Title: Anyone got SME6.0 & MediaWiki Working?
Post by: SMEmike on November 10, 2004, 05:01:24 AM

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.

Title: MediaWiki
Post by: rport on December 30, 2004, 12:38:26 AM

Sorry to say this.... But I'm a real newbie and got MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.com) working on my (http://www.testedgroup.com) site.

I also installed pmWiki (http://www.pmwiki.org) and DokuWiki (http://www.splitbrain.org/dokuwiki/wiki:dokuwiki).

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

I have also updated PHP (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=25275.0) which i think MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.com) also requires..

All i did to install MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.com) was;

1) download the latest (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wikipedia/mediawiki-1.3.9.tar.gz?download) stable source
2) untarred the code
3) created the mysql (http://www.mysql.com/) 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...
