Hi, my apologies for the confusion.

However, both vbWiki Std and vbWiki Pro are 'bridges' between vBulletin and MediaWiki. In the installation instructions above it is stated:

Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but from reading the side-by-side comparison between Standard and Prof version, it seems the Standard is much better and easier to work with ?

instead of put them in /vbwiki/ folder, can i put them under /wiki/ folder ?

:) It depends. vbWiki Standard is easier to install, but on the other hand, vbWiki Pro has quite a number of features missing from vbWiki Standard. For instance with vbWiki Pro you get skin integration, usergroup management, Admin CP to control vbWiki and MediaWiki's operation, etc. A more thorough comparison can be found over at our site.

If you are installing vbWiki Standard, you can rename the /vbWiki folder to something else, although this is not advisable.

Please notice that this folder (e.g. /forums/vbWiki) is never seen by your visitors. Instead your visitors will go to the folder where you installed MediaWiki (e.g. /wiki).

The folder where vbWiki is installed does not affect your forum or wiki URLs.

Ok, I have found the source of the error by looking in the error log:

This is what made the crash semi-random. I changed the memory limit in the LocalSettings.php, and the problem went away.

What I still don't know is what is taking so much memory. The problem only occurred when having the vbWiki extension active, but this could of course either mean that this extension takes up a lot of memory itself, or that it was just the last drop, but the real culprit was some other extension.

Oh, and one more tip, which I found when looking through the error logs. The following (non-critical) error in your code appears a lot in the error-log, so you might want to fix it:

vbWiki will need to load the vBulletin bridge to access vBulletin's users and DB. This requires extra memory. Now, 20MB seems a bit excessive. I have seen vBulletin use around 6-8 MB, but I don't know how much MediaWiki usually uses. Also, as you mention it would depend on MW extensions or vBulletin mods installed.


Thanks for the heads up.

You can edit that line vbWiki_Hooks.php and change it from:
to

Thanks.

If i install Standard version now and decide to upgrade to the Pro version later, do I have to reinstall everything again ?

I assume the Standard version here is exactly the same as the nuWiki version released on your site ?

To upgrade to vbWiki Pro you only need to follow the vbWiki Pro installation instructions, you do not need to reinstall MediaWiki.

No, NuWiki is a different product.

NuWiki does not use MediaWiki. Instead NuWiki is implemented from zero on top of vBulletin (e.g. you can use vBulletin's WYSIWYG BBCode editor to create and modify articles, or you can take an existing thread (e.g. sticky) and convert it into a NuWiki article, etc).

A comparison between NuWiki and vbWiki Pro can be found in this page: http://www.nuhit.com/nuwiki/comparison.html

Ah, I see where i got confused.
Look like nuwiki is what i need.

:) We will be releasing free trial download for NuWiki in our site within the next week or two.
