Software :: Migrating A Mediawiki Install To A New Server?
Oct 26, 2010
I'm migrating a mediawiki install to a new server, everything (files and database) have been moved over, however when bringing up the site I'm presented with an error that states the following
Code:
MediaWiki requires PHP 5.0.0 or higher. You are running PHP 4.3.9.
I've been asked to upgrade and transfer an old version (1.9.3) of MediaWiki from an Apple platform to a new version (1.16.X) on a Linux (Ubuntu) platform.
Restrictions:
I cannot upgrade then transfer nor can I transfer then upgrade.It's supposed to be an import of old MediaWiki data into a new MediaWiki install. Will this go smoothly or will this be a screaming eye-clawing nightmare?
PS: Yes, I know to backup everything, before I do anything.
We have a Windows 2K8 domain with Exchange 2010. I have setup a Ubuntu Server to be used as an internal wiki. Installed AMP on it and have MediaWiki running. Now I would like to setup SendmailToWiki extension. The only problem is that I do not know how do I make sendmail to work inside the LAN her with the Exchange server? This is the extension: [URL]
The e-mail address that is used in the extension is dynamic(changes for every user, since each user sets its own pinkode). And the script sets the domain part off the email to the last part off the IP of the ubuntuserver. For example: wikipost+2.12345@62.85. I cant send an email to half of an IP, can I? What I need to configure or not?
I think I've installed MediWiki as you can see (I Just follow some steps from a site...)but whateveI done (Disabling SELinux) making /var/www/html/wiki/ and var/www/html/wiki/readable to my current user (even I make my regular user the owner of all directory and files in these folderes) but nothing happenthen according to some advice I changed the permission to 644 but I become worse and now I don't have the previous picture (on that at least the wiki theme could be seen sth ) but now I encountering this error message:
Code: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /wiki/ on this server.
In the past I found some great help on this forum, so here goes. Bare with me because it's a long story. I'll try to be as complete as possible. I've installed and configured OpenLdap on a virtual machine with ip 192.168.39.134. I've added 2 users via LAM. In the ou WikiUsers and the domain is wiki.local.
I've then created another host with ip 192.168.39.133 with mediawiki installed on it. Then I added the extension LDAPAuthenthication. In the LdapAuthentication file I added this code (only the last paragraph is mine, I added the others to show it's location in the script):
I know I'm close because I can't register any new users or accounts on the mediawiki site. Although I could before I added the LDAP service. This is indeed all just to test and get to know how LDAP works. That's why it's all virtual in VMWare. I did not really configure anything on the LDAP, i just installed it and chose a domain (wiki.local).
I want to migrate our old NIS system to 389 Directory Server.
What I have done: * Installed Redhat 5 x86_64 * Installed 389 from EPEL * Imported NIS Data into 389 with LdapImport from Babel * Authentification over LDAP is working. (POSIX Accounts) * Installed slapi-nis
I configured slapi-nis module (dse.ldif) from the readme --> nis-getting-started.txt. And ypserver is running. But what should I do next? I don't know how to " Configuring a Domain and a Map". Where should I configure it? Commandline ? 389-console?
I have around 12 users, with their profiles present on a Windows 2003 Active Directory and I would like to migrate to an open source free alternative.Could you recommend any alternative that supports the migration of user files from Active Directory?
i have recently started using kde 4.x. I am trying to find out where are some kde 3.x feautures and how i can use them under kde 4.x
To be more specific: A)IN kde 3.4 i was using multiple desktops. I still remember that i could see in my taskbar a preview of every virtual desktop and what applications are currently open on each desktop. In kde 4.x these icons are so small so i can't see any preview so there are not as useful as in previous verions
B)In kde 3.x i could easily create desktop shortcuts by dragging and droping icons. Right click on desktop gives no such an option.
C)What is the plasma dashboard(something like that)? Actually there is a small shortcut in the taskbar that seems to be working like the old one show desktop shortcut.
With the release of openSUSE 11.3 I decided to upgrade my three-year old computer which is running 11.0 and has been running out of disk for the last few months. I bought a new 500Gb HDD and installed it as the master drive, and moved my old drive to the slave. I installed 11.3 on the new drive. Too easy.Then I tried to mount my old drive so I could move my account files across. I wasn't able to mount the drive, which uses LVM (Logical Volume Manager). Is there any reason this wouldn't be recognised by 11.3?Then I tried to mount my new drive from my old system but 11.0 doesn't have support for the ext4 filesystem. I loaded the ext4dev kernel module with no joy:
When I came in...one of the servers is a small webserver that just hosts our website, it used to host a scalix e-mail server but I've since moved to Google Apps.Anyways, I've been slowly converting the servers to VMware, I'm onto the Webserver now.I am Running CentOS5.5, I've installed the new server on the VMware client. What I don't know how to do is copy the apache 2.0 server (which files,commands,etc) over to the new one so that I can start to run the web server from the VM.
My machine came with one drive installed with XP. I put a second drive in and installed 11.2. Dual boot. I'm replacing the XP drive (keep intact) with a new one but don't want to lose the ability of booting off the second drive. I want the new drive to be first drive in the system.
Description: I want to migrate all home directories and users from one webserver to another. The old server runs OpenSuSE 11.2 and the new one OpenSuSE 11.4. I appended only the userpart of the passwd file from the old server to the new one. I did the same with the shadow file and the group file. I checked the user rights for all three of them and they were ok (shadow 600). I have done such a migration before and at that time it worked fine. Now for the weird part:
Errors: At first it seemed everything was ok. Websites and webshops were visible and working correctly. At first ftp seemed to work fine. Login worked but when uploading files, the error messages appeared: permission denied. Further testing gave following results:
-Root and users can login on console with their old passwords.Root can create new users, but they can not login: some error message comes, but is unreadable since it stays too short on display. After that it prints hint: on a new line and on another new line it gives a new login prompt. Root and users can change user's password, but then they can not login anymore. The same unreadable error message appears. -Users can login with ftp, even after changing passwords(!) but can not change or add files var/log/messages only shows: uthentication failure twice.
Actions so far: Emptied /tmp reboot copied the users again from passwd and shadow checked UID's and GID's again googled a lot
I need a new OS and heard about Suse for the longest time and wanted to give it a go. It's gonna be hard to let go of Win 2k, but with support degrading I need a OS that's rock stable like 2k. My main concern is application compatibility so I can run my current windows app in Suse. Ultimately I would want a multiboot so I don't lose windows 2k.

I've been using a wubi install of Ubuntu 10.10 for the past few months on my girlfriend's laptop, which has less hardware issues than my more recent laptop. Now that I'm a little more versed in Ubuntu, I'd like to transfer my Wubi install onto an actual partition on my laptop drive for a traditional dual boot.
Is this possible, and if anyone's done this before, would you be able to spare a few minutes and outline the process? I wouldn't know where to start and how to do things since I'm dealing more or less with a file system acting like a partition than an actual one.
I found the steps of migrating a Wubi install to partion via the Wubi Guide, but it seems those are steps for migrating a wubi install to a new partition on the same computer.
I want to upgrade from another distro to ubuntu server for a few reasons. The only problem is I have a lot of data that needs to survive. here is how my computer is setup. I've 5 drives on the computer,
A- 10gb drive for OS and swap only, no data
B,C,D,E - 4x 500 GB drives in a LVM. they make up one large drive with xfs and this volume has about 1.2 TB of data. there is nothing fancy on it, no encryption and no software raid of course the little 10gb drive can be formatted no problem, but the LVM needs to be migrated over intact.
can i just copy/backup postfix mail queues in /var/spool/postfix and paste that folder back in after i done migrating all users and mails to a new mailserver?
I have changed to ubuntu a few months ago from windows, where I used to have a mediawiki set up on a local server. This wiki was used for notes, archiving, document management, file storage, calendaring, almost everything that most people do with a normal directory tree on their drives.
Unfortunately, I have not yet managed to install a local media wiki on my ubuntu 10.04 LTS system so far. I have tried it once and messed up the php-stuff so badly that I had to reinstall the entire system in order for it to work in a acceptable speed.
how to set up a current version mediawiki (or an older version, if that's the only chance) as a local wiki in 10.04 LTS? There is no network access to the wiki, just local access using a firefox browser on the machine where it is installed.
I'm trying on getting the MIME types setup correctly for Apache/MediaWiki. I think I've modified every config file known to man to no avail. Here's some info on what I've got going on. I'm trying to get the Office 2007 MIME types configured for MediaWiki 1.14 so that we can upload/download the files. Out of frustration/lack of need I went the less secure route and I modified the LocalSettings.php config file to disable MIME type verification for uploads.
Code: $wgVerifyMimeType = false;
This works great for the uploads, and I can upload .DOCX, .XLSX, and .PPTX all day long, however when downloading them, they download as a .ZIP file with all the XML info inside of it. No biggie for me personally as I can just rename .ZIP to .DOCX and it works fine, however for the average user it's not going to fly. So, I figured that MIME types would be the source of my pain and started doing some research.
I have modified the following config files to include the MIME types listed below. /etc/mime.types /var/www/.htaccess (created to try and force them) /var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/.htaccess (created to try and force them) /var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/includes/mime.types
Code: application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 xltm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx It doesn't seem to matter where I put the code, I can't get the MIME types to register with Apache/MediaWiki.
I have downloaded the Mediawiki demo appliance from UEC store. I have installed it and also it is running. I would like to know how to access the mediawiki demo appliance. I tried accessing it as [URL] but is not accessible.
I downloaded latest mediawiki, moved the tarball to /usr/share/ exploded the tarball via
Code:
then
Code:
Then in your web browser point to local host 127.0.0.1/wiki
It will then bring you to the wiki configuration setup pages, and you may install databases for this package via phpmyadmin. im going to remove the alias to php my admin after i am done using it again to cut off outside world from seeing the php my admin login page for security reasons.
Im going to do this by adding a # infront of the alias in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf and making it look like this.
Code:
My next to default ubuntu install says we should install caching, and pecl.
Pecl search in synaptic shows dh-make-php as first result. install that, then install [url] extension for mediawiki. i already have apache mysql and php installed, but if you dont have those installed they are requried.
download latest [url], tar -xf intl* to explode package.
## im clearly going to have to refine this.... php-apc shows up in synaptic, installing it does not stop the wiki installer page from throwing errors. going to try [url] to see if that resolves one
download the latest source of eaccelerator. [url]
tar -xf eaccelerator source package to explode it,
phpize command tells me i need php-dev package, i pull the package from synaptic. i also grab libicu-dev while i am at it.
Code:
goes through, then
Code:
Code:
add to the top of the file the e accelerator info.
Code:
Code:
Code:
Then purge eaccelerator source directory and pure the tarball out of your system.
At this point we are going to make a database for the mediawiki by uncommenting the alias that keeps phpmyadmin shut off from attacks.
Code:
Then
Code:
Then point the browser @ 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
Then setup your database for wikipedia, i named mine wiki
Make a user, i named mine wiki.
Password your database, and follow prompts in the media wiki package
Comment the alias of phpmyadmin to disable the phpmyadmin pannel/address
Restart apache and your good to go on linking the wiki.
I want to upgrade mediawiki software from version 1.6 to version 1.16 . The newer version is supposed to be installed on another server. I am trying to migrate the old mediawiki mysql database with no success.
I'd like to understand the "CentOS Way" of installing MediaWiki. I've installed MediaWiki on other distributions and platforms before by simply by unzipping the MediaWiki code into the appropriate Apache folder and configuring away. I understand that the preferred way of installing applications on CentOS is via yum or rpm. Should I look for a MediaWiki RPM or simply unzip as I have in the past? I have a CentOS 5.3 VPS.

Ubuntu 11.04 with wubi installed.
If i do migrate over a wubi installed to create ext4 & swap partitions as a standalone ubuntu bootloader instead of a windows boot manager, will all my data and desktop setting on ubuntu gone when migrating?Can i just migrate without resizing my windows partition?
I'm in the process of duplicating all the data from my existing filesystems to a new storage solution. I know it is not recommended to do so but this will be a *lot* faster then having to reinstall and reconfiguring the system from scratch...I've synchronized the filesystems using rsync, used the following command line for that:
To make sure all data is mirrored properly, the next step is to boot into a live system and rerun rsync to copy any previously locked/altered files to the new storage. After moving this, I know I have to edit /etc/fstab on the new storage to make it match the proper UID for the drives. I also have to update grub and install grub into MBR of the new storage.
I recently converted from MS 2003 to Ubuntu 10.04.1 and i wish to change the filesystem of all my data disks from NTFS to EXT but i have run into a problem. When i delete the old nfts partition and create an EXT4 partition, i can see that on the newly created partiton the used space is about 20gb. I used gparted for this. I have read that EXT reserves some space for root, but since all the disks i wan't to convert is only used for data and not OS, i see no need for the reserved space. I found some commands to turn of the root space but that did not work so i changed to resiserfs but that very slow, unstable and under limited development.
