(OUTDATED) Error 1062: Duplicate entry '305' for key 1 (localhost)
- MediaWiki version:
- PHP version:
- MySQL version:
- URL:
Hi,
Please note that while I am trying to save some content in a wiki page I am getting this error:
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 "RecentChange::save". MySQL returned error "1062: Duplicate entry '305' for key 1 (localhost)".
The error appears when I try to save the page for the first time. If I press the Back button of browser and retry it works.
Can you pls shed some lights on whats the error may be?

I'm interested in Mediawiki support of Oracle as a DBMS. I've read this support is discontinued some time ago but at the same time I didnot find any comments why this happened, what is the way to get the latest source, what were the bugs and so on. If anyone can help finding a documentation and the way i may use Oracle with Mediawiki, please write to velislav.bg at gmail dot com
(RESOLVED) 1048: Column 'old_id' cannot be null
- Product Version
- MediaWiki 1.13.2
- PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 (apache2handler)
- MySQL 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.3
I have upgraded from one machine running 1.13.0 to a different machine with the latest 1.13.2.
'Old' machine:
- Product Version
- MediaWiki 1.13.0
- PHP 5.1.2 (apache2handler)
- MySQL 5.0.18
I have maintained the old LocalSettings.php and updated the MySQL database from a mysqldump. At a glance things appear to be in order (page histories, images, user accounts, page contents etc.). However, when I try to perform a 'Save page' I get:
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 "Revision::insertOn". MySQL returned error "1048: Column 'old_id' cannot be null (localhost)".
Any advice?

- Did you run update.php? I wouldn't expect a schema change between 1.13.0 and 1.13.2, but it's usually a good idea to run the update script even after minor upgrades (especially if something stops working!). —Emufarmers(T|C) 19:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yep, I did run it, with no apparent problems (it did seem a bit *fast*, but then again my new machine is much more powerful). Is there anything in the database that is host specific? Has there been any minor change in LocalSettings.php between 1.13.0 and 1.13.2? Like I said, superficially everthing appears to be in place. It is only on 'Save page' that things go egg-shaped. Could it be a matter of incorrect passwords or usernames that have permission to query the db, but not write to it? Any suggestions are obviously most welcome!

Solved: For some reason my daily backup script invoking mysqldump had the flag --skip-opt. Removing this flag and loading this new dump (efectivley with the flag --opt) resolved the situation (dont ask me why I used --skip-opt...). All the best --147.96.5.37 13:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Page links with national characters disappeared after database migration
- MediaWiki: 1.10alpha

Hello,
I need help with the following problem.
I am moving a MediaWiki based webpage from one server to another. After exporting the database and importing it to the new server I got the message "1271: Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN ' (mysql.extremefaith.info)". So I updated MediaWiki to the newest stable version (1.13.3) which caused the change of the $wgDBmysql5 variable value to "true" and that solved the problem.
Yet another one appeared. Although the content of the present pages remained unchanged (all the national characters were present) all the links with national characters became "red" (f.ex. "Śnieżnobiałe światło") and I can't access the content of those pages. What's more when I add the content manually some pages still remain "red". When I click on this kind of edited-"red" page I can see the content but it's being opened in "edit" tab by default. All the tables have "latin2_general_ci" collation set.
Could you please help me to fix the "red" links with national characters?
(You can see the red links f.ex. here: http://mat.extremefaith.info/kpk/mediawiki-1.13.3/index.php?title=Teksty_pie%C5%9Bni)
Content is no longer visible, and I cannot log in to my account
- MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
- PHP version: 5.2.8
- MySQL version: 5.0.67
All my pages are showing me the "There is currently no text in this page..." message, and I cannnot log in to my account. I can view the 'recent changes' page. I can't see the history of any pages, yet I can see the diffs. My web host recently upgraded from MySQL 4 to 5, so perhaps it's something to do with that.
Does anyone know of something I can do to restore my wiki? Being able to view the diffs, I think the content is still in there somewhere.

After much investigation is appears that the column user_id in mySQL got deleted. Now all my users can see the wiki and even anonymously edit any page they would like. But they cannot login with their user ID's and cannot register. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I'm not a super mySQL user so as explicit detail as possible will be greatly appreciated.

Database query error after minor mysql upgrade

- PHP version: PHP: 5.2.0-8+etch13 (apache2handler)
- MySQL version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch8-log
- URL: intranet
Hello, I have few MW installations on an intranet, after upgrading mysql from 5.0.32-7etch6 to 5.0.32-7etch8 I got all my MW failing with the same following error.
Original exception: exception 'DBQueryError' with message 'A database error has occurred Query: SELECT value,exptime FROM `objectcache` WHERE keyname='mw_ultra:messages-hash' Function: MediaWikiBagOStuff::_doquery Error: 1033 Incorrect information in file: './mw_ultra/objectcache.frm' (localhost) ' in /home/albafotonica.com/ultra/includes/Database.php:806 ...
I have no idea what happened, and could not repair the error. Fortunately I have dumped all my databases before the upgrade, dropping the MW databases and putting everything where it was solved the problem. But i still wonder what happened, I googled for the error with no luck (except same symptoms when upgrading from some mysql4 versions as the FRM format changed somehow, but its not the case). Perhaps someone can throw some light over this, I believe it can happen to many people using Debian stable, and not everyone remembers to backup before upgrading.
—IvanStepaniuk 10:30, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- It seems that this error is related to changes in the InnoDB (binary log sizes mismatch during upgrade?). Restoring the backup was probably the fast/safe solution but not the only one. This is not MW related, I will try to track down the problem somewhere else anyway. --IvanStepaniuk 11:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks in advance

require_once("$IP/extensions/UserRightsList/UserRightsList.php");—Emufarmers(T|C) 20:50, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, but now appears "line 115". What and where are the line 115 and line 19? —Mark 54 23:10, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Mark
- What's the new error? —Emufarmers(T|C) 04:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately i don't know. I had modified only LocalSettings.php: before there was "line 19", now there is "line 115". —Mark 54 15:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Mark
- His new error says (from his url)
- "...failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/wikimh/public_html/LocalSettings.php on line 115"
- So it's basically the same error, on another line (115) referencing the same file. Doesn't really make sense, as that file is already "required" by line 19. You can probably comment that line adding # at the begin of the line 115. Perhaps you should try to recover a working copy of your LocalSettings file, or generate a new one if you are not familiar with PHP. --IvanStepaniuk 16:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. How do i recover a working copy of LocalSettings.php or how do i generate a new one? Unfortunately i am not fimiliar with PHP and very inexperienced. —Mark 54 21:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Mark
- Thanks, Ivan. I hate when my brain stops working. :)

require_onceline twice. —Emufarmers(T|C) 00:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

- Mark, it is very difficult to tell if there is an error in what you have posted, try to post your file again (perhaps in your user page instead, not here), and do not modify anything but passwrords and sensitive info. Anyway, now I see your problem is the database connection, so either your user or password is incorrect, or the database is just not there. I think the best you can do if you are just starting, is to start over, carefully following the indications on the Manual:Installation guide, good luck! --IvanStepaniuk 23:43, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I have posted my LocalSettings.php file in my user page. I have assured myself that the password and the user are correct. In my wiki's database there are many files, so starting over is a big problem for me :( How can i generate a new Localsettings.php file? Or how do i recover the files which are in my database? Thanks for your help.
PS I have tried to modify my LocalSettings.php and now there is this message: "Error, Setup.php must be included from the file scope, after DefaultSettings.php ". —Mark 54 20:44, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Mark

- Make sure that you're connecting to the right database, and that you're using the right database prefix. If you are, then you're missing some tables, and will need to restore from a backup. —Emufarmers(T|C) 21:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
While none of that information has changed... I have noticed errors when viewing the tables with phpMyAdmin... All except the search index seem to be broken. This exact same thing has happened to annother media wiki of mine on annother server, with a completly different set up. Unfortunatly my backup was lost when I had a personal harddrive failure (didnt backup the backup.) Why might this have happened ONLY to 2 media wiki databases, when all the other databases on the mysql servers stay fine? Are there any tools out there that I could run that can try and recover corrupt InnoDB tables? --Chavoc 00:33, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- I would guess that the other databases on the servers aren't using InnoDB. You could try repairing the tables in phpMyAdmin; you could also dump, drop, and recreate the tables[1]; and, of course, you could just ask your host for a backup (whether or not they'll have one to give you depends on the host). —Emufarmers(T|C) 12:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Also got the problem when editing sections on the same server (000webhost.com). I found out the problem probably arises due to the maximum of two DB connections enforced by the server, while editing sections opens at least three simultaneous connections. Haven't checked deletes though.
Possible solution: more close statements? Don't know where they can be safely added though...

[SOLVED] Articles content location for new developments
- MediaWiki version: 1.10.0
- PHP version: 5
- MySQL version: 5.0.27
- URL: localhost
I'm looking for the articles content, where they're phisically stored. I would like to reach them with some php code, to develop my own pages, for my company.
I've been trying for days to find them in the database (with the blob fields) or in some obscure text file within the mediawiki folder, but nothing to do.
Can anyone help ? Thanks a lot !
Edit : OK, found it. PHPMyAdmin just can't display the BLOB fields properly. I used the MySQL Query Browser Tool

- This has been fixed in subversion. You can fix your system in one of two ways:
- Run this SQL directly inside your database:
ALTER TABLE ipblocks ALTER ipb_deleted TYPE smallint USING ipb_deleted::smallint DEFAULT 0 - Edit your updaters.inc file: find the spot that says
"ipb_deleted::smallint", change it to"ipb_deleted::smallint DEFAULT 0", and then rerun the updater (by running php update.php or running the installer via the web page)

Hello, I've been running this wiki for quite a while without issues of this kind. Recently, the server that the database is on crashed. After this we have had some strange errors from Mediawiki related to the database. I tried running CHECK TABLE on each of the mediawiki tables and they all reported ok, so I'm not sure where the error lies. Here is the specific error I'm getting when trying to create an article:
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 "Article::insertOn". MySQL returned error "1114: The table 'page' is full (db-hostname-omitted)".
Thanks for your help. -- Deltaray 15:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

From what I can gather it is because no database connection is available. However, my wiki appears to be fully functional. I can edit pages etc. I can even connect to the Postgres db using PgAdmin. I can only assume there is some additional settings I need to change when using a postgres database? Or is such an export not supported for Postgres? Please help.

Media Wiki is blank after upgrading MySQL version
- MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
- PHP version: 5.2.9
- MySQL version: 5.0.67-community
- URL: http://podcast.eternaltruthministry.com
We have been running fine on MySQL 4 for a while now, but today when I went to my site it was completely blank. It has no record of any page and says my user id does not exist.
My first thought was that I got hacked, so I checked and my database size is the same as my backups, and all data looks like it is there in the current db.
I checked the db connection settings in the LocalSettings.php file and everything looks good there. What's weird is that there are no mysql connection errors, or errors of any kind displaying.
So why I mentioned MySQL 4, this week my host upgraded all of their servers to mysql 5. It is the only change to the system that I can find, but I don't know why this doesn't work anymore.
I'm having the same problem on 3/4 of my MediaWiki sites (http://www.ipTVwiki.com & http://www.zssites.net/wiki).
Do you have any ideas what I can check or what might be causing this problem?
Thank you.

I have run the mediawiki setup on that system and also got the LocalSettings.php file also. Now when I try to open the mediawiki site I get only a blank page.
I did some debugging and found out where the problem is coming. The problem is in WebStart.php file in the line of code where we load the LocalSettings.php file. "require_once("$IP/LocalSettings.php");" Till this line every debug statements are printed but anything after this line is not getting printed. Can you please let me know what could be the problem and is there any solution or workaround?

Articles are not shown in the right Namespace
- MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
- PHP version: 5.2.8
- MySQL version: 5.1.30
- URL: intranet
Some weeks ago, I defined some customized namespaces and everything worked fine. But now I have a problem: Let's say one namespace I recently defined is called "NewNamespace". Now I want to create a new article within this namespace, let's say "NewNamespace:HelloWorld". Then what happens is, that the new article is stored in the (Main) namespace with title "NewNamespace:HelloWorld", but not in the "NewNamespace". The strange thing about it is, that the articles which are already in the "NewNamespace" still work fine, so I don't think that it's a problem with the namespace definition. Can you help me? Do you have an explanation for this?
PS: I checked about a hundred times that I don't have any typing errors within the article's name, so this easiest explanation drops out as well PSS: A friend of mine just told me that he has the same problem (he uses MW 1.14)

EDIT ;
Problem is resolved !
The install was stopped here :
if ( $conf->Root ) {
$conn = $dbc->newFromParams( $wgDBserver, $wgDBuser, $wgDBpassword, $wgDBname, 1 );
if ( $conn->isOpen() ) {
print "DB user account ok\n";
$conn->close();
} else {
print "Granting user permissions...";
if( $mysqlOldClient && $mysqlNewAuth ) {
}
print "\n";
dbsource( "../maintenance/users.sql", $wgDatabase );
}
}
I used a new user that would be created bu my root user.
I change my options of the install by using the root user, now it works good.
backups just stopped working
hello. As of 10/6, the backups seemed to be working just fine. Then, all of a sudden backups seemed to just stop working. The site works fine and so does the web GUI, but the backups just will not run whether run manually or during the scheduled backup timeframe. This is what I get in the Appliance Log now.

merging two different wikimedia databases
- MediaWiki version: 1.14
- PHP version: 5.1.6
- MySQL version: 5.0.45
- URL:
We have two different wikimedia systems on two different servers (both have the same versions for MediaWiki, PHP and MySQL) and now we want to merge them into a single wiki system on one of the server. The problem is, I can't just restore a dump file since both databases have the same ids for different pages and images, and with 870 uploaded images, the idea of manually editing the dump file doesn't seem so charming. Is there a way to merge both databases and somehow automatically change the ids? Or is the best way simply copying the pages from one wiki to the other and re-uploading the images?
Update: I tried adding some INSERT lines from one dump to the other (the key columns are different, so there's no problem here) and restoring that dump. It seems to work fine, but with a small problem: any Hebrew link is in gibberish, instead, and links to a page with that Gibberish name, so I don't think it's just an encoding problem.
How does the image system work?
- MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
- PHP version: 5.2.6
- MySQL version: 5.0.51a
- URL: no can do
I have what should be a fairly simple question... I consider myself very well-rounded in mediawiki administration, but there is ONE thing that I cannot figure out how it works. Could anyone please explain where in the database images and files are linked to their physical file? Or direct me to the appropriate info. I have searched everywhere to figure out how this works but to no avail. I would like to know because porting a large amount of files or images would be made much easier if it could be batched in SQL.
SQLite installed, but configure/index.php says no
- MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
- PHP version: $ php -v reports PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Feb 26 2009 07:01:12)
- MySQL version: ]$ sqlite3 -version reports 3.3.6
config/index.php reports "PHP 5.1.6 installed Could not find a suitable database driver!", yet SQLite is installed and supported by PHP:
$ php -i | grep -i ^configure | tr ' ' \\n | grep sqlite '--without-sqlite' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared,/usr'
Is that sufficient? How can I test the database support independently, and/or diagnose why MediaWiki thinks it's not there? (I've never used PHP, famous as it is. I found several examples of PHP code to prove SQLite works, but none to display an error message when it doesn't.)
FWIW, I also put this in LocalSettings.php:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
$wgDebugLogFile = '/tmp/mediawiki.debug_log.txt';
Many thanks.

Database Syntax error - tables not available ---- DONE
- MediaWiki version: previously 1.11, upgraded now to 1.15.1

I recently upgraded to MediaWiki 1.15.1. I face the following issue when I click on the 'history' tab or some other links on the page:
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 "ChangeTags::listDefinedTags". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'erwikidb.valid_tag' doesn't exist (localhost)".
and on other pages I get
- from within function "IndexPager::reallyDoQuery (LogPager)". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'erwikidb.tag_summary' '' doesn't exist (localhost)".
and so forth..
When I checked the database I found that the tables valid_tag and tag_summary weren't created at all. I have run the installer again on my server for a fresh installation of 1.15.1 and have run the update.php script several times, but the same error keeps popping up.

search finds some but not all pages
- MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
- PHP version: 5.2.6
- MySQL version: 5.0.67-community-nt
- URL: intranet only
My company has a MW installation that is working well for the most part. The only problem is that when searching, some words are not found in some articles that contain the word.
For example, searching for "xRon" or "boxing" or "Montreal" finds a list of articles that contain the word, but there is at least one article that contains all 3 of these words and that article is not in the search results. However, searching for "coupons" or "incentives" or "staples" does include this article in the search results.
I have tried the following:
- bypass MySQL's default stopword list and restarted MySQL.
- run rebuildall.php.
- run refreshLinks.php.
- run rebuildtextindex.php.
- use MySQL Administrator to repair the tables (only ldw_searchindex supported this action).
What else can I do to get these articles found?
—198.161.248.1 20:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- I found the solution. The article contained a less than sign (<), and later contained a greater than sign (>). MediaWiki thought this was a big HTML tag. The words between these 2 characters did not get indexed.
- Temporary fix: Use a <nowiki> tag around the special characters.
- Permanent fix: Upgrade MediaWiki to v1.15.1.
Can't access original database tables
MediaWiki 1.15.1
PHP 5.2.11 (apache)
MySQL 4.1.22
I upgraded to 1.15.0 and more recently to 1.15.1.
I had to use the re-installation route as I don't have root access to the host.
My problem is that I can't see the original pages that had been written. When I use phpMyAdmin to look at the database the tables seem to have been renamed. E.g. there is a table called page, containing the new page, and another called mw_page that contains the original.
I guess that I made a mistake setting up the re-install and didn't put the prefix in. I have tried repeating the reinstall and putting the prefix in but still can't see the old pages.
Is there a way of changing the tables that the wiki uses?
Alternatively, can I rename the tables in the database or just duplicate the data?
thanks
Dan
—78.86.176.72 10:49, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Dear MediaWiki Support,
is it possible to change the page_title in the page table or could this result in errors or other sideeffects. The reason why Im asking is, that I saw the page title also in other tables. But when I change the title in most cases its not sure that it would be changed in the other table. Hope you understand what I mean.

I make an update via web. After update i have encoding-errors in some (not all!) sections: e.g. Special:ListFiles (Comments), RecentChanges etc. The Main-Content (?title=Mainpage) is ok. No Problems mit Umlauts, Special-Chars. On some pages i get a Collation-Error. (search in ListFiles a Filename with Umlaut) Look @ Database: many Table/Rows has collation latin1 (why?!). I change it manually to utf8-bin/general => collation-errors are fixed. I make a Dump from "images" with mysqldumper (webbased tool), i say his encoding is "latin1". I opened the .sql with notepad++ (windows) and change format from ansi to utf8/boms. Import with mysqldumper. Now: no Encoding-Errors in Special:ListFiles. Fine! Same withe the revision-Table. No Errors in History. Fine! Have I do this with EVERY Table?! :( (49 after update, fresh install 41 ... normal?)
But whats the problem with update-procedure? Only some Tables are converting. Only some rows are utf8 :( How i can update correctly to 1.15.1 utf8 ?. Before update -> dump (latin1) -> convert to utf8 -> import sql -> update? 1-2 Years ago this doesn't work :( Pagenames with Umlauts are broken und many encoding-Errors! :((

MySQL returned error "1142: INDEX command denied to user '$WIKIadm'@'localhost' for table 'pagelinks' (localhost)"
the problem being that on each of them, when i go into mysql and issue a show grants, all of those users have INDEX:

Accidentally deleted database
Hi, After just installing MediaWiki and setting everything up I accidentally deleted the database (good news, I didn't lose anything). Now, though, nothing works. Is there a way to easily create a new database with everything needed for my site to run?

i think if you remove or rename ./LocalSettings.php and then just go to your wiki you can rerun the config. that will recreate all the tables for you.

- This is a bug in installer that has already been fixed in 1.16 branch. You need to move your databse file
/var/www/secure/1/config/data/wikidb.sqliteto some directory not readable by web server and modify $wgSQLiteDataDir in LocalSettings.php to make it point to that directory. By the way, MediaWiki 1.16 that will be released soon will contain massive SQLite-related improvements, so upgrade is a must.

Convert From MyISAM to InnoDB
- MediaWiki version: 1.16beta3
- PHP version: 5.2.11
- MySQL version: 5.1.47-log

I moved my wiki to another hosting company. The old one doesn't support InnoDB so I have to use MyISAM. The new one does. So I want to convert my database to InnoDB, but how?
Database Error 1205 when accessing a particular Article in my Wiki
- MediaWiki version: 1.16.0
- PHP version: 5.2.6 (cgi-fcgi)
- MySQL version: 5.1.26-rc-5.1.26rc

Hey there. I installed a copy of mediawiki on my server a couple of days ago and began having fun with my wiki. However, a couple of hours later, something happened with one article I was writing and it seemingly got corrupted. To be precise, I began writing an article, used the preview function several times, had to answer the door and left the computer on for 20+ minutes, then came back, edited some more and clicked 'save changes'. The article did not save and everything slowed down to a crawl. I got so tired of this that I deleted my whole installation and database and tried it all over again. I didn't stumble upon the same error until now, 2 days later. The same thing happened, I was editing an article, I had to go out, came back, changed the text and pressed save again. From the looks of it 'merely my guess', something odd happens with the article updating and the session timeout which 'corrupts' the article. If I wait 5-10 minutes, I can log out and then view ALL other articles, but not the one in question.
After clicking 'save changes', I had a blank page and was then taken to this URL: http://konton.us/w/index.php?title=Gameplay_Mechanics&action=submit
And the error message there was: 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 "Article::updateRevisionOn". Database returned error "1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (internal-db.s76387.gridserver.com)".
So my guess is that...the article became somehow corrupted? How do I uncorrupt it? I googled like crazy and searched everywhere and...I don't seem to be able to find someone with this particular problem =/
All help is appreciated. G.Campos
Database error when registered user or Admin try to modify Main page contents
- MediaWiki version: 1.13.3
- PHP version: 5
- MySQL version:
- URL: http://www.4copter.com/mediawiki
Hello, I have a quite strange problem.
When a logged registered user or logged Admin try to modify the Main page contents he receive an error message: Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Can't contact the database server: Unknown error (sql.4copter.com))
Any non logged user can modify the main page ! Registered users and Admin when logged can access to their pages.
It is a bug !
If I click on the edit link on the left side of the Main page , the hyperlink is something like http://www.mysite.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=main_page&action=edit§ion=1
But if I click on the "modify" tab on the top menu of the same page hyperlink is something like http://www.mysite.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=main_page&action=edit
Without the final part of link "§ion=1" the page can be modified also by registred user and Admin.

shared user table
- MediaWiki version: 1.16.0
- PHP version: 5.2.6-1+lenny9
- MySQL version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny4
- URL: http://simpsonspedia.net
In Sept. my site has 5th anniversary and I want to add two new wikis in English and French. I installed both. Shared images works. Now I want to share user table. My site has no prefix, the new English Wiki has _en_ and the French wiki has _fr_. All three user tables are in the same DB simpsonspedia.
I added in LocalSettings.php for both new wikis $wgSharedDB = "simpsonspedia"; $wgSharedPrefix = ""; # Defaults to $wgDBprefix $wgSharedTables = array( 'user', 'user_properties' ); $wgCookieDomain = "simpsonspedia.net";
But this entries doesn't work. both wikis use their own user table with prefixes _en_ or _fr_
What is my mistake?
