Linux: Mediawiki shows Method not Implemented

Contributed by bravecobra on Oct 21, 2007 - 05:29 PM

It took me a while to figure out what happed but the MediaWiki installation I have running on my intranet suddenly started spitting out errors pages like : Method Not Implemented POST to /mediawiki/index.php not supported. I had recently upgraded mediawiki, so I thought that was the problem, just another bug. However that was not the case. Later on I stumbled upon the next message:http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/22001, which provided me with the knowledge that mod_security was blocking the POST request. Disabling it, made mediawiki work correctly again.

<directory var="" www="" localhost="" htdocs="" mediawiki"="">

</directory>

I had my wiki installed on another hosting env, with some pages having Turkish Characters.
After changing to a new server I relized that only turkish named pages refuses 'save'. Blocking security is not the optimal solution I guess..
