Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

John, Thank you. I was able to get the rewrite rules to work. I now have the wiki on a new host. Daryl On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 11:28 AM, John wrote: > Then it would appear that your rewrite rules are messed up: > > To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on > Wikimedia s

Then it would appear that your rewrite rules are messed up: To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at or try the new beta tool at . There are instru

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

John, As I posted previously, I am not an Apache admin. I know very little about it, and I know nothing of rewrite rules. I had previously tried going directly to the index.php, and I get redirected to the "/mediawiki/Main_Page". Thanks Daryl On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 10:45 AM, John wrote:

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

As I said leaving mediawiki in the root (pointing DocumentRoot to the mediawiki directory) is not recommended. When I set up a wiki I tend to put the code in /wiki and use rewrite rules to make /w the clean URLs. I would also check your rewrite rules too. Try going directly to your index.php page

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

John, I moved the entire wiki to a sub-directory called "mediawiki". Pointed the DocumentRoot to the path "/var/www/html/mediawiki", stop/started Apache. I'm still getting the same error: *The requested URL /mediawiki/Main_Page was not found on this server.* Is there another setting that I'm m

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

John, Are you suggesting that I create a sub-directory call "Mediawiki" and put the wiki there? I'll give it a try. Thanks. Daryl On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 9:49 AM, John wrote: > I would use a folder and not place mediawiki in the root of web server > > On Mon, Nov 20, 2017 at 10:28 AM Daryl

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

Brian, Thank you for the reply. Yes, I know that v1.25 is out of date and needs to be upgraded. I'll tackle that once I get it migrated over to a new environment. The original environment *WAS *an XAMPP and was installed as a Bitnami package. Because of security vulnerabilities, the entire env

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

First of all, Mediawiki 1.25 is out of date and has publically known security vulnerabilities. You should upgrade. For the error, I would start by checking $wgDBServer. If your db is on the same host as mediawiki and commandline is working, it could be something like using network vs local socket.

[MediaWiki-l] Cannot access the database

Hello, I just moved an existing environment from a SLES 11 SP4 xampp/Bitnami installation to a CentOS 7.4, Apache, MySQL, PHP environment. There were security issues with the original installation, so I had to move to something that I could upgrade components when as vulnerabilities are discovere
