[09:32:18] just a quick question. how can caching for action info be controlled or how is this info being updated e.g. for https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki&action=info [09:41:04] Purge the page? [09:45:37] Reedy Well, yes. Apart from that setting the expiry for exampel is done via $wgParserCacheExpireTime? [09:46:00] Don't know, let me have a look [09:46:20] I guess it won't be, it should be updated on edit/subsequent job queue update [09:46:32] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/actions/InfoAction.php [09:47:01] Object cache stuff [09:49:24] Thanks a ton Reedy! Makes sense to have this in the job queue. I will did a bit into this to get a better understanding. [10:20:15] hey, I'm looking for someone to add my extension to the MediaWiki Packagist [10:20:20] Who do I ask? [13:37:13] how would like to do the same popup as wikipedia/wmf for his donation campaign, how to do? [13:40:48] vev_: WMF is using https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CentralNotice for them [13:41:06] merci MatmaRex [13:41:19] the campaigns (fundraising and otherwise) are defined at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralNotice , i think [13:42:23] if you somehow manage to find the banner you want (i've never been able to navigate that system myself), you'll probably be able to just copy and modify it [13:43:20] ty for all this info [13:43:31] these* [13:44:14] :) [15:08:01] !outreachy [15:08:01] Outreachy 11 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_11 applications are now under review, the list of accepted participants will be announced on November 17th.

List of accepted participants will be announced on Nov 17th. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_11 [15:09:03] Key was added [15:09:38] tuxcraft1r: which windows client? [15:15:07] saper: sorry wrong window :) (openvpn cliet) [15:15:51] tuxcraft1r: haha fine :) [15:18:28] Hi! I just installed media wiki on ubuntu 14.04 manually. When I browse to "http://hostname/mediawiki" I am prompted with the following: "LocalSettings.php not found, please set up the wiki first" [15:20:51] so set up the wiki [15:21:12] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_guide [15:21:34] danny__: there is a link to the installer when you click "set up the wiki first" [15:22:32] saper: It takes me to "http://hostname/mediawiki/mw-config/index.php" w/ a server error (chrome browser) 500? [15:25:15] Oh duh. [15:25:23] I forgot to restart apache after making config changes. [17:35:19] logout [19:13:34] hey, I'm trying to set up a short url on apache but I'm getting confused about what files to edit [19:17:18] !shorturl [19:17:18] To create simple URLs (such as the /wiki/PAGENAME style URLs on Wikimedia sites), follow the instructions at or try the new beta tool at . There are instructions for most different webserver setups. If you have problems getting the rewrite rules to work, see !rewriteproblem [19:17:30] Chiyo: ^ [19:29:45] !rewriteproblem [19:29:45] 1) Try as a fail-safe method; 2) Do not put the files into the document root; 3) Do not map the pages into the document root (see !nullpath); 4) Use different, non-overlapping paths for real files and virtual pages; 5) Do not set a RewriteBase; 6) Put all rules into the .htaccess file in the document root. See also !shorturls [19:31:47] thats the page I'm on now and I'm still as confused [19:33:40] which file does this need to go in: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache#Setting_up_the_rewrite_rules [19:50:55] yea, i've done something wrong because it says that the main page is a 404 [19:55:23] Chiyo: i would say it should go into a file similar to /etc/apache2/sites-available/wiki.yourserver.org [19:55:36] but that also depends on your distro maybe [19:56:05] do you have /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ? [19:57:01] yea, but VirtualHost are in sites-enabled [19:57:47] Chiyo: yea, so you put the "RewriteEngine" stuff into a VirtualHost [19:58:05] inside the VirtualHost section for your wiki [19:58:17] however apache throws errors when I restart it [19:58:59] you should pastebin the error and the config [20:03:12] mutante - http://pastebin.com/uvyCsHGi [20:04:46] maybe you don't have mod_rewrite installed in apache? [20:06:45] Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', [20:06:55] ah, that looks like it [20:06:55] Chiyo: what Vulpix said, you need to load the Apache module "rewrite" [20:07:09] go to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ [20:07:17] could have sworn I did it earlier [20:07:40] and make a symlink to ../mods-available/rewrite.load [20:17:33] Hello, i recently attempted to update from 1.17.1 to 1.25 and extracted the mw folder into my root overtop the existing files. I removed the old skin .php files from the skins directory and turned on error reporting [20:17:47] However it errors out providing the following: A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. [20:18:41] I see references in the upgrade documentation to an update script [20:18:54] however not sure the path to that update script in question to run from CLI [20:19:38] !upgrade [20:19:38] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading [20:19:53] kevindank: that's inside the maintenance folder [20:20:15] usually "php maintenance/update.php" [20:20:46] Thanks Vulpix: [20:51:28] That resolved my issue [21:00:51] good :) [21:38:54] So my load.php with the styles for my media wiki displays "Internal error" where can I check for this errors? i don't see anything in my apache logs [21:39:23] that's strange, it should be in apache's error_log [21:40:00] I think sometimes that can be an exception [21:40:14] allejo: Put $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php [21:42:06] At least, we use Internal Error for the page title [21:43:14] Ah, I assumed this was a standard "internal error" from apache [21:44:05] Vulpix: Well, there's a good chance you're right. Hard to tell without actually seeing what allejo is seeing :) [21:45:33] yeah, I'm not sure if MediaWiki has a nice error page for such failures [21:45:56] well, an error page can't be nice anyway :P [21:45:59] ohhh I see errors now, Less_Exception_Chunk [21:46:38] so it's the theme's less. now let me hunt this down [21:49:47] allejo: check if you temporary directories are configured properly [22:03:24] hmm this is what I'm seeing: http://csunas.org/wiki/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=mediawiki.legacy.commonPrint%2Cshared%7Cmediawiki.sectionAnchor%7Cmediawiki.skinning.interface%7Cmediawiki.ui.button%7Cskins.vector.styles&only=styles&skin=vector&* [22:04:29] that's a pretty neat error message btw [22:05:03] allejo: How did you install mediawiki? If you did it from git, make sure that the composer is up to date, and vector submodule is up to date [22:07:07] yea, I installed from git, using the 1.25.3 tag. just ran a composer update and install. does vector have any submodules? I just cloned that from git as well [22:10:05] http://csunas.org/wiki/Main_Page works4me nicely [22:10:23] woah [22:10:58] it actually works! wonder where those errors are coming from though [22:11:24] I get none [22:12:02] oh... I guess the old URL was being weird :x [22:12:35] thanks bawolff, Vulpix, and saper! appreciate the help :D [22:13:12] glad to help
