i have a problem with the installation of mediawiki 1.4.2 to the internet. i can install it on my computer quite well and can use it, but when i want to try it in the internet i face with three problems : (1.) After "You'll have to set the wiki up first!" page, i see warnings and a fatal error: Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia1/config/index.php on line 117 Warning: main(includes/Defines.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia1/config/index.php on line 121 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/Defines.php' (include_path='.:') in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia1/config/index.php on line 121 i could have been able to pass the problem by hacking the codes in config/index.php -- i have changed the relative addresses of include or require pages with putting ../ before the pages. Then the second problem comes : (2.) in the installation process, the last requirement(!) wanted to be fulfill, but i dont have a root access due to hosting company does not give them. From here, the mediazilla, i have seen a clue to hack the config/index.php file by changing the DBuser and DBpasswords with my accounts in database. Therefore the installation process was finished. At the end of the installation process i have seen the note to copy the config/LocalSettings.php file to the main root of the wiki. i did. and change the permissions of the config folder to 0 pr 400, i think i is not problem. Then faced with the 3rd problem : (3.) when i open my site, i see the below warnings : Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php on line 8 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php:8) in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/includes/OutputPage.ph p on line 383 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php:8) in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/includes/OutputPage.ph p on line 316 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php:8) in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/includes/OutputPage.ph p on line 344 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php:8) in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/includes/OutputPage.ph p on line 345 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php:8) in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/includes/OutputPage.ph p on line 347 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/LocalSettings.php:8) in /usr/hosts/domains/tawish/www.tawish.org/httpdocs/tatarpedia/includes/OutputPage.ph p on line 396 And can not overcome the problem for several days. Is there anybody to help me, and solve the problem.. What can i do, i am not a programmer, but only a person who wants to upload mediawiki to the internet and share documents, articles with other people like wikipedia. Thanks a lot for your help..
Is there a way to change the include path without calling ini_set?
There is a set_include_path() and get_include_path() as of 4.3.0. We could perhaps try using it if available.
i have put # before ini_set( "include_path", ... in LocalSettings.php and it worked, but from the beginning to now. i have always omitted some needed (i think) rows so my site is may have problems in the future.. does not seem so for now.. thanks a lot..
Disabled ini_set() If the php-function ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons you have to change some paths. The row-numbers are for version 1.5.1. In the file config/index.php: * 122: require_once( "includes/Defines.php" ); => require_once( "../includes/Defines.php" ); * 123: require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" ); => require_once( "../includes/DefaultSettings.php" ); * 124: require_once( "includes/MagicWord.php" ); => require_once( "../includes/MagicWord.php" ); * 125: require_once( "includes/Namespace.php" ); => require_once( "../includes/Namespace.php" ); * 166: require_once( "install-utils.inc" ); => require_once( "../install-utils.inc" ); * 167: require_once( "maintenance/updaters.inc" ); => require_once( "../maintenance/updaters.inc" ); * 465: require_once( "maintenance/InitialiseMessages.inc" ); => require_once( "../maintenance/InitialiseMessages.inc" ); * 1284: require_once( "languages/Names.php" ); => require_once( "../languages/Names.php" ); In the file includes/DefaultSettings.php: * 27: require_once( 'includes/SiteConfiguration.php' ); => require_once( '../includes/SiteConfiguration.php' ); Then you can run the script index.php again. Don't take notice of the fatal error in includes/DefaultSettings.php. Just reload the page. After moving config/LocalSettings.php to the folder above you have to comment out the ini_set() in LocalSettings.php: * 8: ini_set( "include_path", ".:$IP:$IP/includes:$IP/languages" ); => #ini_set( "include_path", ".:$IP:$IP/includes:$IP/languages" ); * 12: ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' ); => #ini_set( 'memory_limit', '20M' );
Closing due to lack of feedback for a while, and the fact that a viable workaround exists.
Are there chances that MediaWiki will take care of environments where ini_set is disabled? There is at least a warning during install (I didn't manage to install MediaWiki yet but this is most likely a differnt issue): Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /srv/www/httpd/ phost/j/de/pytalhost/jansspielwiese/web/scripts/wikit/config/index.php on line 33
Now that we're looking to support HipHop, and HH doesn't support ini_set() for a majority of the parameters, it's a good time to take a look at all of our ini_get|sets in core and clean them up. A general wfIniGet( $param, $defaultVal ) would be useful as a wrapper.
Installation -> General. We need to cleanup ini_set/get() everywhere.
MediaWiki 1.20.2 here with ini_set() disabled as well.
