Concerns

  • Media Wiki 1.6.6
  • Mysql 4.0.15
  • SuSE 9.0 on vserver

Patches

There are some major problems concerning the installation of media wiki on SuSE 9.0 on a vserver:

  1. Mysql is only version 4.0.15
  2. PHP is per default limited in memory

You will get an error during installation.

Because of a bug in php you shoul do 2 things:

First edit /etc/php.ini an change the memory limit from 8 to 50MB:

memory_limit = 50M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Second due to a bug in older mysql versions you have to change two installation files of the media wiki.

At the end of the file

maintenance/mysql5/tables.sql

Change

KEY (job_cmd, job_namespace, job_title)
) TYPE=InnoDB, DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

to

KEY (job_cmd(255), job_namespace, job_title(255))
) TYPE=InnoDB, DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

(!) The same (!) you have to do in file

maintenance/archives/patch-job.sql
