[02:47:17] Is there an issue with mediawiki and submitting links in pages? I'm havinrg an issue where some links are causing me to be redirected back to the main page when I try to edit or create pages that contain those links. [02:48:11] B0073D: what kind of links? internal or external? [02:48:20] External. [02:48:29] B0073D: also, is your wiki publicly viewable on the internet? if so, what's its URL? [02:48:38] gshars.com [02:48:57] In particular http://gshars.com/Resources [02:49:12] What is there now works. But as soon as i add another section it dies. [02:49:19] Ever on a differently named page [02:49:29] I can pastebin the content? [02:49:37] can you add the other section now so i can see what happens? [02:50:40] Nothing. It doesn't submit. [02:50:46] hmm [02:50:50] pastebin it then, i guess [02:50:58] Instead of the content beingsubmitted I get redirected to the main page [02:51:02] http://pastebin.com/RDW0aPKe [02:51:12] also, i notice that you're using a url style that isn't recommended, which might be related. see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL for more info about that [02:51:38] there's nothing in that content that should make it do that [02:52:28] Mmm. It's very strange [02:52:34] I'll have a look at that URL thing. [02:52:37] That might be it. [02:53:46] jackmcbarn: Are you refering to the fact that the wiki is inthe root? [02:54:01] B0073D: yes [02:55:43] Can that me migrated easily or would I have to start again? [02:56:24] B0073D: you just have to change the mediawiki config file and the apache config, but note that it will break any incoming links [02:56:34] but your wiki is brand new, so that shouldn't be a problem for you [02:58:32] Yeah thats fine. [02:58:57] I don't have acces to the apache configs is all as this is a webhost but I will have alook and see what I can do [02:59:10] thanks for your help jackmcbarn very much appreciated. [02:59:14] np [03:00:45] Hmmm that hasn't fixed it either. [03:00:47] Interesting. [03:02:00] B0073D: can you pastebin your .htaccess? [03:03:26] http://pastebin.com/1u80Ea1U [03:06:27] Getting some php errors. There might be a deeper issue here... [03:06:54] B0073D: where did you extract the tarball to? [03:06:58] to the root or to /w? [03:07:06] This was an install from cpanel. [03:07:10] root [03:07:56] okay, there's a 99% chance that cpanel screwed something up [03:08:30] can you pastebin your whole LocalSettings.php (redact private things like passwords)? [03:08:41] Getting a few memcache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [03:11:52] jackmcbarn: http://pastebin.com/mzRkpkwx [03:12:49] B0073D: okay, 3 steps to fix the problem: [03:13:05] first, create a directory called "w" in the document root, and move all of mediawiki's stuff into there [03:13:40] second, in LocalSettings.php, change $wgScriptPath to "/w" and $wgArticlePath to "/wiki/$1" [03:14:04] third, in the document root, create the following as .htaccess (and delete the one you showed me earlier:) http://pastebin.com/27qE5Tys [03:14:14] then it (hopefully) will work [03:19:55] Getting a 404 now. Working through it. [03:20:20] did you delete the old .htaccess? [03:20:28] Modified it. [03:20:41] As in replaced it with your. [03:20:57] so the document root contains mine, and there is none in /w? [03:21:22] and the document root is empty except for w and .htaccess? [03:21:28] 404 on http://gshars.com/w/wiki/Main_Page [03:21:36] cgi-bin is also there [03:22:30] can you re-pastebin LocalSettings.php so i can make sure those changes are right? [03:22:41] (the problem isn't the 404 itself, the problem is it's sending you to the wrong url now) [03:24:34] i got the api to work. the problem is $wgArticlePath in LocalSettings.php [03:24:54] take off $wgScriptPath. [03:25:11] it should just be $wgArticlePath = '/wiki/$1'; [03:26:00] jackmcbarn: http://pastebin.com/bSbCuDaZ [03:26:40] Ah right. [03:26:43] Copy that. [03:27:36] Ok great [03:27:40] That's working now. [03:27:57] B0073D: does the thing that redirected you before work now too? [03:29:12] No now I'm getting a 'Forbidden' [03:29:20] Just checking the .htaccess again [03:29:56] what's the url of the page you're on when you get the forbidden? [03:31:19] http://gshars.com/w/index.php?title=Resources&action=submit [03:31:28] But it only does it with that additional content now. [03:31:37] So if I change something else it works. [03:31:44] do you see anything in the apache logs about it? [03:31:55] wait, i think i might know it [03:32:06] does your server allow outbound connections? [03:32:25] Ahhh good question. Interesting. [03:32:32] Possibly not. [03:32:54] Though the circumstances are still strange. [03:32:54] what about apache logs? [03:33:30] Trying to locate them. This webhosting business is a pain. Was nice to know where the logs where... [03:36:13] Actually It might be an issue with the number of links on a page. [03:36:50] i don't see how that would be possible [03:37:42] I've just done it. [03:37:49] done what? [03:38:00] Created a brand new page. [03:38:10] Added one link at a time till it failed. [03:38:18] In this case i used various google domain [03:38:27] Failed at number 4 [03:38:49] what happens if you preview? does it work or fail then? [03:38:58] So perhaps something is limiting the number of concurrent outgoing connections to 3? [03:39:04] Preview and submit both do the same [03:39:17] it doesn't make an outgoing connection for each link [03:39:28] i think it makes one for the whole request to meta to get a blacklist [03:39:37] do you even have spamblacklist installed? [03:40:02] and did you have any luck finding the logs? [03:41:09] New to mediawiki so I'm not sure where to check for that ext. Looking. [03:41:30] Theresa spamblacklist folder in the extensions folder. [03:53:27] jackmcbarn: I have to talk to one of the other peeps to get access to the logs. Thanks for all your help. [03:54:32] B0073D: np [03:58:20] jackmcbarn: THink I found something http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Edits_to_not_take_effect_-_page_reverts_immediately_to_unedited_version [03:58:51] 'This is often caused by Apache's mod_security that restricts the addition of more than 3 links on a page (probably to stop spammers).' [04:05:34] B0073D: mod_security looks like it's nothing but trouble [04:05:57] unless you actually want it for some reason, just drop "SecRuleEngine Off" at the end of .htaccess to turn it off [04:06:03] Yeah I'm going through the configs for it at the moment. I'd rather not turn it off if I can. But it's looking better and better [04:06:06] Yeah [04:06:39] if you didn't know mod_security existed until just now, you probably don't want it, because i guarantee at some point in the future one of its other rules will cause some other strange problem [04:13:45] Mmm. This isn't my webserver. It's a cpanel jobby so who knows what's under the hood... [04:34:26] hi, good morning. any body knows how can i change the fonts of notes in midia wiki?? [04:45:52] does any body knows the answer of my question? [05:03:01] what notes [05:16:18] please asnwer me [05:16:41] Could you be more specific? [05:21:00] : what? [05:21:54] What exactly are you trying to accomplish. [05:24:54] : i want to chnage the fonts of my notes in my wiki [05:24:57] how can i do that? [05:25:19] You would most likely have to change the skin. [05:25:35] Do you know css at all? [05:25:52] no change the skin, just change the font of my writting [05:25:54] no [05:25:59] i do not know it [05:26:04] could you help me? [05:26:45] It's not a simplething. [05:26:56] do you want to change it when you're reading or when you're writing [05:27:19] when i am writting, for example the font change to times new romans [05:27:36] I think that's your browser [05:28:08] thanks again jackmcbarn [05:30:33] i do not think, we can not chnage the fonts of notes i am writtting in my wiki?? [05:31:53] can you tell us the page [05:32:31] You can do it what a change to [[Mediawiki:Common.css]] [05:43:07] sprry disconnect [05:43:19] understand? [05:50:08] i want to change the fonts of my writing in my wiki [05:50:11] can i do that? [05:53:50] please help [05:59:09] Hi! [05:59:23] I was here yesterday asking about FTP [05:59:35] Me and a friend have a Mona the Vampire Wiki [06:00:07] And he and I want interwikis. [06:00:09] Let me explain. [06:00:20] So you know how on Wiktionary. [06:00:31] There is a sidebar on articles [06:00:48] Listing the same article in other languages. [06:01:23] And they show up on the sidebar if you say [[fr:article]] , [[da:article]], etc. [06:01:45] And for the other language wikis [06:01:49] They have sub-domains. [06:01:55] Such as fr.wiktionary.org [06:01:58] da.wiktionary.org [06:01:59] etc. [06:02:06] I need to set this up. [06:02:13] I want the system to be just like this. [06:02:19] We need a French, Danish wiki. [06:02:26] French and Danish wiki* [06:02:44] And we need "en.monathevampirewiki.org" to redirect to "monathevampirewiki.org" [06:02:53] Could someone please tell us how to do this? [06:14:16] Hi Mona. [06:14:18] !wikifarm [06:14:19] To run multiple wikis, you can simply install MediaWiki in different folders, with different databases or in one with database prefixes. You can also have multiple wikis using a single installation: If you run a farm or want to, join the mailing list: [06:21:47] how could i chnage the fonts of my wiki?? [06:28:24] Hi karami. [06:28:31] You can use site-wide CSS to do that. [06:28:32] !css [06:28:32] To change styles for your wiki, go to one of the MediaWiki:xxx.css wiki page (NOT a file) and put your custom styles there (sysop/admin rights required). MediaWiki:Common.css is for all skins and should be used for content styles. MediaWiki:Vector.css is for the Vector skin (default), etc. For more information, see !skins and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/CSS [06:31:02] how? [06:34:47] karami: You'll need to look up "CSS". [06:34:58] But you can edit the page "MediaWiki:Common.css" and apply site-wide CSS there. [06:35:04] Which can change the styling of your site. [06:35:14] Font weight, font color, font size, etc. can all be controlled with CSS. [06:36:18] are you in here? [07:09:42] i have checked my vestor.css i do nto have any font-family [07:13:10] It's Vector.css and you need to add a font-family. [07:13:14] The on-wiki pages are overrides. [07:14:28] how could i add? [07:14:55] html, body { font-family: "Nimbus Sans L", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } [07:15:02] like this? [07:15:09] i should add like this? [07:16:32] You can. [07:16:43] But that only works if you have those fonts installed on your local computer. [07:16:53] yes, i have them [07:16:57] Okay. [07:17:01] Then that CSS should work. [07:59:34] it show error [07:59:43] i pasted that line to vector.css [07:59:47] but it show error [08:01:50] syntax error [08:04:22] please answr me [08:12:39] hat do you mean by it shows a error? [08:14:24] please asnwer [08:22:00] where are you.?? [08:29:02] please asnwer me [08:34:59] why does Apibase::extractrequestparameters return different results for different classes ? [09:28:51] Any idea if I’m “safe” using API action=watch on a page that I already watch? Could that, for instance, mark the unvisited revisions of that page as visited? [09:43:54] Apparently not. [09:59:46] hello [10:01:39] how can inport data (only the content and text) from old mediawiki version to new mediawiki vision ? [10:04:32] picky: yes, it should always work [10:04:55] Lets say I have a form and the input for creating a page with it is >>>>>>>> {{#forminput:form=add_user|query string=namespace=User}} [10:05:01] nemo how make I this ? [10:05:07] But be sure to verify that it actually does, and if it doesn't please file a bug (you can also attach the XML file) [10:05:09] This creates a page within namesapce User:TITLE [10:05:20] how can I change that so that when I add a page [10:05:23] picky: if the wiki is small, just SPecial:Export on old wiki and Special:Import on the new one [10:05:32] it goes under Users/TITLE [10:05:44] mynameis: you have better chances on #semantic-mediawiki channel [10:06:39] picky: if you have a database rather than the XML, you should probably install that old release of MediaWiki, verify it's ok, then upgrade the code and run update.php? [10:07:06] (For important things we always use the XML because it's more stable and reliable,.) [10:10:03] it´s posible only page for pages export then in new import ? 3 [10:25:31] why no body can answer me?? [10:29:01] no body???? [10:30:37] i use this codes: [10:30:39] body { font-family: "Nimbus Sans L", "Helvetica Neue", BNazanin, Helvetica, sans-serif; }; [10:30:44] but it show errors [10:38:27] no body??????? [10:38:30] please asnwer meeee [10:38:32] please [10:42:31] please asnswer me [10:42:33] please [10:48:47] karami: what was your question again?

[11:22:21] i am so in force [11:27:53] please help me [11:28:47] karami: I already said you yesterday that this is a complex thing to explain to somebody that doesn't know CSS [11:29:16] just tell me, i will folow [11:29:27] i will try to learn and do it sync [11:29:34] !lmgtfy change font CSS | karami [11:29:34] karami: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=change+font+CSS+ [11:29:54] here you have a good start :) [11:31:19] Ok, let me verify the links [11:31:25] can i ask another question also [11:31:26] ? [11:31:44] karami: once you know how to change font, then you can apply the CSS rules to your wiki as explained here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/CSS [11:31:53] yes, you can ask more questions!

I assume you mean [[MediaWiki:Vector.css]] or [[Special:MyPage/vector.css]]. Otherwise, never edit core files! [11:42:39] i use mediawiki [11:45:32] If you edit [[Special:MyPage/vector.css]], when you hit preview you can preview your own changes without disrupting other users, and bypassing cache [11:49:43] the pic is ok now [11:49:51] i just have problem with fonts [11:52:10] what is my page???

[11:59:27] that's your *personal* vector.css page, you can put the CSS code there and when you preview your changes, you can see them applied in your wiki [12:00:08] use that page for testing until you get it working, and then you can put that code in MediaWiki:Vector.css [12:00:32] you mean that code? [12:00:33] p { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; } [12:00:34] ? [12:00:35] yes?
