[14:03:02] Hopefully one of the last major issues: Since upgrading to 1.39, it appears that the image directory can't be found anymore? All thumbnail images state 'Error creating thumbnail: File missing', but the files do exist and the directories are readable.. [14:15:35] Sure the path is right? [14:15:51] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUploadPath etc [14:16:10] It's probably pathing, file/dir mask, or ownership user/group [14:16:13] Or some mix of the above [14:24:09] $wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory are the same as the ones before. I ended up regenerating a new LocalSettings.php for 1.39 and migrating the missing components (the two mentioned here were missing from the default LocalSettings.php, oddly) [14:29:43] Well, MW will default them to other values, not set in LocalSettings.php [14:30:06] So they don't necessarily need to be explictily defined, and having them set to a "default" that is correct at one point, may result in them being incorrect at another [14:32:24] as per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUploadPath [14:32:28] Default value: "{$wgScriptPath}/images" (1.8+) [14:32:28] "{$wgScriptPath}/upload" (pre-1.1 - 1.7) [14:33:51] yep: $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images"; [15:54:53] Hmm even if I set the directories to 777 I still get "Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination" [15:55:06] debug log shows nothing remarkable [15:55:53] do you have a thumbs dir in your images dir? [15:55:57] images/upload/whatever [15:56:52] Yes, and there are files already in there (from migrating from the previous installation) [16:05:59] did you set the directory mode 777 *recursively*? Try this command (set your upload directory): find /path/to/images -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; [16:17:10] Yes, all items inside are also 777 (I ran a chmod 777 -r path/) [16:42:11] note that setting 777 perms on files (and not only folders) may be risky, since the server may interpret it needs to execute those files on access. That's why you should use the find command to change only permissions for folders [16:42:52] Besides that, you may try to enable the debug file to see if it writes there the full path it's trying to access [16:43:37] I hate when messages hide critical information to debug the problem [16:49:49] Ah found a clue, I ran run.php checkImages.php and it says all the images are missing, but I can clearly list all of the files in the images/ directory: Good images: 0/921 [16:52:27] and this error on my Main site page now: [ca6b4e46341352f758d66e29] /index.php/Main_Page RuntimeException: Could not open '/images/tmp/mw-GlobalIdGenerator33-UUID-128'. [16:52:28] Warning: fopen(/images/tmp/mw-GlobalIdGenerator33-UUID-128): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/includes/libs/uuid/GlobalIdGenerator.php on line 451 [16:52:55] This is on mediawiki 1.44 [16:53:30] Is your images directory really on the root of the *filesystem*? [16:55:37] It's in /var/www/html/images [16:55:59] So there may be a parent path issue here? [16:56:51] I followed this docker compose example https://hub.docker.com/_/mediawiki#-via-docker-compose [18:12:23] Does anyone know if for the Growth feature, that the "Post your question to the Community Help Desk" exists anymore? [18:23:55] din0: your $wgUploadDirectory should be '/var/www/html/images' and not '/images' [18:24:14] HelpdeskQuestionPoster still exists [18:35:01] Hi guys [18:35:22] I have been here with my ZNC for nearly 4 years [18:35:32] But never talked [18:36:27] I just wanted to say how much I love your work guys [18:37:29] But.. I really want mediawiki get back to the good old days, or at least making an option for that [18:45:42] what makes the current days different? [18:49:13] That simple and beautiful wiki software; No JS, nor tons of CSS. Just you and the content.. I posted that bec. I see project is going behind "THE NEW STANDARDS", and I feel bad for that. [18:49:47] andre_: https://wiki.shadow.lifestyle/img/browsers/toomuchjavascript.jpg [18:50:15] LOL [18:50:21] ? [18:51:06] well you could also argue that you miss the times of animated GIFs and MySpace then :P [18:52:26] Maybe XD [18:52:55] I just loved mediawiki for it's clean interface [18:54:26] Thats just my opinion.. [19:18:42] php maintenance/run.php checkImages still says all images are missing, even though I set the $wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory to an absolute path [20:12:16] mosaid: well, looks-wise, there *are* options (I maintain some of 'em ;-) like [[mw:Skin:GuMaxDD]], [[mw:Skin:Nimbus]], etc.) -- but yes, the JS bloat is very much real, certainly; and things get more and more complex with every major release and a lot of stuff is intentionally broken for no real reason (would be super neat to *not* have to look up a whole bunch of things and to keep the easy-to-remember-and-use function names around, but things are what [20:12:16] they are, eh) [23:42:57] mosaid you could always check out https://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePage
