Mediawiki maintenance scripts
(See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maintenance_scripts)
In /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/ copy AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php, create a new user wikiadmin for mysql with localhost only, and edit AdminSettings.php accordingly. Then, for each wiki, in /var/www/wikifolder/, a symlink must be created linking to /usr/share/mediawiki/phase3/AdminSettings.php. Since we have a symlinked installation, installations scripts must run like:
php /var/www/wikifolder/maintenance/rebuildall.php --conf /var/www/wikifolder/LocalSettings.php
php /var/www/wikifolder/maintenance/importImages.php --conf /var/www/wikifolder/LocalSettings.php /var/www/wikifolder/media/newimages .jpg .png .svg
Rebuild all is necessary after external text, sql, or xml imports.
Table corruption: rebuildall.php may report that a table, especially searchindex (which is MyISAM even if other tables are InnoDB) is corrupt and needs to be repaired. In phpmyadmin (http://biowikifarm.net/phpmyadmin_v3-3-7), open a sql window for the affected database, and issue: truncate table searchindex;
. Running rebuildall.php afterwards concluded the repair in a case we had.
After erroneously localizing commons images not to openmedia but to local wikis, extension Nuke was used to deleted the caching-bot imports, and deleteArchivedFiles to actually delete all archived files, e.g.:
cd /var/www/v-on/w; php ./maintenance/deleteArchivedFiles.php --conf ./LocalSettings.php --delete
Fix problems with unparsable image names (see [1]). Needs NOT be run on regular basis, usually no problems:
cd /var/www/v-k2n/w; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-on/w; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-species/w; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-species/o; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
cd /var/www/v-species/s; php ./maintenance/cleanupImages.php --fix --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Extension maintenance scripts
Some extensions provide their own maintenance scripts in their own extension folder. On a wiki farm, the execution of these scripts may fail due to the linked directory structure. They need an additional link (needs to be created only once):
cd /usr/share/mediawiki/; ln -s /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/maintenance
cd /usr/share/mediawikistaging/; ln -s /usr/share/mediawikistaging/phase3/maintenance
TitleKey now installed (here only example, full set of update commands available further down!):
cd /var/www/testwiki; php ./extensions/TitleKey/rebuildTitleKeys.php --conf ./LocalSettings.php
MediaWiki version upgrading
Core and wikimedia-base extensions
# 1. Update the git clone on biowikifarm: cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/core; sudo git fetch; cd ../extensions; sudo git pull; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive; cd ../skins; sudo git pull; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive;
Core and extensions are exported by a tar archive export out of a git clone. This works for creating the first version as well as updating. (Suggestion: before starting the script do a sudo command, e.g. sudo ls
so the bash prompt knows your password and you don't have to give your password over and over again). DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT ENTIRELY and be fully AWARE OF WHAT YOU EXACTLY DO.
How the structure is intended:
mw-wmf-clone ├ core (Git) ─────────git-archive-export───┐ └ extensions (Git) ───git-archive-export─→ ) ─┐ │ │ wiki-source-LTS (e.g. REL1_23) │ │ ┌ core-files (local git archive-export) ←┘ │ ├ extensions (mixed: │ │ svn biowikifarm, (repo: as svn-post-commit) │ git-archive-export) ←──────────────────┘ │ ↓ │ web-wiki (as LTS web Wiki) ├─→ core-files (linked) └─→ extensions (linked)
# variables
git_mw_basedir="/usr/share/mw-wmf-clone"
git_mw_core_source_dir="${git_mw_basedir}/core"
git_mw_extension_source_dir="${git_mw_basedir}/extensions"
git_tag_wikiversion="1.20.7"
git_branch="origin/REL1_20" # if nothin gis specified this will be the default to extract
mw_LTS_version_source_path="/usr/share/mediawiki20"
# 1. Update biowikifarm clone:
# UPGRADE step may not be necessary: upgrade changes from remote git source: fetch & merge
cd "${git_mw_core_source_dir}";
sudo git pull;
git branch -r | sort --version-sort # list branches
git tag -l | sort --version-sort # list tags
cd "${git_mw_extension_source_dir}";
sudo git pull; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive;
git branch -r | sort --version-sort # list branches
git tag -l | sort --version-sort # list tags
# 2. Export (git archive) a specific MediaWiki versions into other folders:
# First Update Core only, create path if not yet present:
if ! [ -d "${mw_LTS_version_source_path}" ]; then sudo mkdir "${mw_LTS_version_source_path}"; fi
# note that git archive does not extract mw-config directory for install (?gitignored something?)
cd "${git_mw_core_source_dir}"; sudo git archive $git_tag_wikiversion | sudo tar --extract --overwrite --directory="${mw_LTS_version_source_path}"
# Note: tar provides a "--recursive-unlink" option for extract, which removes the content of the target folder
# However, our mediawiki installations require many additional files (svn, widget-right changes, smarty, commons-bot)
# which would have to be manually restored. Therefore, DO NOT use --recursive-unlink !
# 3. Export (git archive) the extensions:
# In list of extensions desired version is specified like the following examples:
# "SemanticMediaWiki" → version HEAD + extension SemanticMediaWiki
# "SemanticMediaWiki, 1.8" → version 1.8 + extension SemanticMediaWiki
## NOTE: DO NOT use SemanticCalendar - this is obsolete!!!

Upgrading individual Wikimedia-based extensions
The above upgrade all extensions. If an error is detected in a single extension, it is often better to upgrade only this, since updates to other extensions may introduce new errors.
- Note: in many cases it is possible to delete an extension first before updating. HOWEVER SOME EXTENSIONS need special additions or configurations beyond git and will NOT WORK if deleted and checked out. Similarly, use the dangerous "delete-all-option" "tar --recursive-unlink" only if 100% certain that this is not the case for a given extension!
Following are some examples from recent updates:
# (1) upgade all extensions managed by git
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions; sudo git pull; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive;
# check for tags of a specific extension
# cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/Maps; git tag -l | sort --version-sort
# (2) overwrite extension
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/MwEmbedSupport && sudo git archive --prefix=MwEmbedSupport/ HEAD | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/Maps && sudo git archive --prefix=Maps/ tags/2.0.1 | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/ConfirmAccount && sudo git archive --prefix=ConfirmAccount/ HEAD | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
# OR, TO GO TO SPECIFIC RELEASE BRANCH, DO:
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/ConfirmAccount && sudo git archive --prefix=ConfirmAccount/ origin/REL1_20 | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/PrefSwitch && sudo git archive --prefix=PrefSwitch/ HEAD | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/Vector && sudo git archive --prefix=Vector/ HEAD | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
cd /usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions/SemanticDrilldown && sudo git archive --prefix=SemanticDrilldown/ HEAD | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory=/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions
# DELETE manually an extension directory before extracting it using bash variables
# do delete only if it is save to the extension upgrading it by deleting it first
extensionName="LiquidThreads"; versionOrTag="HEAD"; directoryFrom="/usr/share/mw-wmf-clone/extensions"; directoryTo="/usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions";
sudo ls ; # make sure sudo does not prompt for password on subsequent commands
cd "${directoryFrom}/${extensionName}" && if [ -d "${directoryTo}" ]; then rm -r "${directoryTo}/${extensionName}/"; fi && \
sudo git archive --prefix="${extensionName}/" ${versionOrTag} | \
sudo -u www-data tar --extract --overwrite --directory="${directoryTo}"
Updating extensions based in local subversion repo
# 4. SVN-Extension UPDATING
# If necessary: make sure www-data can update!!
# cd /usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions && sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ./.svn/
# Update from LOCAL-svn with:
cd ${wikipath}extensions; sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/svn update;
Updating additional extensions from other sources
# 5. Additional extensions from other sources

Skins
Since Mediawiki V1.25 the default skins are in a separate Git respository, copied separately
# variables
git_mw_basedir="/usr/share/mediawiki25"
git_mw_skins_source_dir="${git_mw_basedir}/skins"
cd $git_mw_skins_source_dir
# get default skins from separate skin git
sudo git clone https://git.wikimedia.org/git/mediawiki/skins/Vector.git
# optionally get special skins from separate git(s)
sudo git clone https://github.com/MfN-Berlin/mwSkinNaturkunde.git
Additional tasks
# 6. Finishing touches. Widgets needs a writable folder:
cd ${wikipath}
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ./extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates;
sudo chmod g+w -R ./extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates;
# eg. sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates; sudo chmod g+w -R /usr/share/mediawiki20/extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates
# Widgets does not contain all necessary code (-> Warning: require_once(/usr/share/mediawiki20/phase3/extensions/Widgets/smarty/Smarty.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory...)
# In the absence of installation instructions, using previously saved code:
sudo cp -r /usr/share/mw-missing-code/Widgets/smarty ./extensions/Widgets
sudo cp -r /usr/share/mw-missing-code/Widgets/googlecode ./extensions/Widgets
<!--
# NOTE: in Dec. 2012 the parts were originally copied as seen below:
sudo mkdir /usr/share/mw-missing-code
sudo mkdir /usr/share/mw-missing-code/Widgets
sudo cp -r /usr/share/mediawikistaging/ext-tagged-release/Widgets/smarty /usr/share/mw-missing-code/Widgets
sudo cp -r /usr/share/mediawikistaging/ext-tagged-release/Widgets/googlecode /usr/share/mw-missing-code/Widgets
-->
Restart web services
sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -k graceful && sudo service nginx restart && sudo service php5-fpm restart # Optionally do other updates: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
Update, runJobs, rebuildFileCache, refreshMetadata scripts
NOTE: Add gbif-kos, check all wikis
Occasionally version upgrades of Mediawiki require an upgrade of the database structures. Again, the update.php must be called with symlink-compatible syntax. Examples for mediawiki core and titlekey extension:

Upgrade-Checklist of issues and task
When upgrading to a new wiki core check the following issues
Cron jobs
- valid path? e.g. /extensions/CommonsMediaCaching/runJobs.sh. See /etc/cron…
Cache and Media folders
Cache is the file cache, to reduce server load when used by not-logged-in users.
Cleaning corrupt Cache
for f in /mnt/dump/var/www/*cache/*/*/*.html; do sudo rm "$f"; done for f in /mnt/dump/var/www/*cache/*.cdb; do sudo rm "$f"; done for f in /mnt/dump/var/www/*cache/*; do sudo rm "$f" -r; done sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl -k graceful && sudo service nginx restart && sudo service php5-fpm restart
Moving Cache and Media folders to different partition
Only limited space exists on the root partition itself. Larger Wiki have their Media and Cache folders relocated to the the /mnt/storage and /mnt/dump partitions, respectively. The cache of the following Wikis is presently in /mnt/dump/var/www/: testwiki-cache; v-ispi-w-cache; v-k2n-w-cache; v-lias-w-cache; v-nnvm-w-cache; v-on-w-cache; v-orowiki-w-cache; v-species-o-cache; v-species-w-cache. Move like:
### manual version
# create folders on dump, then change owner and group:
cd /mnt/dump/var/www; sudo mkdir v-lias-w-cache; sudo chown www-data *; sudo chgrp www-data *;
# remove current cache, create link to new folder:
cd /var/www/v-lias/w; sudo rm cache -r; sudo ln -s /mnt/dump/var/www/v-lias-w-cache cache
### script version
# create folders on dump, then change owner and group:
var_dump_path="/mnt/dump/var/www";
var_dump_folder="v-lias-w-cache";
web_wiki_base_path="/var/www/v-lias/w",
sudo mkdir --parent "${var_dump_path}/${var_dump_folder}";
sudo chown www-data "${var_dump_path}/${var_dump_folder}";
sudo chgrp www-data "${var_dump_path}/${var_dump_folder}";
# remove current cache, create link to new folder:
sudo rm "${web_wiki_base_path}/cache" -r;
# make a symlink
cd "${web_wiki_base_path}" && sudo ln -s "${var_dump_path}/${var_dump_folder}" "cache"
For linking media folder (to Storage, not Dump!):
cd /mnt/storage/; sudo mkdir var-www-v-species-w-media; sudo chown www-data var-www-v-species-w-media; sudo chgrp www-data var-www-v-species-w-media; sudo cp /var/www/v-species/w/media /mnt/storage/var-www-v-species-w-media ## check and manually delete old media folder! Then create link: cd /var/www/v-species/w; sudo ln -s /mnt/storage/var-www-v-species-w-media media
General topics
MediaWiki configuration tips
Configuring MediaWiki:Sidebar: New options July 2008, see [2]
It may be useful to copy the contents of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Monobook.css into the Mediawiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Monobook.css pages of each Wiki where you may want to use copied things e.g. templates from wikipedia.
File uploading and Mime types
Uploading files with extensions and Content types (MIME types) usually not allowed on wikis:
The default of normally allowed extensions is listed $wgFileExtensions
in /includes/DefaultSettings.php (which should never be edited). To allow
additional extensions override $wgFileExtensions
in LocalSettings.php.
There are also $wgMimeTypeBlacklist and $wgFileBlacklist for file extensions and MIME types that are never allowed for security reasons, even if added to $wgFileExtensions
. If needed for special purposes and considered safe, they can be commented out in these blacklists in LocalSettings.php.
If there is still the error message "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again", the reason can be that the file you want to upload has a MIME type for which only certain file extensions are allowed in /includes/mime.types and has an extension not listed there. If considered safe, the extension can be added in that file. The mime type can be determined with the command file -i filename
. Note: Files that are changed manually are then excluded from svn update. To drop own changes and get back to the svn version delete the file and then run svn update (see above).
Logging/Debugging
For debugging, you may enable logging of debug and error messages:
# create a log-file somewhere
sudo touch /var/www/v-k2n/w/log.txt
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/v-k2n/w/log.txt
# edit LocalSettings.php and add the following line after the line including the DefaultSettings.php:
$wgDebugLogFile = "/var/www/v-k2n/w/log.txt";
Note, that the logfile will grow fast, so one should switch on the logging only for short periods of time, and delete the logfile after done.
PHP debugging can be done with xdebug. Details see Mediawiki debugging.
Apply a Patch Manually to a File (LTS Version)
Some branches of a MediaWiki Long Term Support (LTS) version seem not to be “back”-integrated in an older branch, e.g. origin/REL1_23. So one has to apply bug-fixes manually by applying a patch to a file for a LTS version:
- download and extract the file reported as being fixed (example: ApiQueryImageInfo.php)
- move it to the folder of the LTS version
- check differences, create a patch
- apply the patch
(TODO: There is possibly also a way to integrate a git pull to a specific branch)
# set variables
mw_LTS_version_source_path="/usr/share/mediawiki20"
mw_LTS_version_source_extension_path="${mw_LTS_version_source_path}/extensions"
# go to the source folder to apply the patch
cd "${mw_LTS_version_source_path}/includes/api"
# have the downloaded and extracted file already in place
# use wget and tar -x
### check differences ##
# vimdiff ApiQueryImageInfo.php ApiQueryImageInfo_new-64d8aeda6305b64974731c4408b85e92225f1752.php
# move left-down-top-right by h←, j↓, k↑, l→
# quit and type ":q" to quit split vimdiff window one by one (i.e. twice ":q")
### create patch ###
# diff --unified oldfile newfile > file.diffpatch
sudo diff --unified ApiQueryImageInfo.php ApiQueryImageInfo_new-64d8aeda6305b64974731c4408b85e92225f1752.php > 'ApiQueryImageInfo_Internal_error_in_ApiResult::setElement:Bad_parameter.diffpatch'
# apply the patch
sudo patch < "ApiQueryImageInfo_Internal_error_in_ApiResult::setElement:Bad_parameter.diffpatch"
# reverse the patch
# sudo patch --reverse < "ApiQueryImageInfo_Internal_error_in_ApiResult::setElement:Bad_parameter.diffpatch"
Backup/Restore in general
Backing up the database alone is documented here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki. A more complete script can be found here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Flominator/Backup_MW - this also backups the folder with uploads (media). Based on that source, adapted scripts were created, execute as:
cd /var/backups/scripts/; ./backup-mw.sh
The additional backup-mw.php script can potentially be used within www to directly create and download a copy of the mediawiki. We are considering this as a measure to build trust.
In addition, to create an xml dump, make sure a link to AdminSettings.php exists in the current wiki folder and the maintenance folder is temporarily copied, then run, e.g.:
cd /var/www/v-on/w; sudo -u www-data php ./maintenance/dumpBackup.php --full --conf ./LocalSettings.php > /var/www/v-orowiki/w/media/full.xml
To restore such a xml-dump, remove tables and create new tables with default values in mysql, then:
cd /var/www/WIKINAME; # (replace path with actual wiki path!)
php ./maintenance/importDump.php /var/backups/wikis/k2n-full.xml --conf ./LocalSettings.php
php ./maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php --conf ./LocalSettings.php # absolutely necessary
## If backlinks etc. do not work, or extensions had to be disabled, use (Very slow!!!!):
php ./maintenance/rebuildall.php --quick --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Notes: In our experience, some extensions may create problems during reimport. We found GoogleMaps and DynamicPageList to cause importDump to abort. After disabling these two extensions, the import worked correctly. However, all DPL pages are then still cached without proper DPL rendering even after re-enabling both extensions. Running rebuildall.php fixed this.
Example restore for testing of the wikimediafoundation commons xml-dump:
cd /var/www/wmf-commons; php ./maintenance/importDump.php /mnt/wpTest/commonswiki-pages-articles.xml --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Refresh SemanticMW data
If it becomes necessary to delete all SMW data in a particular wiki and regenerate the data again from the individual pages the following command lines can be used:
cd /var/www/WIKINAME; # (replace path with actual wiki path!)
sudo -u www-data php ./maintenance/runJobs.php -v --procs 4 --conf ./LocalSettings.php
# rebuildData.php
# -f Fully delete all content instead of just refreshing
# -t refresh only type pages
# -c refresh only category pages
# -p refresh only property pages
# -v be verbose about the progress
### rebuild data completely from scratch
# sudo -u www-data php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php --dbuser=wikiadmin -fv --conf=./LocalSettings.php
# # may work only with equal sign = in --conf=./LocalSettings.php
### just update relevant data (a category) or all data
# # may work only with equal sign = in --conf=./LocalSettings.php
sudo -u www-data php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php --dbuser=wikiadmin --query='[[Category:ThisandThat]]' --conf=./LocalSettings.php
sudo -u www-data php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php --dbuser=wikiadmin -v --conf=./LocalSettings.php
sudo -u www-data php ./maintenance/runJobs.php -v --procs 4 --conf ./LocalSettings.php
Notes:
- change to the local directory of the wiki to be refreshed,
- make sure all outstanding jobs are completed,
- delete all SMW data,
- regenerate the data from the individual pages.
The last step can take some time (e.g. about 10 minutes to refresh about 4000 IDs). The wiki seems to work normally during that time but queries may be effected. For that reason it is recommended to implement this operation during a maintenance window.
During step 4 the procedure slows down after about 5 min. and can be sped up by:
- interrupting the procedure by using Crtl-C
- restarting the last command by specifying the next ID to be processed, e.g.
php ./extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php -v -s 2062 --conf ./LocalSettings.php # may work only with --conf=./LocalSettings.php
if 2061 IDs had been already processed at the time of the interruption.
