much better is to use absolute pathnames. in one stage we do chdir
(into the locale)
and I forgot what else does a chdir implicitly.

This is wrong. CACHE_DIR is used for editing and some plugins.
I'll fix that.

out of /tmp even if I am not having database set to file?

To quote from config.ini:

Ok, I'll have a look at that and see if it works then

I have also set

even though I have not tried to do any dumps (yet).-

[Phpwiki-talk] lib/FileFinder.php:191 Error: /tmp: file not found

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

I just have tried to upgrade a phpwiki installation from 1.2.10 to the latest. 
I am trying to set it up at an isp where I have no access whatsoever outside 
my own directory and no possibility to do anything on the set up of the 
server.

I am then only greeted with

Fatal Error:
lib/FileFinder.php:191 Error: /tmp: file not found 

lib/FileFinder.php:191 Error: /tmp: file not found 

This happens both when (trying to) using dba and mysql. 

I have been looking into config.ini, and changed all occurences of /tmp there 
to tmp and made a directory tmp under my phpwiki installation that is 
writeable for the server. No help. When grepping for /tmp in the source, I 
find quite a few occurances where that is hard coded, so it seems to me that 
even if I am telling it through config.ini to stay away from /tmp, it cannot 
be avoided (without going deep diving into the code) e.g. in l
lib/WikiDB/backend/dba.php I find:

class WikiDB_backend_dba
extends WikiDB_backend_dbaBase
{
    function WikiDB_backend_dba ($dbparams) {
        $directory = '/tmp';
        $prefix = 'wiki_';
...

of cource, it might be that the $directory is set to something else further 
down the road through the extract($dbparams) call, but it is obious that it 
is presently no simple way for an end user  (even one with quite a bit of php 
experience) to tell phpwiki to stay away from /tmp

It depends on what you need. Authentication, ACL, many new plugins?

1.3.13 would be my choice (if I used PhpWiki again) but 
http://phpwiki.org/ states since nearly one year "The current 1.3.x 
phpwiki on sf.net is currently down, due to yet unknown 
circumstances" so there is a risk you get in trouble, too. I'm 
running 1.3.12p3 without larger problems, but I once had a problem 
with PhpWiki 1.3.4 when my ISP updated to PHP 4.4.4 (database 
corrupted, had to restore from plain text backup).

Sorry for not answering that fast as it used to happen here.

1. I was the whole week on a business trip and my UMTS modem didn't work 
in germany and england.

2. Your question is a FAQ. Loosing session information is very common. 
Unusual is that you debugged the code very far. But a solution is still 
pending.
We should really switch to a more light weight session handling with 
simple hashes instead of objects.
But this will not happen until summer.

The most common error is within your php installation.

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

[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

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.

Few days ago, I recieved a claim from a customer in our company about =

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 =

What do you advise ?

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
1.3.13rc1.  Ther is just a banner about the Beta quality, but no controls to
do editing with, or switch in/out of wysiwig mode.  So any ideas
appreciated.
Cheers

[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.

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.

Try the latest CalendarList version from CVS or the latest release. This 
error was fixed recently.

[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.
