==Portability== I have long been using mediawiki with a LAMP stack as a personal and home wiki. One of the main inconveniences is that it's not easy to move the wiki around to another machine. It involves dumping the database, copying various files etc. Is Mediawikilite more portable? [[User:Parker|Parker]] 11:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC) == Debian package == I wonder how far we are from having a mediawikilite debian package that installs dependencies (e.g. php5+sqlite+nanoweb) and runs "out of the box". It could significantly increase the number of users if Debian and Ubuntu users were only one apt-get away from using mediawikilite. Are there any technical hurdles? [[User:Parker|Parker]] 11:32, 26 May 2010 (UTC) :The main hold up really was MediaWiki's SQLite layer which I originally started off, but didn't have the SQL skills to get it to a stable state. But I tested it out not long ago and Brion, Tim Starling and a few others have done a lot of work on it and got it working pretty solidly. I'll take a look at building a deb package for it, but I've got a lot on so it'll probably be slow progress. --[[User:Nad|nad]] 03:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) ::That would be great. Let me know if you need any testing done, I'll give it a spin. I haven't succeeded in getting the nanoweb/sqlite (LNSP?) stack working whereas LAMP+mediawiki is quite easy. [[User:Parker|Parker]] 20:05, 28 May 2010 (UTC) :::As you can see from all the recent activity in this article, I've got it successfully running under both Linux and Windows as a completely self-contained folder structure with no need for installation. However, a Debian package will be quite easy to construct as a means of running it too because nanoweb is available in the Debian and Ubuntu APT repositories which means it's not much more than a meta package (one that only refers to other required packages but doesn't do anything itself). I'll create one in the next few days and add it to our package repo. --[[User:Nad|nad]] 20:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC) == Working == Folder installed into C:\MyWiki in VB Running this script: C:\MyWiki\php\php.exe -f c:\MyWiki\nanoweb\src\nanoweb.php -- --config=C:\MyWiki\nanoweb\nanoweb.conf Downloaded and tested, remember to navigate to localhost, can edit etc. --[[User:Jack|Jack]] 00:05, 29 May 2010 (NZST) == NanoWeb log output == Here's the output of NanoWeb ending on a lockup after attempting to save. The lockup happens on both Windows and Ubuntu on save, but gets a few headers further on Ubuntu and is recoverable. The lines that start with ''header:'' is output that I added into line 237 of ''mod_cgi.php''. {{code|<pre> 20100530:104011 aEGiS nanoweb/2.2.9 (C) 2002-2005 by sIX / aEGiS 20100530:104011 WARN: function 'pcntl_fork' not available 20100530:104011 WARN: function 'posix_setuid' not available 20100530:104011 loaded module : Static content support 20100530:104011 loaded module : CGI support 20100530:104011 loaded module : access limit based on server load average 20100530:104011 loaded module : Filter support 20100530:104011 loaded module : gzip content encoding support 20100530:104011 loaded theme : default server theme (4109 bytes) 20100530:104011 listening on port 55555 20100530:104011 ready and accepting connections Splash 20100530:104015 header: Status: 301 Moved Permanently 20100530:104015 header: X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.13 20100530:104015 header: Vary: Accept-Encoding, Cookie 20100530:104015 header: X-Vary-Options: Accept-Encoding;list-contains=gzip,Cookie;string-contains=wikidbToken;

I found that the content corresponding to the headers before the lock up is the page that should have been returned to the client after saving. The content corresponding with the last headers sent is the wiki's Atom feed!? weird! no seems norma, removing RSS feed requests with ''$wgFeed = false'' didn't fix it, the lockup simply happens at a different point. I installed [http://xdebug.org xdebug] with '''apt-get install php5-xdebug''' so that I could do a function trace to find where its locking up. To activate the extension I added the following directives to the end of ''php.ini'', the results are logged to ''/tmp/debug''. Note that the wiki runs from CGI which has it's ''php.ini'' in ''/etc/php5/cgi/php.ini'', but NanoWeb's config is in ''/etc/php5/cli/php.ini''. {{code|<pre> xdebug.profiler_enable = 1; xdebug.profiler_append = 1; xdebug.profiler_output_name = debug; xdebug.collect_params = 1; xdebug.collect_vars = 1; xdebug.collect_return = 1; </pre>}} On Ubuntu, the lockup only seems to happen after NanoWeb starts from the shell and the shell is left open... after the lockup, input to the shell is locked too, and closing the shell frees the lockup... weird! During the lockup, NanoWeb is actually running through its main loops cycle as the function trace shows it cycling through calls to ''socket_select'', ''pcntl_waitpid'' and ''time'' functions. == Notes on the problem == *Happens with either SQLite or MySQL *Happens when saving even if no revision is created *Happens on saving prefs
