- SuSE 9.0 on vserver
Patches
There are some major problems concerning the installation of media wiki on SuSE 9.0 on a vserver:
- Mysql is only version 4.0.15
- 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
