[MediaWiki-l] Introducing Math rendering 2.0

2014-10-23 Thread Gabriel Wicke
Dear Wikipedians, We'd like to announce a major update of the Math (rendering) extension. For registered Wikipedia users, we have introduced a new math rendering mode using MathML, a markup language for mathematical formulae. Since MathML is not supported in all browsers [1], we have also added a

We (www.uesp.net) have a similar MediaWiki setup and here is roughly how we have set it up (whether it is a "good" design is another question): - Multiple content servers running Apache with identical copies of the MediaWiki PHP files - Squid load balancer in front of the content servers

Hi, Bill, Our setup involves a server containing the codebase (which is mounted over NFS), two web servers (which again use an NFS mount for the data), and one database server. We handle our sessions and caching with memcached, which is pooled between the two web servers. It's a very stable setup w

If minimizing downtime is a concern, then you might not want to serve up the code from a share. It's common in a load-balanced environment to take one or more web servers out of rotation, upgrade their code, then re-introduce them -- then take the other ones out, upgrade code, and bring them back i

OHYEAH, files! I suggest mounting an NFS share on both webservers so they will write to the same place. If you're going to do this for images, I think it should be done for the entire MW installation. Then you never have to worry about each webserver being on a different version -- every webse

2014-10-23 Thread Daniel Renfro
I think not including the tests/ directory is wrong. Not only is the release incomplete, it is inconsistent -- there is code that breaks when run (references to files that do not exist.) In my opinion, a robust open source software package such as MediaWiki should be proud to ship its unit-tests

Cheers Bill, If both webservers are using a single database, then their data should be synchronized. What other things are you looking to synchronize? You might want to look into setting up a distributed caching system (hint: use memcached [1].) This will share the cache amongst the webservers

2014-10-23 Thread Bill Traynor
I have 2 application servers behind a load-balancer that both point to a 3rd server where the database lives. I'm curious if there are any best practices around keeping the two MediaWiki servers synchronized? I found Extension:WikiSync (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiSync) but it doe
