Topic: Anyone got SME6.0 & MediaWiki Working?

[SMEmike]

Has anyone tried to install MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/) on SME6.0?

My results to date are:
- expand tar file in a local directory
- move all files to /home/e-smith/files/ibay/Primary/html
- chmod config directory as per mediawiki install instructions
- goto http://servername/  which starts mediawiki installation
- fill out mediawiki form (mysql db name & users) to finish installation
- move LocalSettings.php as per mediawiki install instructions
- goto http://servername/  to access mediawiki home page which results in the following error:

[pear_error: message="fopen("/tmp/tpl_0_7_0_f387da85b84bd4d8cda7ac916c5f4c92.php", "w") - Operation not permitted" code=0 mode=return level=notice prefix="" info=""]

Here is what I have tried to fix:
- a simple test.php file containing "<? phpinfo(); ?>" which works fine.
- /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set php service AllowUrlFopen On status enabled  makes no difference.
- /var/log/messages has nothing for this particular error
- used grep to search for "fopen" in the PHP code but am getting hopelessly lost (I'm not a PHP coder although I bought a book on it once!)

Any suggestions from PHP programmers out there would be greatly appreciated.

I went on to trial mediawiki on another linux server and got it running.  My next step for trialing on SME would be to upgrade the php version (which I haven't done yet).  You can get SME 6.0.1 upgrade RPMs at:

Good luck.

Sorry to say this.... But I'm a real newbie and got MediaWiki working on my site.

I also installed pmWiki and DokuWiki.

I was looking for a good wiki that implements an Access Control List (ACL).

I have also updated PHP which i think MediaWiki also requires..

All i did to install MediaWiki was;

1) download the latest stable source
2) untarred the code
3) created the mysql table
4) Created the mysql username and password for the wiki
5) Opened the url to the new wike and followed the instructions.

Thats it..

Hope this helps...
