wiki update

I’ve just updated the wiki. Sorry for the long downtime – I am still not sure about what actually happened.

Anyway, the wiki is now running 1.15.1 and the upgrade was rather easy. I haven’t exactly followed the upgrade docs, but I think I prefer to not have the message about re-installing show on the main site.

So, what I did was:

  • Upload the new version into a new folder
  • Set the main site to read-only; this is done by adding a line $wgReadOnly = "Down for maintenance."; to LocalSettings.php.
  • Backup the database.
  • Run the installer from the uploaded new version
  • Once complete, move the new LocalSettings.php as required.
  • Edit again to change the var $wgScriptPath to reflect the path of the live site (empty string)
  • Edit/configure whatever else needs to be done
  • Rename the current wiki folder to wiki.old
  • Rename the uploaded new version from mediawiki-1.15.1 to wiki

While at it I also installed a new extension to handle the Google Analytics tracker code and the site is now using a custom skin. This is currently just an empty skin extending monobook, but now the wiki is prepared for a re-skinning once the main site has been updated with the new design.

Should there be any issues please let me know.

  1. Hi
    I just installed a zenmagick to my local server , the version reads 0.9.8 .
    I first installed it to a running copy of my site on localserver. When i click on categories , it returned with page not found error.
    Then i intalled a fresh copy of zencart on my localserver and put zenmagick into it . Still the same problem, returning with a page not found error. If i click on the demo products directly on home page, not through categories, i am able to access the product. (I installed the demo store.)
    Can you help me with this as i relly want to use this useful product.

  2. Have you disabled the ‘Missing page check’ in zen cart admin? The category pages use a custom url main_page=category that zen cart doesn’t know. This is documented in the installation docs, I think.
    Admin: Configuration -> My Store -> Missing Page Check -> Off
