Wikipedia talk:Portal/Instructions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Our company has a private MediaWiki. On it the Portal does not work. Is there a function on the Server that must be enabled to allow it to work? Help? 159.153.138.70 18:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I struggled with this too. The answer you seek is here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Spblat#Setting_up_Portals_in_a_Wiki --71.193.232.37 20:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I really appreciate the easy tutorial, and am having a slight problem. At the top of the screen i will get this error:

Warning: proc_open(/dev/null) [function.proc-open]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\wamp\www\wiki\includes\Parser.php on line 730

Line 730 from my /includes/parser.php

730 $process = proc_open("$wgTidyBin -config $wgTidyConf $wgTidyOpts$opts", $descriptorspec, $pipes);

However, it doesn't happen at all if i comment out the 3rd item in the descriptorspec array from my /includes/parser.php

I'm by no means a php expert and am not really familiar with the proc_open function, so i'm not sure how that array is used (i.e. what I might screw up by removing that line). Did i miss something involved with configuring tidy?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! Rashad78 21:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
