Ubuntu :: Setup MediaWIki As Personal Wiki (pim)?
Jul 15, 2010
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 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.

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 created some little .deb packages which are running fine within my local box. Now I like to create a personal repo for testing branch to distribute those .deb. I have a hosting space based on cetos server where I have both ftp as well as ssh access and I can create a subdomain there pointing to a folder which I can define. So based on this scenario what might be the best way for me to create a debian signed repo ? I have found
- dpkg-scanpackages
- reprepro
Which can create such repo for testing branch; as main non-free contrib style.

I have Fedora 12 installed on my computer and I'm trying to set up a printer and a scanner for my personal use. The printer is a Canon LBP 3200 and the scanner a Mustek 1200 UB Plus. Both are connected via USB.For the printer i managed to install a driver, but it will still not print. It only ejects blank pages. For the scanner i tried sane, but to no avail.

I am trying to set up a home web server for my personal site using Ubuntu 11.04 and Apache. I have set up a user called www and given it FTP access to its home area (/home/www) using vsftpd. I then edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and set the DocumentRoot directive to /home/www. When I made a test index.html file in that directory it worked fine. Then I FTP'd to the server (as www) from another PC and uploaded the site files. Now when I try to access the site I get an error 403 (forbidden).Obviously I'm doing something wrong here but I'm not sure what. What should I do to fix this.

I have a simple issue that I think can be solved with several different methods. I basically want to create a personal server solution that allows me to do two things:
1.) I want to be able to remotely backup data to my server.
2.) I want to be able to pass traffic through it and use it as a proxy.
I am off to college next year and I want to leave a computer/server back home to do the two things stated above. I was thinking of using an Asus Eee Box PC like this:url
I want a low power reliable machine that will only be used as a remote solution. I won't be hooking up a monitor to it (that is, after I set it up).
It will be on 24/7 for easy access.
I will be accessing this server from a Windows 7 based machine.
I do not mind at all installing Linux on my server, but I am not an experienced coder so I will need software with a GUI that can help me set this all up.

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'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.

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.
However from the command line I get
Code:
[bleon]$ php -v
PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Jul 31 2008 00:08:07)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
why mediawiki is still thinking I'm running php4?

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'm tryin' to set a wiki system using phpWiki (Debian Squeezy + PHP5).I'm having two issues:1) When using Firefox (3.6) or Internte Explorer, if I load the "home page", http://myHost/phpwiki/(I put php under /var/www/phpwiki directory) the browser ask if I want to download the file.If I use another browser (ex Midori or Arora) the php works and display de home page.Am I missing something with the Apache or phowiki config.? If I use a test php page works ok both with Firefox or IE.2) In phpwiki config I selected $LANG="es" in order to use spanish language. But it didn't work up to now.

I would like to grab wiki code from a wiki page using wget. Running this grabs HTML:
wget -O wikihtml.html [URL]
The first attempt at getting wiki code was to pretend to edit, and run:
wget -O wikiedit.html [URL]
but of course that grabs GUI HTML. I thought perhaps the text inside the text box would be in tact, but HTML is througout. How to get just the raw wiki code?

I was looking at the MythTV wiki to look at possible developments related to some troublesome hardware of mine, and I noticed that all the tuner card pages are being removed...
The message reads "clearing out local tuner pages" ...
There are significant pieces of information that are being removed... Some of which are not present on the wikis for related projects (like IVTV).
Does anyone know; Is this an official edit?!
Also the MythTV.org home page is looking pretty.
Is there something going on within the MythTV developer community?

I need some piece of software that follows the requirements below. So here's the scenario:
1. I need some piece of software that will allow me to edit related articles in a wiki-like fashion. I will be the only one editing this "wiki" though.
2. I need to be able to do searches/queries on the wiki content in a very flexible but also very concise way:
- The usual search for an expression in all articles or only some category(ies) but also:
- Wiki links to other wiki pages based on configurable criteria, e.g. articles belonging to some category(ies): I mean something like right-clicking would open a sort of database form to perform a query that would use the said link as expression but would only be run after you'd chosen your other criteria.
- If anyway possible, do the above for any selected text on the page you were watching...
3. Ideally this would be one single application of course. But I'm perfectly alright with coupling two or even more together as long as they do integrate with each other flawlessly.

I've been reluctant to post regarding this topic as I have tried and retried all of the "noob solutions" to get flash sound working but no luck- I need help! I suspect that it has to do with my system showing two sound cards (0 and 1) ; I tried different asoundrc file options from the ALSA Wiki but no luck. I am still left with Flash=No Audio.

is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.
