The MediaWiki-extensions SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi is not running correctly in some cases of setups. This document will show you how to configure your system environment that you can use the extension.

  • Please, read this manual completely and work through the single installation steps one after another.
  • For editing the configuration files with a text editor, the files must be saved in UTF-8 coding without BOM (Byte Order Mark).
  • The placeholder <installpath-bluespice> stands for the path to your BlueSpice installation, e.g C:\inetpub\wwwroot\bluespice (Windows) or /var/www/bluespice (Linux).

SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi and Linux

If you are using Linux as BlueSpice server it's enough make two files executable (chmod 755):

<installpath-bluespice>/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/pygments/create_pygmentize_bundle
<installpath-bluespice>/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/pygments/pygmentize

For more information please refer to the article "File System Permissions".

SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi and Windows

First, please install latest version of Python 2.7.x. It is recommended to use the standard installation path (C:\Python27).

After that please open your windows command line and change to the subfolder "Scripts" in the Python installation path. Install the needed package "pygments" by using this command:

pip.exe install pygments

Now tell your BlueSpice installation where the pygmentize.exe can be found by setup this variable in your LocalSettings.php:

$wgPygmentizePath = "c:\\Python27\\Scripts\\pygmentize.exe";

At the end please take care that the temporary directory of your PHP installation (default: C:\Windows\Temp) is fully writable by your webserver.

With these steps your should have a working system setup to use the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi without problem.
