I have added a lot of extensions to the Debian installed wiki that I have running. 2 things are concerning me: 1. the extensions do not show up in [[Special:Versions]] as they should including those installed byDebian. 2. I can not tell if any of them are working at all. I installed them by puting the extensionsin /usr/share/mediawiki-extensions & then softlinking them to /etc/mediawiki-extensions/available & to /etc/mediawiki-extensionsenabled This is not generating any error messages within the pages of my wiki, also I can see no indication that they are working either. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks! frosty
Each extension must be placed in its own directory under $WIKIDIR/extensions/ . $WIKIDIR is the directory where you installed your MediaWiki software.
For example, the "cite" extension would be installed as two files under the Cite directory in the extensions directory:
$WIKIDIR/extensions/Cite/Cite.php $WIKIDIR/extensions/Cite/Cite.i18n.phpJust in case you haven't already been there, here is the page that explains installing extensions:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ExtensionsTo be honest, I've never heard of the directories you listed above. I don't have the Debian version of MediaWiki (1.7) installed. I downloaded version 1.11.0 from the MediaWiki website.
Apt-file shows me that mediawiki1.7 (Etch) doesn't contain any such directories as those you listed. Perhaps you're using a different distribution. Anyway, the mediawiki in Debian is either old and crusty or weirdly configured. I suggest you get it from the MediaWiki web site. Good luck.
