BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=990830&group_id=34373&atid=411192 Originally submitted by Matt Edel (matted) 2004-07-14 14:33 ver 1.3. monobook on winxP/apache php 4.3.4 In all browsers, the tabs render ok, but nothing else does. The layout is completely broken. Earlier versions worked fine. Symptoms: >> Main Page starting flush left in the quickbar region. (see attached screen shot >>Font reads as Times on WinXP platform, and Arial/sans-serif on my live linux host. >> when I orginally tried the install script, it failed. Each click on "Setup your Wiki" link simply added the /config dir to the address path. I then accessed config/index.php directly and it was fine. Could something have been fubared by this? Not likely. The ONLY Apache error is : [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/htdocs/favicon.ico Favicon.ico is in the images directory. Why is it being sought in my server root? Is this a clue? Install was vanilla. Globals are registered in php.ini Localsettings.php all looks normal Help! Unusable this way. I see no similar reports anywhere, and yet my setup is pretty generic so I'm assuming there's a bug somewhere. . ------------------------- Additional comments ------------------------ Date: 2004-07-14 14:48 Sender: SF user matted The faveicon is a typical windows funny, I am told. So forget that part :) ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-07-21 00:33 Sender: SF user imsop Sounds to me like at least part of your problem is your *apache* config - the clue being that it didn't find the /index.php by itself. That's a fairly cosmetic setting (you have to add "index.php" on the end of the "DirectoryIndex" line) but there may be others tripping you up more seriously. Have you got anything else [fairly complex] working successfully on this server? It's not immediately obvious what could be wrong, but things like Apache reporting the wrong "Content-type:" for CSS files might be able to have catastrophic effects like this. It's a pretty odd and major bug otherwise, isn't it!? ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-07-21 05:13 Sender: SF user matted Thank for responding. I was losing hope. We are doing all our development on our live server, and that's awkward. I'd like to have my winXP machine running mediawiki. My Apache confiq is this thisaway... so I presume that isn't the problem. DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php This is so bizarre. At first I thought that the style sheets weren't being referenced.. but they are. But most of the rules are being clobbered... but only in monobook (the only style we are using). Standard and CologneBlue run just fine. Any other ideas? I am just completely befuddled. I love this product, and we are coding up a storm with it, but I need to get it to run on my local machine. Can you please tell me where most of the active developers can be found for forward looking issues? Are the email lists the only option, or are their active forums somewhere? ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-07-21 13:39 Sender: SF user imsop That is indeed thoroughly bizarre. Have you tried things like reading the Apache *access* log after making a request, to see if the browser asked for all the things you would expect it to need and making some fake GET requests (using libwww-perl or something) to see if there's anything funny about the responses? Not that I can think what you'd be looking for, but... Also, there's not some way that something firewall-ish could be limiting the flow of data/number of connections from the webserver is there? As for how to get in touch, there is indeed a live channel: #mediawiki on irc.freenode.net; there's also the mailing lists, which it sounds like you found already, the most relevant to you being http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l Good luck! ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-07-21 14:24 Sender: SF user matted Yes.. the log is clean. Virtually no errors reported, even after clean restarts. I am totally mystified. Maybe I can ask the list. Is MediaWikia-L only a list? Does it share messages with the wikipedia.technical news group? (or is it its own group? If so, I can't find it on the gmane server. Does it have another name there? Thanks again for your help. If you havr ANY new thoughts, please let me know. I am running out of hope--but for you! ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-02 08:42 Sender: SF user vibber Sounds like you're missing the stylesheets directory or have hidden it with broken rewrite rules or have not updated it or something. Can you confirm that it is correctly installed and that files there are accessible and that the HTML output references the correct URLs? ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-08 07:53 Sender: SF user vibber Can the original reporter please check with a fresh install of beta6 and confirm that the problem is either still present or not?
Closed. Outdated. Can't be solved without feedback from original poster.
