Files counter.php and commandLine.inc Where to find them

[Temlakos]

Markus (and anyone else having any knowledge of this):

As I know you're putting together another SMW package that will rework
the entire SMW store and require me to run certain maintenance scripts,
I face a crisis: I cannot run any of your maintenance scripts.

They always fail on the opening of one or both of the following files:

1.   counter.php
2.   commandLine.inc

Where are those files supposed to be located? Whenever I try to run
them, I get a message from the PHP runtime engine saying that it looked
from them in the /usr/local/include/ directory and could not find them.

If these are MediaWiki files, then I'd like to know where I might fetch
them and where to install them so that the scripts can find them and
open them.

If these are any other kind of file, know this: Some of us are running
MediaWiki under one restriction or another. My Web hosts are furnishing
a dedicated server. But that server uses the Plesk control panel--and
Plesk insists, to the point of an automatic override, that PHP run
restricted to the "httpdocs" directory and never go outside it. Lately I
have been trying to work around that restriction by creating symbolic
links to certain outside files in a directory called "httpdocs/bin". If
I have to do that in this case, I will.

More to the point, if I don't get those two files, then I will be
limited to the "old store." In fact, I was never able to run the
"unifyProperties.php" script when I upgraded from SMW 0.7 to 1.0. I had
to do a "manual unification" that took me about an hour.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

PS: In case anyone's wondering why I don't simply "check out" the
"current version" of SMW from SVN, remember that I created a custom data
type (SMW_DV_HxDate.php) to which I needed to add some custom references
in the DataValueFactory class and in nearly all the language files. A
simple SVN checkout will erase those custom references, and that I
/cannot/ afford on a "live" server.

Right now I'm running SMW 1.1.1, with my custom "historical date" datatype.

Are you following the instructions in extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/README ?

They're in mediawiki/maintenance, and as the README says you have to
copy the SMW maintenance files there or make them symlinks in that
directory.

You might be able to instead copy the MediaWiki maintenance
infrastructure back into the SMW maintenance directory and run from
there; I tried it a while ago and couldn't get it to work.

If you're restricted to running things through a web interface you'll
probably have other issues.  I think someone on this mailing list made a
version of SMW_refreshData.php that worked as a web page.

Good luck,

`svn update` will preserve your local changes, possibly adding '>>>>'
around lines with conflicting changes.  But you probably want to do `svn
switch` to the REL_1_1_2 tag first if you don't want the absolute latest
1.2 changes.
