Mediawiki Engine problems.

[wau]

I need the following forbidden extensions for mediawiki:

.sh
.phtml
.xsd
.htaccess
.types
Makefile
.c
.manual
Doxyfile
.diff
.svningore
.ml
.mli
.mll
.mly
.ser
.sample
.xcf

I simply listed filetypes it wouldn't allow me to upload.

You probably don't need most of those. You definitely don't need .htaccess

[Tyler]

Try it first without them, if it dosen't work then you need to zip each file you need and post it here so we can see it.

I can tell you already that .htaccess will never be allowed.

I was going to try to install one on my site soon, and was going to ask if it can be installed here's the download site for it http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download

[Tyler]

As per the rules, for us to look at anything you have to upload it to our servers, we dont want to go clicking and searching for it.

[arenlor]

it's in a .tar.gz format and I don't know what to open it with and it's too big to upload when zipped.

[Tyler]

I think winzip will decompress that.

[arenlor]

I found out that 7-zip does it for free. Just a tip. And here is the upload.

[arenlor]

Ok I did a test to see if it'd install and now I'm confuzzled as can be, I think it's saying it'll install, but am not sure. It told me this was important to copy and paste for technical support

I was scrolling down your post and I noticed this:

# PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed.

Unfortunately, the admin here have stated clearly they 8MB is the limit. They won't increase..... Better luck with other apps, perhaps.

The only thing of importance in this result is the mysql query at the end, the rest does not matter.

Either the query is invalid, or not compatible with MySQL 5.

You need to contact the script authors.
