAIK.

Thanks for I reporting. I'll try to reproduce these.

[Phpwiki-talk] Making a book from a phpWiki

[Anton A. <cor...@ho...>]

I have somehow managed to install and set up phpWiki which comes as optional 
Software from my internet host service provider where I have rented a shared 
hosting service. The phpWiki version is 1.3.11 Release 19. I know my 
computer pretty well tsarting from DOS up to XP but I have no server 
administration or programming knowledge. In other word, I am an educated if 
not expert user, but I am no programmer. Please keep this in mind when 
answering. If possible, and solutions should either be easily done within 
phpWiki or on a PC with WinXP (I know this is crap but I am working for and 
never had the time to unlearn and re-learn Linux or something else).

I am running a little project with a few people on phpWiki. I have only 
discovered this possibility recently and its really really great, the best 
team-working tool I could have imagined. Using the Wiki over time we will be 
able to collectively write up all that we want to know and tell about our 
subject.

Finally, I anticipate that, we would like to publish the whole thing as a 
book with about 500 pages (on paper).

Now here is the question: How do I efficiently convert my entire phpWiki 
into a word processor document (oOo or MS-Word) so that it can be edited, 
chapterized and eventually published?

Thank you all very much in advance for your attention and your kind 
assistance.

Hi,=20

I am trying to use your PhpWiki AsciiMath plugin without success. It =
seems
to partially work since it generates the special HTML-like expressions =
but
the graphics are not rendered. See below for the "span" captured from a

Is something else needed to render the graphics?=20
