Hallo
I did read those pages. I promise! Really! I mean it! Initially it
didnt
work with the original Mysql dialect. Probably because i did not yet
solve the security trouble i had at that moment.
i cleaned the database and changed from Mysql5 to the Mysql Dialect
and
OH see! it works! :-)
Glad you got it working!
yet it amazes me: mysql did change a lot of things
from version 4.1 to
5.0 (join syntax, sql strict). i was kinda expecting more detailed
requirements on the database versions. i do a lot of work and
installations on php based software. they all distinguish mysql
4.0, 4.1
and 5.0 versions. compared to mediawiki the setup takes ages. well 2
hours compared to 20 minutes. no disaster - yet space for
improvement :)
Well there are 2 options when installing:
1) User want to try quickly or is not too technical: He uses the
standalone installation. (the zip, installer jar or exe). There's
nothing to do, it's all setup; No container, no db to setup.
2) User wants control on his container + DB and is technical: He
picks the WAR AND reads the documentation.
For 1), setup takes under a minute.
For 2), I would say setup should take about 10 minutes max if you
follow the documentation.
Still I'd like to understand why it took longer for you and how
mediawiki's setup is simpler so that we can improve the setup.
Thanks
-Vincent
ready for testing now.
thanks a lot!

ossi
