Issues with the Wiki

This page is a provisorium. It's a list of things that are going wrong after the update to help Akw track and fix them.

Troubles encountered

Can not upload SVG

I get the upload warning:
".svg" is not a recommended image file format.

Is there a way to contact a registered user, for example to confirm information. I have found that AdamZ claims that the X20 is bootable via USB. My information indicates the contrary. Isn't there a way to contact a registered user through MediaWiki? --Rolf 00:30, 9 September 2006 (CEST)

php error encountered when attempting to update Bios Upgrade page:

You can't (easliy do a multiline cmdresult, can you? See:

foo bar baz

or

foo

 bar (after whitespace)
 baz (after whitespace)

This works (but is not so nice)

foo

bar (after empty line)

baz (after empty line)

Any suggestions?

I think the best way is to use single cmdresult calls for each line and prefix them with a colon. Like so:

:{{cmdresult|foo}}
:{{cmdresult|bar}}
:{{cmdresult|baz}}

, which results in

foo

bar

baz

Alternatively, you can use <br /> at the ende of each line within one call, like this: {{cmdresult|foo<br /> bar<br /> baz}} , which will result in

foo
bar
baz

I have just got a MySQL problem when I edited a page, a query was not to its liking. It is quite easy to reproduce, just edit any page ;-)

History did get updated, and the page was also updated, so I have no idea what broke when that query failed.

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "SearchMySQL4::update". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry ' ' for key 3 (localhost)".

More database problems, this time the search function:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "". MySQL returned error "145: Table './thinkwiki/searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)".

The server time would appear to be off a lot, is it possible to setup ntpd, or to run ntpdate every hour or so using cron? --Tonko 05:11, 22 February 2006 (CET)

Search still seems broken, searching for DVI brings up nothing. --Jumpfroggy 00:03, 17 March 2006 (CET)
