I upgraded from Mediawiki version 1.25 (IIRC) to 1.27 on my wiki, wiki.worldofasdar.com. I can no longer view the wiki. Mediawiki upgrade page (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading) says that other software needs to be updated, including PHP 5.5.9 or higher. I edited the htaccess file by adding text as recommended on site5 (my host). However, I still can't see the wiki.

You are getting a PHP error! We need the actual error message. See blank page for how to get it!
I wish to create a page for the '1% Biker Culture' and I am having a hard time understanding the how-to and why-fors on how to open a 'New Page'.
Perhaps you would be able to guide me in the appropriate direction.
Thanks,

Hello, I am in the process of moving from Wikia to an independent host. I have imported most of my pages, but noticed a problem. On Wikia, you can create image galleries without the "File:" prefix coming before the image. That does not seem to be supported in default MediaWiki. Is there some javascript or something else I can use to make this work on standard MediaWiki? Or will the "File:" prefixes all have to be inserted manually?
What do you mean "Image galleries"?
<gallery>
</gallery>
On Wikia, images can be inserted like this, and still display properly:
<gallery>
Pic1.png
Pic2.png
</gallery>
But on standard Mediawiki, the "File:" prefix is required, or they do not display.
<gallery>
File:Pic1.png
File:Pic2.png
</gallery>
I am wondering if there is a workaround to allow the files to display in galleries without the "File:" prefix, as otherwise I will have to manually insert it on every gallery page.
It is not required on standard installation.
File extensions aren't required by MW for galleries, for example: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project:Sandbox&oldid=2298130
why are the mediawiki's desk content different from the mobile content in index pages?

If I edit the index pages on mobile,will the desk change?
Hi there,
I have been trying to find out if this is possible. Currently, users upload their files (jpg, pdf, etc) into the mediawiki and it goes to the following location:
http://mywiki/images/9/9c/ThisIsFile.pdf
- Is it possible to separate the upload of pdf so it goes to a different directory such as: http://mywiki/files/9/9c/ThisIsFile.pdf
- is it possible to upload files of pdf so it goes to a different server location? The reason this is requested is so that for future purposes, all the pdf that is located in this other server, mediawiki might be able to scrape all the words that does text searching in this other server. It would also help to lessen the typical traffic on the mediawiki server where people would just like to view pages only.
I have look at different support such as this, doesn't seem like there are replies. Anybody? Help would be much appreciated!

I get the following error whenever I try and search using the search function on the left hand side.
"
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 "SearchMySQL::searchInternal
". Database returned error "145: Table './callcenter/searchindex' is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)
".
"
I am not sure where to start looking to troubleshoot this issue. Unfortunately our wiki is on an internal company only network and is inaccessible from outside the network.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Hello! When I want to open the file in the article I get the error "Internal Server Error". What's wrong? Thanks
An internal server error usually points to an error happening inside the webserver. Check the webserver's error log to get more information about the actual problem!
Hello,
I try to link a doc file on my own server. So I look on internet and wiki pages and I add that line to my page mediawiki
<ext>file:/media/server/Installation/git.doc</ext>
but the line stay like this on the web page, no interpretation of the link.
Upload it or move to directory accessible from web server.
I understood the question in a way that he ants to be able to access the files through the file:/// protocol.
Doing so is possible, but you have to allow that protocol in one of the configuration variables. And you hould follow the advices given on the according pages concerning upload of Word documents. In short: It can be insecure.
