Description claire robinson 2012-09-11 12:28:13 CEST

Access directives have changed with apache 2.4. Order deny, allow has been depracated. 

I added 'Require local' to /etc//httpd/conf/webapps.d/mediawiki-common.conf and /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/mediawiki.conf and it now shows images such as the light bulb on the database configuration page during installation.

This seems fixed now Oliver. 

I haven't fully installed yet due to bug 7440 so will leave this open for now until it's been fully tested.

I don't know and apparently Claire doesn't know either. Removing the NEEDINFO keyword for now, because it can't be fully tested yet.

Comment 4 Guillaume Rousse 2013-03-29 14:58:15 CET

This package is uselessly complex. 

All other web applications in the distribution ship with a minimalist apache configuration allowing out of the box access to a standardized default url, and allow further customization if actually needed by final user. Here, we have two different apache configuration files, a non-working default http://localhost/mediawiki url, and a custom installation procedure documented in README.urpmi, based on a homemade script. In order to make multi-instance setup easier for the few people needing it, everyone else is screwed.

If multi-instance support is an upstream feature, just pointing to relevant upstream configuration should be enough to configure it. The simple fact than this bug  is now 5-month old shows than added value is not worth added maintenance complexity.

Additionaly, the mediawiki-sqlite package could ship a /var/lib/mediawiki directory owned by apache user, to host the relevant database file. This would be some kind of added-value with no usability impact.
