[00:28:11] I'm wondering if I am too late to apply to GSoC/Outreachy at this moment... [00:52:08] adorazhang: I don't think it is, but you probably want to talk to the mentors before applying [00:54:05] Thanks @legoktm! I am trying to set up the environment right now. I might as well talk to the mentor first. Thank you! [03:29:48] What is the preferred method for adding scripts site-wide? [03:39:38] reversalsneezel: I would think it should be done via the skin, or via an extension. [03:40:04] any known stable and secure extensions? [03:41:01] What do you mean by that? [03:43:32] I think Yaron means creating a new extension to put it in [03:44:13] Ah - yes. Now I get it.

I'm trying to install 1.24 fresh and towards the end of installation I get an error ... http://pastebin.com/1GU6e3vM I tried running the sql directly using PhpMyAdmin and it tells me that " #1146 - Table 'wikidb.objectcache' doesn't exist" but this is a create table command? [13:23:19] is it possible to link Special:AllPages -page, in a way that it does not show redirects? [13:23:37] i mean, to add a link directing into the page [13:34:24] vigintix: e.g. Special:AllPages?hideredirects=1 [13:35:34] it works in that way? [13:36:09] MC8: no it doesnt work [13:36:10] No such special page [13:36:11] You have requested an invalid special page. [13:36:16] well, you'd have to use it as an external link, I don't think there's a way to do it using the usual [[]] [13:36:54] [{{fullurl:Special:AllPages|hideredirects=1}} click here] [13:39:59] MC8: thankyou very much [13:45:29] hi everybody! We have some problems with our wiki (an ex-admin changed some files; we don't have any recent backups) and I wanted to do a clean install of a new wiki on the same server, use the same db and just redirect the domain; would that be possible? [13:46:20] or is it dangerous because that new wiki could cause changes to the db? [15:19:54] andre__: Hi! I was wondering, is it possible to add something in Phabricator (like a Herald rule or something) so that a tag is added every time another tag is added? [15:26:27] Ok, I'm about to pull my hair out. I upgraded to 1.24.1 from 1.22.4 and now my wiki will randomly go down and say it can't connect to the database. If I restart the mysql service on the slave mysql server, it fixes. [15:27:22] No error message other than mysql connection failed [15:27:32] WHAT DID I DO TO ANGER THE MEDIAWIKI AND HOW DO I APPEASE IT [15:27:34] I MISS SLEEPING [15:27:47] Ulfr: Have you tried ritual goat sacrifice? [15:28:03] marktraceur: Yes! I even threw in a chicken! [15:28:09] THEN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP THE WIKI WENT DOWN [15:28:13] Hm, that might have been overstimulating. [15:28:29] ... What sort of deity do you people have around here that can get overstimulated [15:29:57] Ulfr: Cat god. [15:30:08] Well, goddess. [15:30:09] marktraceur: You would! [15:30:14] Well, gender-neutral. [15:30:17] Oh god. Female cat god. I'm porting to wordpress [15:31:12] Ulfr: Anyway that's weird, and I feel like someone would have noticed if it were a widely applicable bug. Remind me what platform you're on? [15:31:37] marktraceur: DB are on ubuntu 10.04, Front Ends are on Ubuntu 12.04 w/ apache [15:31:43] DB config: http://pastebin.com/sU3r8fac [15:32:01] Your databases are on a 5-year-old distro of Ubuntu? [15:32:08] DO YOU SEE WHY THE GODS ARE ANGRY [15:32:27] DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I UPGRADED FROM 10.04 to 12.04?! [15:32:28] But no seriously. [15:32:33] I know, I know. [15:32:34] I vaguely remember. [15:32:50] err no, wait. that was 1.19 I think [15:32:51] either way [15:33:02] changing distros in rightscale is a proper pain in the behind [15:33:39] I choose to believe you. [15:33:47] and I have done far less tinkering with the database servers than with the front ends mostly because RAID [15:34:03] Well, I'm out of obvious ideas sadly [15:34:19] You could file a bug under the database project and see what happens [15:34:31] I think springle is the person to bother about databases, but I forget. [15:35:11] I will buy someone pizza if they can help me get this squared away [15:35:26] I legitimately have angry doctors calling me all hours of the day and night whinging about how the website is down [15:38:32] marktraceur: Riddle me this. Do you think enabling database transactions would anger or appease your enraged cat deity [15:42:04] Ulfr: I...suspect it wouldn't hurt [15:42:34] Well I am reassured in that that wasn't a stupid question [15:42:35] :D [15:42:44] Nemo_bis: I am trying to change the committer email address using: git config user.email "your_email@example.com". However, its still the same. Can you tell me what change in settings is required to change this? [15:43:18] ayushimrigen: git config --global user.email "example@example.com" [15:44:04] marktraceur: that wasn't his e-mail. his e-mail was your_email@example.com [15:44:23] * marktraceur hushes Ulfr [15:45:05] * Ulfr starts bouncing off the walls [15:45:14] every time I finally manage to get to sleep [15:45:16] wiki goes down [15:45:33] Let's get you some coffee. [15:45:54] TOO MUCH COFFEE IS THE PROBLEM [15:46:10] :( [15:46:16] Ot [15:46:30] Ulfr: You just restart the database servers? Why not have a second person handle it while you sleep? [15:46:31] I dont even [15:46:44] marktraceur: Tried that. he did it wrong somehow [15:46:55] Can't trust anyone in this world, sigh [15:46:57] started resetting the service on a crontab [15:47:02] DIDNT HELP [15:47:16] well, it did. but the wiki would go down right after the service got restarted [15:47:33] beginning to suspect it's some script kiddy hitting me with a DDoS [15:47:38] but that could be caffiene psycosis [15:48:11] Sorry, bad internet. But When I try to push, it says "committer email address doesnot match your user account.. [15:49:20] How do I edit the navigation section and create new links/pages? Just installed mw1.24 [15:50:41] JuJuBee: jQuery [15:51:19] sorry, second [15:51:27] thought I had an example handy but my wiki crashed again [15:52:18] JuJuBee: www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar [15:52:51] Ulfr: is there a link from special pages? [15:53:01] ayushimrigen_: you will see at the next patch you upload, whether it worked or not [15:53:54] JuJuBee: If you actually read the page it'll tell you everything you'd like to know :) [15:54:10] Ulfr: I got it... thank you. [15:54:18] Not a problem :) [15:54:46] ayushimrigen_: Can you run "git log" and copy/paste the first ten lines or so into a pastebin? [15:54:53] Gorram it. [15:55:23] STANDING OFFER: Pizza to the person who can help me figure out what changed between 1.22.4 and 1.24.1 that could traumatize a mysql slave [15:59:26] Ulfr|Meeting: could you define "traumatize"? [16:00:13] Oh, I guess you covered that earlier. [16:01:24] Ya, vat seems to be ze problem, MediaViki [16:05:31] hi! I'm trying to do vagrant up but it fails due to nfs shares not mounting because of some permission errors [16:05:33] the error https://dpaste.de/09B0 [16:05:48] any help? [16:06:24] codezee: you can disable nfs shares with `vagrant config nfs_shares no` [16:07:18] The likely causes of your trouble are either the vagrant is installed on an encrypted partition or that your host computer is firewalling access to nfs [16:08:00] bd808: will disabling nfs shares have any side effect? [16:08:22] no [16:08:30] native vbox shares are a bit slower but otherwise should work fine [16:08:39] bd808: also, thanks for the suggestion, "vagrant up" now proceeds :) [16:10:21] bd808: strange thing is when my mediawiki vagrant was on root, it worked, but when I shifted it to my home drive, this happened, I guess its got something to do with home partition [16:10:49] Has anyone ever run across a token mismatch between mw.user.tokens.get() and an AJAX query to the API for an edit token? [16:10:56] *nod* I bet your /home is encrypted. The nfs server won't export encrypted drives [16:17:30] guillom: yes, that is possible via Herald [16:17:45] guillom, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T630#1131896 [16:18:34] andre__: Thanks! Should I open a ticket if I want such a rule implemented? [16:18:48] Yaron: The Front ends just say connection to database server was refused or something. It's the page that pops up saying the wiki is having trouble [16:18:55] andre__: In a nutshell, I'd like #notice added every time #roadmap is added [16:19:09] guillom, file a task and I can set it up :) [16:19:22] andre__: Thanks! Will do that now :) [16:22:05] Other piece of troubleshooting info I can glean is that the slave's CPU usage is much much higher than it was on 1.22 [16:23:24] Ulfr: Have you looked at the release notes for 23 and 24? [16:23:43] marktraceur: I'll have to check 1.23 [16:24:35] Ulfr: What version of mysql are you running? [16:25:29] marktraceur: 14.14 Distrib 5.1.41 [16:25:41] Hmm. [16:25:58] Ulfr: Try upgrading that, it should be fine, but you can never be too sure. [16:26:08] I dunno if there is an upgrade available [16:26:25] There probably is, but I am EXTREMELY leary of mucking with them [16:26:35] the whole setup that server uses for storage is intimidating [16:26:57] there's like 4 or 8 drives attached that are configured into a striped/paired logical volume [16:28:47] OK then. [16:28:54] The 1.24 notes said something about enums [16:29:03] But it also said < 5.1 which means you're OK probably [16:29:33] And only when running update [16:29:39] which was already a bear of a task anyway [16:29:56] Well, yes, but update may have just been the thing that people noticed, and there may have been other problems [16:30:13] Only person who really uses console access is me [16:30:19] and I don't run update during the day [16:31:01] No, I mean, for the notes. [16:31:09] Oh, fair. [16:31:26] If $mw_dev noticed the uptick in CPU usage during update.php but not during requests, then they might have left out the latter [16:31:27] I think I might just have to run a profiler and hope it goes down while I'm running it [16:31:40] > hope it goes down [16:31:43] Love this so much [16:31:50] IM A MAN ON THE EDGE [16:31:54] DONT MOCK ME :| [16:32:18] Calmate [16:32:35] I meant that largely in jest [16:33:06] You're always welcome to mock me, just expect counterbattery in hyperbole [16:37:40] marktraceur: Sorry. [16:38:12] 's cool [16:39:23] So I just ran update.php during load for fun [16:39:25] took 7 minutes [17:08:25] Hi! Is the Outreachy chat going on? [17:10:14] Heya! Anyone use the LDAP Authentication extension? [17:17:07] phoenix42: Is that the GSoC one? [17:17:45] Negative24: I believe it's the new name for OPW. [17:17:58] Or...something [17:18:26] marktraceur: Hmm. There is supposed to be a GSoC meeting in #wikimedia-office but nothins happening [17:18:46] Hm. [17:18:52] Negative24: Who's running it? [17:18:56] I am, sire. [17:19:01] It's on the 25th. [17:19:05] Oh [17:19:06] Not today. [17:19:11] I disagree. [17:19:15] It says on the 23rd on wiki [17:19:19] The office hours page says qgil is running a meeting now. [17:19:24] Sorry for the confusion everyone. Which wiki? [17:19:26] Where? [17:19:28] Niharika: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours [17:20:00] The date is 25th [17:20:00] there was some confusion...sorry! [17:20:02] * Niharika checks who updated that [17:21:00] Ah Rachel did. It was changed rather quickly but I guess nobody changed it there. [17:21:24] Ok guess no GSoC updates today [17:23:02] Nope. But do check back day after! [17:23:28] I hope the Flow meeting is still as planned [17:23:58] Niharika: Is it still 17:00 UTC on the 25th? [17:24:06] Negative24: Yes. [17:24:14] Ok [17:51:21] hello; I'd like to have a clean re-install of my wiki — is it possible (and if so: how) to copy the database to re-use it for a new, clean wiki installation? [17:51:57] dbnoob: Take a backup of the database following the instructions on backup. [17:52:49] dbnoob: Then restore it. Read the instructions on moving a mediawiki, what You are doing is essentially moving. [17:54:40] tale: thx for your answer! I did a backup (using phpmyadmin, lackin shell access) but it is too large to import it to a new db :( the only thing I can do is copying it [17:57:40] dbnoob: Uhh, how is it too large to import to a new db? How big is your file [17:58:27] well, that's the weird thing — about 160mb [17:58:48] and what's rejecting the import precisely? phpmyadmin? [18:00:13] yes, phpmyadmin [18:00:21] dbnoob: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Backup_the_content_of_the_wiki_.28XML_dump.29 [18:00:45] Ulfr: thanks, I already dumped my content [18:01:00] dbnoob: Then what's the issue? if you've got the content you should be good to go [18:05:00] Ulfr: Ok, maybe I should give you all my steps: 1) I did an xml dump of all my pages 2) I copied the important lines in my DefaultSettings (extensions etc.) and my extension-folder. 3) I installed a new wiki, using the db copy (let's say db1 is my current one and db2 is a copy) 4) tried to get access to the wiki. path/index.php is not available, path/mw-config/index.php leads me to a re-install that can't be completed due to an err [18:05:36] (Does not function when magic quotes are enabled.) I tried to disable it (following http://php.net/manual/de/security.magicquotes.disabling.php) but that brings up a total fu**up [18:05:41] dbnoob: Did you follow the instructions on moving the wiki? [18:06:24] tale: I did; I felt kinda forced to it because I had so many problems with my wiki (like e.g. the php mailer function stopped working) [18:07:02] aaah, I should add that this also means to update from 1.1.3 to 1.24 [18:07:30] dbnoob: You can not import db from a different version of Mediawiki. [18:07:46] aaaaah; that might be the problem [18:07:54] dbnoob: At least not without large problems and lots of mess. [18:08:09] dbnoob: That info is mentioned in the Manual:Moving_a_wiki [18:08:28] dbnoob: I suspect you have not read that. [18:08:41] my problem is that a former admin changed and deleted several files; we've got no backup and can't update our wiki right now [18:09:03] tale: sorry; I must have read over it :( [18:11:34] dbnoob: Then install that 1.1.3 Mediawiki, import the db there. Then do the upgrade. [18:12:34] tale: omg; thank you very much; I feel like a total idiot right now :( [18:14:58] one last question: is there any official source to the old versions of media wiki? I tried to google it but only stumbled across non-official websites [18:16:05] How can i volunter to a do an Idea from Possible "Project ideas" section in Google Summer of code page? do i comment on Specified task in Phabricator Then do micro task or do micro task first? [18:16:43] Ok so just a quick question, today when trying to start my Apache Web Server using XAMPP, it would not work. It gave me "Syntax error on line 229 of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf: DocumentRoot must be a directory. Any suggestions? [18:17:27] Guest75604: Ensure the directory listed at that line exists? [18:18:15] it does exist, I just made sure of that. I also thought it had something to do with permissions, but that isn't the case either. It worked last night [18:18:39] Guest75604: Maybe there is a syntax error, like it says? [18:19:11] Right, I would say so, but I am not sure why, as I haven't changed anything since it last worked [18:21:34] dbnoob: Perhaps you still have the old mediawiki installation file from way back when it was originally installed? [18:22:42] marktraceur: ... do you think using a legacy version of Vector could cause me all this grief? [18:22:56] tale: unfortunately not; I got asked to join the (study) project a week ago and they started it years ago and didn't think about any backups :( [18:23:06] Ulfr: Possibly...seems unlikely [18:23:08] tale: but I think I found the files; thx a lot! [18:24:18] Curses. I'm gonna need more disk space [18:25:32] i m trying to resubmit a patch which i have modified but when i run git review -R it you are about to submit multiple commits [18:29:36] is it fine that it says you are about to submit multiple commits? [18:30:09] mario__: How did you save your modifications to the patch? [18:31:34] git add git commit --amend git review -R [18:33:52] marktraceur: is it the correct procedure [18:34:00] mario__: OK, try running "git fetch --all" and then do "git review -R" again. [18:37:01] marktraceur:You are about to submit multiple commits. This is expected if you are submitting a commit that is dependent on one or more in-review commits. Otherwise you should consider squashing your changes into one commit before submitting. [18:37:08] Hm. [18:37:11] mario__: What are the commits? [18:39:17] marktraceur: http://pastebin.com/GeSwcg21 [18:41:22] Huh. [18:41:28] Looks like two of the same commit [18:41:50] mario__: Have you ever squashed two commits before? [18:43:31] yes, Previous was single commit and this is also single. i have already submitted a patch and now i want to submit modifcation to the patch. [18:44:08] I see that, yes. [18:44:39] mario__: Run "git rebase -i HEAD~2" and when the editor pops up, squash those two commits together...I believe there are some instructions in the editor for you. [18:57:47] I know this is a stupid question, but when I am trying to run setup.bat for vagrant I got this error...: ==> default: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations...

I'll google how to deal with it then. [19:17:45] Hi, This is a reminder that the Office Hour for Flow, is going to start soon (15 mins) in #wikimedia-office - Thanks [19:35:11] In mobile view(mobile frontend extension) of my wiki, does not display correctly. I used mediawiki:mobile.css to populate my styles. When i load a page, it loads in properly(the edit and photo icons have little locks on them in the upper right) then when the star spinning animation happens, it loses some of my styles [19:35:18] what should i do? [20:23:59] aharoni : LanguageTool is in feature freeze right now. Also they would like to wait for more rules before they merge my pull request. [20:30:42] any clue friends? [20:34:40] Is there a help page somewhere that'll tell me how to transition from one wiki to multiple connected wikis? [20:36:54] Repton: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family [20:40:48] Ohana means family [20:43:21] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91644 - dev php needed #libreidea [20:45:55] ankita-ks: well, that's a start [21:04:40] why doesn't this widget(https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/Widget%3AAmazon) register at all on https://wiki.gamepaduniverse.com/wiki/List_of_Xinput_Devices [21:06:23] \msg marktraceur It seems that I couldn't even get my environment set up before the application deadline... So I guess there's no point asking for a microtask anyways... But thank you very much for your warm help! I'll definitely keep trying even if I can't get paid :P [21:08:44] */msg [21:09:35] XP sorry [21:13:06] helpjeezus: the generated HTML outputs this: helpjeezus: it's not on the current widget, but apparently it was in a previous version... try purging that page [21:14:00] i am trying to create this for my personal wiki [21:39:49] Vulpix: where do you find the generated HTML outputs? [21:40:10] helpjeezus: right click->view HTML source [21:41:07] do we i18n the "Project:" alias of the meta namespace? I can't find the key in en.json [21:43:03] I doubt we do that, since "Project" is supposed to be the canonical namespace name [21:45:35] What's a sane expiration limit (Apache ExpiresByType) for php files and the api (application/json) ? I use 10 minutes and 1 minute atm [22:06:48] Vulpix: I fundamentally dont understand why no additional text appears after amazon.com/ [22:09:05] helpjeezus: "frameborder" is not part of the widget, but it was in previous versions of the widget. Hence *I think* it's displaying outdated content and not the current version of the widget [22:12:00] Vulpix:Wait. So only widgets already on the mediawiki widgets site can be used? Can't i just make this one independently? [22:13:34] of course not. That widget is not on the mediawiki widgets site and it's doing something... the problem is that it's cached and nobody is able to action=purge that page?
