how to setup a wikifarm
Giovanni SavastanoGiovanni Savastano 1212337580|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi everyone,
I have an up and running wikidot on my server (a web server on debian etch).
I've encountered some troubles during the installation process but all goes fine at the end! (soon I'll leave some comments on the how-tos)

now I've this strange problems:

- DB_UserKarmaPeerBase.php not found at all (and on the server it doesn't exist!)
- some strange behavior with image rendering with FF3 on OSX. (but it's a secondary problem)
- no third-level domain creating on the the system (nor databases, folders and so on).

how can I have a working wikifarm like wikidot.com if wikidot itself doesn't create third levels? there is something else to do i've missed?
why my wikidot permit users to set-up their own wikis and then doesn't create it?

thanks all of you for the help and sorry for my bad english…. :-(
Giovanni

I've solved one issue:
- third level: the solution become creating alias in apache config for the same site.

but another trouble come to surface:
- encoding error rendering accented words (à è ì ò ù and so on…), non-ascii words and some simbols (…, @, $, etc.etc)

seems that wikidot don't want to work correctly for me!!!
if I try to send a private message, I receive this error( when I press reply or send):

<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to a member function getReceivePm() on a non-object in <b>/home/undpwikis/public_html/php/utils/WDPermissionManager.php</b> on line <b>553</b><br />

could it be a db grant error?

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

to solve the getReceivePm() error:
is a not (yet) solved wikidot bug. the workaround is:
create a new user like "new-admin" then give him super_admin level by flagging as true (or 1) the field super_admin in ozone_user table.

you can do that by:

  1. su
  2. su postgres
  3. psql wd1
  4. UPDATE ozone_user SET super_admin = true WHERE unix_name = 'new-admin'

then start using the brand new admin.

to solve definitely the PM to/from Admin problem:

  1. su
  2. su postgres
  3. psql wd1
  4. INSERT INTO user_settings (user_id) VALUES (1);

thanks Piotr!
