[00:01:13] kivi: just because you can't access the DB doesn't mean it's not there. [00:01:33] If you have access to cPanel or something like that, you should check there. [00:01:38] Yaron, zoom in, enhance [00:02:32] Yaron, whats the url for the cpanel? I can't access the api, import, or home page. [00:04:23] kivi: it's not part of MediaWiki; it's part of the general installation on most web servers. [00:04:31] Is this a web server that you run? [00:04:42] Yaron, its local on my machine. [00:04:57] Ah. [00:05:14] Could it be that MySQL (assuming you're using MySQL) is just not running? [00:06:05] Yaron, I honestly think I deleted it, thinking it belonged to thunderbird [00:06:26] I was having space issues on my ssd, and... yeah [00:06:36] Ah, okay. [00:07:04] i could have sworn it was in thunderbird. Either that, or my update to 16.04 is what broke it. [00:10:25] 16.04 is out? [00:14:32] mnathani, ubuntu, and friday I think [00:14:52] i'm always running beta though so... it updates fairly frequently [00:15:55] any idea how I can get my signature shortcut on the edit toolbar back? [00:19:54] mnathani: On a specific namespace? [00:20:13] There's some silly configuration variable in DefaultSettings.php that you can override by editing LocalSettings.php. [00:20:25] If you want a signature button in the main (unprefixed) namespace. [00:20:59] !wg ExtraSignatureNamespaces [00:20:59] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgExtraSignatureNamespaces [00:27:24] Leah: perfect, its back now [00:27:28] thank you [05:16:11] hallo, I have a mediawiki install, version 1.15.5 I wish to migrate this to a mediawiki 1.26 install on a new server, can someone point me in the right direction? [06:00:46] Heh...delighted with myself....imported the db...ran the update script...imported the xml...ran the rebuildrecentchanges script...and presto...it all seems to be there..just need to sort out images [09:23:32] monkeynuts: Awesome! [13:06:36] Hello, I have two wikis installed on the same server. I want to replace the wiki in the the main root directory with the wiki which is in a subdirectory /2016) [13:07:09] Is it as easy as moving the files out of the root directory currently and copy/pasting the sub directory files into the root? [13:07:17] then update the localsettings.php file with the right path [13:07:32] or do i need to modify anything in phpmyadmin [13:11:51] kevindank: you might need to update wgScriptPath and wgArticlePath in LocalSettings.php. apart from that, it should be as simple as you say [13:13:22] great thank you [13:31:16] Oh, you're back! [13:31:39] We try not to store any path information in the database. [13:32:00] MediaWiki uses the variables MatmaRex mentioned to generate URLs in its HTML output. [13:33:33] Awesome thanks for the info [13:33:53] !movewiki [13:33:53] For help about moving pages, see . For help about moving wikis, see . [13:33:54] !shorturl [13:33:54] 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 [13:33:58] Might be vaguely helpful. [13:34:43] Yeah my plan is to clear out the root directory, then copy the contents of the subdirectory to the root directory and adjust localsettings accordingly [13:35:19] im used to developing on wordpress and when moving sites sometimes you need to modify the db to point to the new url [13:35:28] wasnt sure if any of that was necessary in mw [13:41:12] morning [13:43:53] Yeah, WordPress... :-) [13:44:11] MediaWiki has plenty to learn from them, but WordPress could also learn plenty from MediaWiki. [14:15:06] So heres my thought. I have a folder called htdocs which is where my current mw is installed in the root. Inside that htdocs folder is a subfolder /2016 so htdocs/2016...im planning on copying the 2016 folder into the same parent directory as htdocs, renaming current htdocs to oldhtdocs and 2016 to htdocs [14:15:35] that way should i run into issues im assuming i can just renaming oldhtdocs back to htdocs [14:27:57] hello [17:08:14] hi [17:08:19] Hi. [17:10:11] is there a wrong information about me on Wikipedia. How do the charm? Info? [17:12:16] ERKUT: Which page? [17:14:07] ERKUT: you probably should ask that on #wikipedia [18:27:26] I need help in fixing a script, that get statistics of sysops in specific wiki. [18:27:59] The problem is that not every sysop's names are shown. [18:28:32] This is the script. https://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%AF%D9%85:Elph/adminstat&oldid=19414118 [18:29:21] for example, In arabic wikipedia there are 35 sysops, but the results show only 34. [18:29:37] Any suggestions? [18:31:00] Has every sysop made a log action? [18:32:29] Yes [18:34:57] There are no errors in the sql query. also, there are no errors in retrieving data, and print it in the page. [18:35:28] Is the name of the database is the problem? [18:35:52] Because this script was written to run in toolserver. [18:41:49] ASammour: do you know who is missing? Is there something unique about that user? [18:45:39] Yaron: No, another sysop, who has been resigned was also not appear in the list. [18:46:25] There are one thing that match between them, that they have the sysop rights in the same day!. [18:58:56] Any help?. [21:44:39] hi, Fatal error: Call to undefined function pcntl_wifsignaled() in /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/LuaStandaloneEngine.php on line 645 -- what does it mean? [22:30:51] auvajs, you need the pcntl PHP extension
