Offline wikipedia installation with mwimport question

Dear all,

I am trying to set up a multilanguage Wikipedia for offline use from xml dumps using
mediawiki. To do this, I have downloaded dumps from wikimedia foundation and  tried to set up
a Mysql server following the instructions given here:

http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/~dev2c/wiki/How_to_mirror_Wikipedia

I managed to go all the way through these instructions, and the mwimport line 

<dawiki-<date>.xml mwimport | mysql -f -u <admin name> -p <database name> ,

(where <database name> was wikidb).

finished without errors. But I can't find my (Danish) wikipedia now !
From a similar instructions page as the one above, I would  expect to find it in http://localhost/wikidb/ ,
but there seems is nothing there (404 error), although I can find that a database wikidb has been created from
myphpadmin, with 185000 entries in it.

Thank you very much for your help !

Best regards,

Axel

Re: How to retrieve wiki text from wikipedia html page?

>> I want to know how can i get wikitext from simple wikipedia html page.
One answer: example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerd
is the same as
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nerd
and one way to get its wikitext is via

Order of tag extensions

Given the following text

<out2>blah <in2>blah</in2></out2>
<out1>blah <in1>blah</in1></out1>

where out1, in1, in2, out2 are tags defined as usual in
that order. In which order are these tags "expanded"?

out1 in1 in2 out2 (ie, as defined)?
out2 in2 out1 in1 (ie, as found)?
in2 out2 in1 out1?
Someting else?

Thanks
Javier

Re: Newbie question - Move from Ubuntu to Windows

Just install MediaWiki from the official source.
The .deb package adds no extra benefit, and only makes it harder to 
understand where things are and what is wrong because the .deb package 
does not use the standard locations for things in MediaWiki.

Without knowing what are you actually doing, there's little we can do. 
What steps are taken by the "deployment"?

"Sortable" (Table Sorting) Not working

I probably did something to screw up my wikis, but all of them couldn't use
the standard javascript table sorting function in MediaWiki
(class="sortable).  Thought I'd document a little to save future admins some
work.  If this is a common problem, someone create a bug and I'll look into
fixing it.

The symptom was that class="sortable" was being ignored (tables wouldn't
sort).

The way you make tables sortable is to add the table to a javascript class
"sortable".  This is done by (example)

{| class="sortable"
! ColHdr1
! ColHdr2
|-
| r1c1
| r1c2
|-
| r2c1
| r2c2
|}

Table sorting in MediaWiki is done via javascript found in
skins/common/wikibits.js in it's own section.

I didn't stop to figure out why it wasn't sorting, I just replaced it with
the original source code, which can be found in
http://www.joostdevalk.nl/code/sortable-table/

TeX with dvipng and Linux


Here is an alternative for the default math using dvipng:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows

I've tried it out in my Windows box and it worked.
Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get it to work on
Linux (both TeX and dvipng work in the server when
called in the terminal). Any hint or pointer would be
appreciated.

(fyi, what I intend is to use TeX as a typographical
tool and not only for math formulae, and the dvipng
approach seems more convenient for our purposes.)
