Content Management Systems

 By adding the following line to your LocalSettings.php file, you will be able to log everything that WikiMedia does:

$wgDebugLogFile = '/home/username/public_html/wikidir/logfile';

IMPORTANT NOTE: The path above should be the exact full path to the wiki directory under your account.


This took me a whole afternoon and involved a lot of hope as I browsed the Internet and no one seemed to have done this before.  Fortunately, MediaWiki extensions are easier to write than Joomla CMS ones :c)

This article shows you how to get your MediaWiki system to display your Camtasia Studio SWF files in it's articles.

Why Camtasia when there are other free options?

We tried lots of FLV players that were usually branded or not free.  These were awkward to configure a full screen button on the controls and do basic customization.  Our screen recorder was also not displaying the captions of the video unless it was an AVI file that we converted to FLV.  The quality was horrible.  Then we moved to Camtasia Studio where their videos were displaying in good quality but as SWF files.  This extension includes the default settings for "ExpressShow" in Camtasia Studio.

Old Server

mysqldump -u root -p wikidb > wikidb.sql
tar -cvf wiki.tar wiki   ;this is the wiki folder on document root


New Server:

create database wikidb;  this is inside mysql, Note that both mysql versions should be same.
grant create, select, insert, update, delete, lock tables on wikidb.* to wiki@localhost identified by 'YourPassword' ;


MediaWiki Upgrade

copy all the new files to wiki folder and then run php update.php from maintenance folder after updating AdminSettings.php
