I have downloaded the open source code. But there is no config/ directory and instead of that there is config-old/

I have tried to install using that directory but it gives the error.

Could not open “../maintenance/tables.sql”.

Please anyone can help me?

No, we eventually went with a vanilla Mediawiki 1.11 install and extended from there.

There was some help eventually forthcoming on the wikihow forum

“Patrol helper is included in the distribution at this location:

/wiki19/extensions/wikihow/PatrolHelper.php

Looks like you have an issue with your include path. I’d change it to make sure it includes the wikihow extensions directory.”

Which is the same as Gordon volunteered in comment 3.

If you are going to try and use that you better have a full-time programmer on staff, or at the ready.

Yes, looks very similar, in that some of it works and some of it does not!

I had the same problem during one attempt to install on a shared hosting account at pair.com.

Anyway, the PatrolHelper.php file is located in the ‘/extentions/wikihow/’
directory.

I finally got it installed and working….kind of:

Oh thanks Gordon. I’d better try and find it again then.

Add these lines:

require_once('extensions/wikihow/WikiHow.php');
require_once('extensions/wikihow/FeaturedArticles.php');
require_once('extensions/wikihow/Request.php');
require_once('extensions/Postcomment/SpecialPostcomment.php');

to WikiHowSkin.php

and then you will find some other bugs.

Well that’s at least three of us then. No luck so far.

Hi there.

Did you find out anything? I recently tried installing it myself, but I got the same error.
