[01:24:51] Hi [01:25:04] i just follow the install tutorial [01:25:10] and i know i have just a small problem [01:25:16] but dont know how to fix [01:25:26] http://192.168.1.166/mediawiki [01:25:35] 404 - Not Found [01:25:55] i edit the /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf for the alias mediawiki to work [01:35:25] MarioWhite: have you restarted/reloaded apache after the config change? [01:38:00] i have restart the machine [01:39:40] fair enough :) [01:42:57] MarioWhite: are you sure apache is reading /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf ? apache config files are usually in /etc/apache2/conf or similar [01:44:19] maybe that's an example file whose contents should be placed in the apache conf [01:45:26] all lock ok [01:46:00] i have the /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf and /etc/apach2/conf-available/mediawiki.conf all ok [01:48:18] well, you can try to introduce a syntax error on that file to be completely sure it's being read. It should cause an error when you restart apache/test configuration [01:49:17] note though that unless they're symlinked (that is, the conf-available/mediawiki.conf is a symlink to /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf), it won't be reading the /etc/mediawiki configuration file [01:51:38] well, also, active config files are usually symlinked in conf-enabled, conf-available has all of them but not all are enabled [01:52:11] i just have [01:52:25] conf-available and mods-available [01:53:45] is it debian? [01:53:52] raspbian [01:54:47] base on debian, yeap [01:58:51] there should be a conf-enabled, then [04:22:04] Hello everyone [04:22:24] I have problem while migrating my mediawiki because the table _text is too big, 25GB [04:22:53] I'm looking for someone who can really move the database to our new hosting [04:23:12] it's ok even it's a paid service [04:32:25] Thats a lot of data, most likely have to hire someone for that [05:05:58] yes Im looking for someone who can be hired [05:26:24] @JeroenDeDauw [11:08:13] can anyone here tell me how to contribute to the media wiki open source [11:19:30] !hack | bhartendu [11:19:30] bhartendu: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Do_not_hack_MediaWiki_core [11:19:40] !contribute | bhartendu [11:19:40] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !patch, !visualeditor, [11:19:47] hang on [11:20:32] bhartendu: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker [11:21:04] !contribute is For information on how to contribute towards the MediaWiki project, check out [11:21:04] You are not authorized to perform this, sorry [11:21:26] ugh [11:21:41] !p858snake I have setup gerrit [11:21:53] now looking forward to find a bug and contribute [12:25:27] !contribute [12:25:27] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !patch, !visualeditor, [12:25:38] !contribute is For information on how to contribute towards the MediaWiki project, check out [12:25:39] Key was added [12:25:48] !contribute | p858snake|L_ [12:25:48] p858snake|L_: For information on how to contribute towards the MediaWiki project, check out [12:30:56] Where does those suggestions come from?

[12:58:46] !botbrain [12:58:46] Hello, I'm wm-bot. The database for this channel is published at http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/db/%23mediawiki.htm More about WM-Bot: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/wm-bot [13:07:51] morning [13:11:23] Morning. [13:13:20] morning Debra [14:29:46] hello all, i have a little issue [14:30:01] "too many login attempts, please wait 5 minutes" but the 5 minutes never seems to time out [15:14:50] Hi. I am working on a forked version of the Vector theme... I would like to rename the theme. How to do that? [15:49:27] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UrlShortener/blob/master/UrlShortener.hooks.php#L18 could someone explain what this does? [15:50:07] SPF|Cloud: Defines a function [15:50:22] oh, heh wrong line :-) [15:50:35] I meant 22-24, the router thing [15:50:38] hi [15:51:20] has anyone ever had the issue where "too many login attempts. wait 5 mins" never times out? [15:52:09] SPF|Cloud: It's for query parameter extraction [15:52:12] https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/PathRouter.php [15:52:25] It is causing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132454 [15:53:12] does https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit work for anyone with 1.26? (getting an error: 'PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to SimpleCaptcha::getForm() must be an instance of OutputPage, none given,...') [15:53:45] Per https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132454#2213091 that should be a bug in OAuth, but I'm not sure if there could be a bug in PathRouter too. If I comment 22-24 out (so removing the PathRouter thing) then the OAuth bug is solved. [15:55:16] Bombo: could you paste the full error line? [15:55:33] Hi. I am working on a forked version of the Vector theme... I would like to rename the theme. How to do that? [15:55:46] I run ConfirmEdit (ReCaptchaNoCaptcha) on 1.26, and it works fine [15:59:59] ', called in .../extensions/ConfirmAccount/frontend/specialpages/actions/RequestAccount_body.php on line 231 and defined in .../extensions/ConfirmEdit/SimpleCaptcha/Captcha.php on line 42, referer: http://en.trippypedia.de/wiki/Special:Speci [16:00:10] alPages [16:00:13] ;) [16:01:39] (i deactivated it right now) [16:07:26] Bombo: I assume you have full edit access? [16:07:56] has anyone ever had the issue where "too many login attempts. wait 5 mins" never times out? [16:08:11] I don't [16:08:58] Anyway Bombo, can you go to ./extensions/ConfirmAccount/frontend/specialpages/actions/RequestAccount_body.php line 231, replace "$captcha->getForm()" with "$captcha->getForm( $this->getOutput() );" and try again (to see if it works now) [16:18:19] SPF|Cloud: indeed that worked, thank! :-) [16:18:33] Cool! I'll submit a patch upstream [16:26:29] Debra: The bot brain must be biased towards VE then. [16:41:38] 'A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.' hmmkay [16:42:34] Bombo: where [16:43:00] Nikerabbit: RequestAccount, after submit [16:43:20] Bombo: on your own wiki? [16:43:54] Nikerabbit: yep [16:45:10] (mw 1.2.6 ConfirmAccount git-today) [16:45:12] Bombo: make sure you have run php maintenance/update.php, if that does not help, there is a setting to show the query error details [16:45:24] I hope you mean 1.26 [16:45:28] 1.2.6 no way it will work [16:45:29] yes [16:45:30] ;) [16:45:36] 1.26 sorry [16:45:58] yes i upgraded to 1.26 and did run maintenance/update.php [16:46:48] is it safe to run it twice? [16:47:09] yes [16:48:00] you can set $wgShowSQLErrors = true; in your LocalSettings and try again [16:51:23] oh that maintenance/update.php did it... i'm pretty sure i did that before... but on the other hand... it's 30°C here ;) [16:51:40] thx Nikerabbit [16:52:31] Bombo: you have it easy then! [16:52:58] easy fix yes, thx ;) [16:53:25] I meant the temperature but yeah [16:54:47] my brain doesn't work well at that temp [16:56:43] 'Exception encountered, of type "Exception"' [16:56:44] crap [16:57:38] ok that was FancyCaptcha [17:03:20] hi there. im having a little challenge. we use mediawiki as a platform by-students-for-students to host information and course resources at university. some resources are links to external websites. One of them a vbulletin board seems to be disappearing soon, but they have many valuable resources. how would *you* backup their content? (we are 2 distinct administrative domains, but im not talking [17:03:26] about copyright, but a technical question. like wget relevant threads, screenshot relevant threads, ...?) [17:04:34] also: it could happen, that old threads get revived again and the "backup" has to be able to be regenerated somehow. [17:06:07] my current worst-case solution would be to replace all their external links with archive.org links. but that seems sub-optimal. [17:07:39] *all our external links linking to them [18:29:11] SPF|Cloud: I commented. [18:29:53] legoktm: thanks :-) [18:30:58] I still wonder how the PathRouter is related, but you have way more knowledge about these kinds of things so you're right about $wgExtensionFunctions then. [19:09:38] yo do i change the LocalSettings.php to allow people to register? [19:10:20] !access [19:10:20] For information on customizing user access, see . For common examples of restricting access using both rights and extensions, see . [19:10:47] Rein|VPS: do the opposite of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_account_creation ;) [19:12:55] hi, is it possible to show diff of two short text strings on mediawiki without some plugin? [19:13:09] ah ha, thanks MatmaRex, makes sense [19:14:18] oh also has a plugin i like the sound of [19:15:12] MrKeuner: no, MediaWiki will only generate diffs of saved page content. it would probably be fairly easy to write such an extension, though. [19:15:54] I think it would be significantly useful. [19:17:49] For VisualEditor on a private wiki, how to debug HTTP 200 when loading the editor page? [19:19:05] HTTP 200 means OK actually [19:19:25] are you sure about debugging HTTP 200? Errors have either 4xx or 5xx codes, not 200 [19:20:25] Yesss I know it is pretty weird. I am using the latest stable version of Mediawiki and the corresponding version of VisualEditor. Parsoid looks to be working fine [19:22:22] The thing is Parsoid works when I send a custom post, but it does not receive any requests from VisualEditor [19:30:39] legoktm: (if you're still here) I have been trying SpecialPage_initList but that doesn't seem to work (unless I am stupid) [19:44:57] MatmaRex: thanks for that link. lead me to a nice little extension which i even managed to install correctly! [19:45:32] yay [19:46:18] its almost like i have followed instructions before! [19:54:07] Parsoid giving the message: [19:54:15] String arguments to ParsoidConfig#setMwApi are deprecated: mediawiki [19:54:24] Is this an error? [19:59:26] subbu, ^ [20:01:24] VisualLearner, I am in the middle of something .. so cannot look now, but, can you please show up in #mediawiki-parsoid, and one of us will be around to answer in about 30 mins or so. [20:06:08] subbu: Will do; thanks ;) [21:18:25] SPF|Cloud: can you upload your patch?
