[00:04:24] i am getting a Fatal exception of type MWException Error when i try to upload a file to my mediawiki [00:09:00] !debug | saul [00:09:00] saul: For information on debugging (including viewing errors), see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug . A list of related configuration variables is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#Debug.2Flogging [01:33:01] I'm trying to update from MW 1.23 to the latest version. update.php throws this error when I run it: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'The value for 'load_composer_autoloader' should be an array' in /home/starseto/domains/starsetonline.mwzip.com/public_html/w/includes/registration/ExtensionProcessor.php:348 [01:33:15] Anyone know how ti fix it [01:33:32] to [10:18:34] Hello. A newbie question. I'm trying to install FlaggedRevs extension. [10:18:52] How to run a script, for instance: maintenance/populateSha1.php [10:19:23] I get 403 access denied when running via browser. [10:19:31] Via shell/command line [10:19:33] !shell [10:19:33] Shell access (that is, SSH access, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH) is highly recommended if you want to run MediaWiki. You can install without it, and basic operation will work, but even creating backups or upgrading will be painful without it. Some more involved maintenance tasks may even be impossible. MediaWiki is not designed for minimal environments. [10:21:27] How do I install it? [10:21:55] which os do you have [10:22:01] Windows. [10:22:38] Dalo: Command prompt. [10:23:58] Via command prompt? What would the command be for running maintenance/populateSha1.php, for instance? [10:24:41] Dalo: php maintenance/populateSha1.php [10:24:41] Do you know where PHP is installed? [10:24:44] Dalo: `php maintenance/populateSha1.php` [10:25:08] (assuming that the PHP executable is in your %PATH% env variable, which it probably is) [10:25:08] Dalo: You need to navigate to the mediawiki directory first. [10:25:52] I didn't say the most important thing: I'm using a free web hosting with CPanel and I installed MediaWiki via Autoinstaller. [10:26:34] I just need to test the localization of some MediaWiki extensions, I'm not planning to host a website. [10:26:38] ah, so your wiki is probably not running on windows? just your own computer? [10:26:47] Yeah. [10:26:50] Dalo: if it's a free hosting, then might not give you shell access :) [10:26:52] :( [10:26:55] they* [10:27:17] How do I know if they do or don't? [10:27:40] It's Byethost, btw. [10:27:55] Dalo: if they don't advertise that they do, they don't. [10:28:49] Dalo: we apparently have some extensions that allow you to run maintenance script from the wiki… never used them myself, but worth trying. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maintenance https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MaintenanceShell [10:30:20] I'll try it out now. [10:39:36] I installed "Maintenance" extension, but when I go to Special:Maintenance, it says I don't have permission even though I logged in as Admin, lol. [10:40:20] Oh, nevermind, found it in wiki. [10:43:32] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maintenance#List_of_supported_maintenance_scripts - This list doesn't contain the thing I need, right? [12:18:53] 2 mediawiki's on 1 server. Impossible idea, bad idea or almost reasonable idea ? [12:21:02] reasonable [12:22:18] But I assume I can't just follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki for the 2nd one (the first one is already running for ~1 year) [12:24:11] garo: you probably can. just put the files for the second installation in a different directory (you can share them and just have separate LocalSettings.php, but it's easiest to just have all the source code copied), and make sure you make it use a different database than the first one (or a different table name prefix) [12:38:06] !wikifarm | garo [12:38:06] garo: 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: [12:43:34] haii... [12:56:10] hai ... [12:56:19] are u there all .. ? [12:56:28] www.wikipedia.com [12:59:42] morning [13:08:01] hi night aiger [13:08:13] :) [13:08:42] #weboculus [15:31:29] Any PHP version recommendations in preparation for whenever 1.27 comes out? I'm not sure whether to do something in 5.5, or jump up to 5.6 [15:32:47] 5.5.9 or above is gonna be fine [15:32:57] It'll be likely to be the minimum version for a while now [15:33:28] Ah ok, thanks! [15:59:15] Hi [15:59:28] can anyone help diagnose why my mediawiki 1.26.3 installation is not autocompleting search terms? [16:02:27] Check your browser error console? [16:07:57] Thanks @Ready, just checked the console. The XHR is working but the network is really slow. [18:33:25] How can I use the MediaWiki API to determine if a particular edit has been made by an anonymous user? [18:49:46] darthbhyrava: See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Revisions [18:51:52] Thanks Niharika , matmarex cleared my doubts. I will look at API:Revisions, too. :) [18:52:09] (Y) [19:15:18] I have a mediawiki 1.26 with visualeditor and confirmedit (with simplecaptcha). However the captcha question does not seem to be passed correctly : it always fails. If I use the regular page editor, the captcha works fine. Any idea why that is ? [19:46:02] What does it mean if I get: There was either an authentication database error or you are not allowed to update your external account. [19:48:04] I am using ConfirmAccount on REL1_27 with 1.27.0-rc.0 [20:01:35] No worries. Reported this as an issue. [20:01:37] Cheers [20:13:37] :-) [20:26:28] hi Marv_FFM [20:29:01] Hi folks, is anyone from the wikiteam here which is responsible for the wikiteam back-tool on github (https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam) - or at least someone who is familiar with it? [20:33:10] Marv_FFM: I see some familiar names on https://github.com/orgs/WikiTeam/people [20:33:23] maybe compare the nicknames in here [20:41:07] thanks andre, seems one is here. just have to wait for him I guess. [20:41:14] Marv_FFM: the script works fine according to itu [20:41:35] what? [20:42:01] * itu never said such thing [20:43:29] sorry war unter linux rennt das script direkt ohne probleme [22:15:14] Ohai I made a second release candidate for MW 1.27. Behold, RC.1! [22:15:17] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2016-June/000190.html [23:14:58] Hello everyone [23:15:12] Are you guys skilled at infoboxes? [23:15:30] Because I need help with one. [23:18:59] !wikipmediawiki [23:18:59] Confused about the differences between MediaWiki, Wikimedia, Wikipedia and wiki? See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikipmediawiki [23:19:50] Ah... [23:20:06] It's not Wikipedia-related though. [23:26:43] never mind, got my problem solved
