Hi

I'm very new in this forum and have just installed dekiwiki.

But the search function does not seem to work properly - it will not search though all the new wiki sites or attachments (doc, pdf) I have added??

Can anyone help me??

Has it something to do with lucene??

I'm running on Fedora Core5 final.

Is it indexing anything? I just recently solved the same problem (thanks to Pete_E).

Don't know!

How can I check that??

What does it give you when you enter in a search?

Mine wasn't coming back with anything. So, I re-enabled the internal search by adding this to my LocalSettings.php file:


$wgDisableInternalSearch = false;

That indexed wiki articles, but not file attachments.

I had to do some more work to get the mwlucene script to work correctly.

It returns nothing when i search for somthing in the wiki sites and attachments I have added.. but it returns something when I search for something in the wiki sites that are by default in the installation.

I will try the
$wgDisableInternalSearch = false;

But I also need to get the search to work in doc and pdf files??

Okay I have now tried to add the $wgDisableInternalSearch = false;, and then it returns some results.. but then they are listet in a different and not pretty way??

This is what worked for me:

From Pete_E:


Maybe your /etc/init.d/mwlucene file is screwed up. Could you try grabbing a fresh copy from me?

wget http://www.mindtouch.com/~petee/mwlucene
chmod a+x mwlucene
cp mwlucene /etc/init.d/
/etc/init.d/mwlucene restart

I made sure my database name was on line #5 and my database username and password were correct (line 47 and 48) in the /etc/mwsearch.conf.

Then I ran:


/usr/local/bin/MWUpdater --rebuild

as root (or in my case I used sudo).

Then I restarted the service:


/etc/init.d/mwlucene restart

All of this, of course, was done after following the section in the install guide on how to Install and Configure Search Indexing (http://doc.opengarden.org/DekiWiki/Installation_Guide#Install_and_Configure_Search_In dexing)


I also had to turn off the internal search feature.

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known

but it seems to continue??

Is it a problem that I have followed the Fedora Core 4 installation guide? I have ofcause used core 5 packages.

And the opration didn't solve the problem?? :(
