Description Joel Uckelman 2010-07-13 15:51:04 UTC

Description of problem:

1) /usr/share/mediawiki/opensearch_desc.php is not symlinked to /var/www/wiki by default, so links to it served out in <head>s of wiki pages don't work.

2) Adding a symlink to it /var/www/wiki isn't sufficient to get it to work, because it contains the line

  require_once ( dirname(__FILE__) . '/includes/WebStart.php' );

and dirname(__FILE__) is incorrect when running opensearch_desc.php from /var/www/wiki/opensearch_desc.php.

In order to fix this, I had to change that line to:

  require_once( '/usr/share/mediawiki/includes/WebStart.php' );

Since a link to this script is served on every MW page, and a lot of browsers request it automatically, having no symlink or a bad require path can generate a huge number of errors in Apache's error_log.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mediawiki-1.15.4-54.fc13.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure MW.
2. Browse to /wiki/opensearch_desc.php.

  
Actual results:

404 Not Found.

Expected results:

An XML file produced by opensearch_desc.php.


Additional info:

This is basically the same issue as Bug 484855 was for api.php.

Comment 1 Joel Uckelman 2010-07-14 13:00:56 UTC

Addendum: I also needed to add 

  chdir('/usr/share/mediawiki');

to opensearch_desc.php.
