hebrew in mediawiki [solved]
Hay
I am using the Turnkey MediaWiki's live cd, and in English every thing is going well. but when I try to use Hebrew, I get a mysql error that I am mixing illegal charecters. So I cant search and I can't link to other pages. is there a way to install Hebrew support?
My other question is:
Is there a GUI to the TurnKey MediaWiki? all I got is a terminal view...
Thanks

Regarding your GUI question, our appliances are currently optimized for server role tasks, and as such don't come with a full-blown desktop environment - even though you can install one (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), it is generally not done on linux servers.
An appliance is intended to be administered remotely from another computer via the web management interface and SSH service.

credentials
Reply 3The default credentials are available in the release notes.
When installing an appliance, you will be asked to supply a new password for the root user (which I assume you are referring to). Once the system has been installed, you can then login with the username root and the password you set during installation.
I hope this answers your question.

try this...
Reply 5setting the value to false
1. log into the appliance as root, with the password you set during installation.
2. at the prompt, type the following exactly:
I wouldn't install ubuntu-desktop on a server as I already mentioned above. If you insist, you need to update the package cache prior to installing ubuntu-desktop:
Please read this before installing ubuntu-desktop
Refer to the screenshots to see what I am talking about.
