Thanks to the upnp2mrtpg script I'm now monitoring my Fritzbox.

Also, I upgrade from mediawiki 1.11 to 1.14, and as usual, everything went smooth. It took 5 minutes including download, mysql update and first test. As I don't have any special adaptation (compared to other people I know) I had nothing to patch. I just checked that https is still working (was, because it's apache configuration and has nothing to do with mediawiki).
Finally I installed few more plugins I got used to: fckeditor, syntax highlighter. Still have to test file indexer.

16.4.07 06:50 Mediawiki: reset user password ( , , , )

I forgot my mediawiki password again, so I document here how to reset it.
  1. login to mysql database
  2. UPDATE wikiuser
    SET user_password = md5(CONCAT('your_user_id-',md5('new_password')))
    WHERE user_id=your_user_id;
Remark: your_user_id is the id of your user in wikiuser table. First a md5 digest of the new_password is build, then the user_id and "-" are added before it, and the whole is md5 again.
