I'm not sure why you created a bug report since you are not using the install script. The package does not automatically create files in /var/www/wiki if you do not use the scripts. If you had any there then it is your responsibility. 1. It definitely *does* create /var/www/wiki with some contents. 2. Quote from the installed /etc/httpd/conf.d/mediawiki.conf: # This is a sample configuration for a wiki instance located under # /var/www/wiki and exposed as http://thishost/wiki. Please read # /usr/share/doc/mediawiki-*/README.RPM on whether to use this # instance or create copies of it. So this suggests that the install-script is optional! (Only required if one wants to create multiple instances instead of using the predefined one located at /var/www/wiki I suggest you fix this comment or create a README.Fedora wher ist clearly states that the predefinded thingy mentioned above is *not* suppoerted. After some thorough testing on a FRESHLY F18 VM: (In reply to Michael Cronenworth from comment #1) > I'm not sure why you created a bug report since you are not using the > install script. > > The package does not automatically create files in /var/www/wiki if you do > not use the scripts. If you had any there then it is your responsibility. This is simply not true! See the following proof: # rpm -V mediawiki (no output, so nothing modified) # rpm -qf /var/www/wiki mediawiki-1.19.6-1.fc18.noarch # rpm -qf /etc/mediawiki/instances mediawiki-1.19.6-1.fc18.noarch # cat /etc/mediawiki/instances /var/www/wiki # rpm -q --scripts mediawiki postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /usr/sbin/mw-updateallinstances >> /var/log/mediawiki-updates.log 2>&1 || : # sh -x /usr/sbin/mw-updateallinstances + read path + cat /etc/mediawiki/instances + grep '^ *#' + echo /var/www/wiki + mw-createinstance /var/www/wiki + test -e /var/www/wiki/LocalSettings.php + read path q.e.d. The actual bug is in mw-createinstance in the for-loop starting at line 26, which misses several names for which symlinks should be created. Another comment on your closing comment: Since the actual bug is in mw-createinstance it would have given the exact same result if i had used that script in the first place. No matter how the package is installed - it does not work at all without tweaking the file hierarchy manually. Created attachment 755027 [details]
Patch for fixing mw-createinstance.in
