[00:17:38] Hi VisualLearner. [00:42:57] Anyone know my CentralAuth might give out an "Invalid wiki" error [00:45:03] are you still setting it up? [00:46:22] No, I installed it successfully but going to Special: CentralAuth/ gives me the error [00:50:20] Agent, can you paste your config? [00:50:45] and what is the wiki ID specified by the error? [01:00:36] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/hvY7eEVq [01:02:44] Also, the wiki id is mainwiki [08:51:35] where can I find WD / Lodewijk [11:36:56] hey there, i need an extension for making a room reservation, better for more than one room. is there something i can use for this? [11:39:45] nobody can help? [11:41:19] ? [11:41:20] ? [11:41:20] ? [11:41:21] ? [11:41:21] ? [11:41:21] ? [11:41:21] ? [11:41:22] ? [11:41:22] ? [11:41:22] ? [11:41:23] ? [11:41:23] ? [11:41:23] ? [11:41:24] ? [11:43:26] dafuq is wrong with people? [13:13:47] Rein|VPS_: This was not as bad as the usual spam. :P [13:14:31] Is there an extension that has basic spreadsheet functionality in tables? I basically need a sum() function and multiplication, not an entire Excel/Google Docs replacement. [13:15:43] Niharika: they waited 3 mins for a response though and then became a dick [13:15:46] i wouldnt help them ever [13:16:43] dougquaid: have you tried googling it? [13:17:10] Rein|VPS_: Yup. I found the Spreadsheet extension but it didn't quite do what I wanted [13:17:45] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math [13:17:51] this one might work. not tried it myself [13:18:04] thanks, I'll check it out [13:18:18] gl :) [13:19:27] People don't realize support over IRC != tech support phone call. [13:20:04] sif you get a response from tech support phone call in under 10 mins [13:20:52] takes 15mins just to go through the menus! [13:21:10] :P But at least you're sure someone's going to take the call. [13:21:18] hah [13:21:24] not 100% [13:21:35] maybe there should be an irc menu bot [13:21:41] haha [13:22:01] "do you want to ask about X or Y ? if X press 1, if Y press 2" [13:22:42] make it happen rom1504 [19:10:21] Hey everyone, I'm getting occasional site interrupts on my wiki. Getting "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties." for 2 or 3 minutes then the site is all good again. Is thereanything obvious that might be causing this? [19:10:48] Overloaded server? [19:11:30] Only another person and I are working on it, it's not publicized yet [19:12:10] Lou-Promine: there should be an error after that such as "Cannot connect to database" or something [19:12:12] I've got "top" up, it's an ubuntu server, and I'm never above 5% CPU usage or 70% RAM usage while watching [19:12:34] yepp ^^ I think it says can't connect to database, I'll verify next occurance [19:13:04] It could be incorrect credentials or the SQL server is just being dorpy [19:13:58] incorrect creds won't make it work some of the time [19:14:46] the credentials haven't changed since it was set up on over a year ago, no problems in day-to-day usage [19:14:59] any checks I can run on the SQL database? [19:15:07] watch the processes [19:15:07] Not that I know of [19:17:11] Aside from watching TOP, do either of you have other ideas that might work to check to get to the root of the problem? [19:18:32] Lou-Promine: check your webserver's error logs [19:18:37] They might show something [19:19:01] On Linux, Apache has them stored in /var/log/apache2/error.log [19:20:12] Agent: , thanks :) I'll give it a look [19:20:40] np 😃 [19:47:40] The error I'm getting is "Error reading result set's header in /......./mediawiki/includes/db/DatabaseMysqli.php on line 43, referer: http://......../index.php?title=.....&action=edit [19:48:20] 43 is this: $ret = $conn->query( $sql ); [19:52:37] What version of mysql? [19:58:11] 5.7.12 [20:00:11] That's effectively the most recent so I don't think there'd be a compatability problem [20:01:38] Lou-Promine: in those cases, I'd reinstall MediaWiki [20:01:52] While keeping localsettings.php [20:01:58] Because that's all you need [20:03:43] i can download a copy of the mysql database and put it back in place though, right? [20:04:03] (obviously not just copy-paste) [20:05:41] Lou-Promine: It was mostly checking you weren't running some weird old version [20:05:50] I don't think reinstalling MW is going to help [20:06:33] Trying to think if mysql logs give anything useful [20:06:44] I think it would help [20:06:54] Because maybe the file is corrupted somehow [20:06:59] Agent, MW is not Windows, please don't give such random advices [20:07:28] Maybe, exporting the database, and reimporting it [20:07:52] Lou-Promine: Are you getting "MySQL server has gone away" too? [20:07:56] MaxSem: Well, I've fixed MediaWiki sometimes like that so I'm suggesting it from my experience [20:08:59] @Reddy: Yep [20:09:25] first php warning is "gone away" then second php warning is "error reading result set's header" [20:09:40] yeah [20:09:52] Quick google suggests you need to change max_allowed_packet [20:10:17] in your mysql config [20:10:39] It seem to be very much an issue with mysql, and/or the way it's configured [20:11:32] Might be worth looking at the mysql logs [20:12:33] Wow thanks Reedy, much appreciated [22:39:28] hi, how can I transclude a page via lua? frame:expandTemplate{ title = page } works only partially [22:40:25] {{page}} and page="page"; frame:expandTemplate{ title = page } both show different results
