[03:13:36] I'm here on behalf of the maintainer of a wiki I help administrate to ask about an issue that's affecting the site [03:14:12] For some reason, account confirmation emails haven't been going out to people who have registered accounts; the earliest I was made aware of this was 42~ hours ago [03:14:54] We've tried making several accounts since, up until 20 minutes ago, but still no confirmation emails [03:15:16] Would anyone here happen to know exactly why confirmation emails aren't being sent out to users registering? [03:15:39] The wiki, in discussion, is this one: http://en.tpdpwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page [03:23:59] have you recently changed the wiki config? [03:24:06] have you recently changed the mailing server config? [03:24:22] have you recently changed the firewall config? [03:24:48] have you recently changed the unicorn config? [03:25:21] You need to supply more information compared to wanting someone to guess with a crystal ball [03:25:30] Unfortunately thats all the information I /had/ [03:25:36] I don't run the behind-the-scenes stuff [03:25:46] So I'm relaying it to the person who /does/ [03:27:09] "none of these are a thing except maybe the email server, but I'm kind of clueless when it comes to that" [05:04:29] !ops join #wikipedia-es [05:04:39] ...

I am not able find code for this bug [14:22:22] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141665 [14:22:35] Can anyone help me? [14:22:52] I need suggestions , I am new to contribution [14:25:42] newbie__ hi, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/master/languages/i18n/ [14:25:50] en.json should be the one that is changed [14:25:53] and qqq.json [14:26:08] the other ones will be updated from translatewiki when en.json is updated [14:26:25] newbie__: you can try downloading the BlueSpice bundle, and search in files for that text (either the message "apihelp-bs-responsibleeditorspages-store-description" or the typo itself) with find + grep for example [14:26:41] Oh woops [14:26:46] paladox: apparently that message is not from core [14:26:48] Vulpix is right [14:26:55] I didnt read the task clearly [14:27:07] I just saw a part and thought it was mw core. [14:27:43] Vulpix apparently that message does not exist anymore [14:27:48] bs-responsibleeditorspages- [14:27:52] woops [14:27:52] https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=responsibleeditorspages&type=Code&ref=searchresults [14:29:59] Okay ! Thankyou [14:30:04] I will try it. [14:30:05] :) [14:30:50] Your welcome, i carn't seem to find the message though [14:31:03] they where at least here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/301793/1/ResponsibleEditors/i18n/en.json [14:31:51] someone from Brazil here, that like fiction and know how to operate a wiki? [14:32:00] Vulpix https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EBSE/browse/master/ResponsibleEditors/i18n/en.json [14:32:09] Phabricator says it was deleted [14:32:31] newbie__ HI, the files were deleted in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rEBSEfeac5d43bb2dcd56262041235978d6492e512a9b [14:32:39] Im going to close the task as declined [14:33:22] this should be archived as well, I guess... https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ResponsibleEditors [14:34:58] Yep [14:35:04] it's a bit puzzling how the deleted the extension without any explanation as of why https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rEBSEfeac5d43bb2dcd56262041235978d6492e512a9b [14:35:33] Okay! Can you help me in finding an other bug [14:35:57] !easy | newbie__ [14:35:57] newbie__: We keep a list of bugs that are easy to solve, in case new developers want a simple step to start out with. Check out https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/easy/ and let us know if you need any help fixing your first bug! [14:36:23] ok fellas, I want to create a fiction city like Gothan and Sin City in Portuguese language in wiki, to use like rpg world or for fiction... [14:37:37] Yep ! I am looking at that [14:41:51] sometimes easy bugs aren't simple ones, though [14:42:10] if you want a simple one, I think this is one of them: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147762 [14:46:23] Vulpix : I will look at it, Thankyou [14:54:43] !gsoc [14:54:43] There are multiple keys, refine your input: gsoc2015, gsocapp, [14:54:54] mmm, a bit outdated [15:05:20] exit [15:23:47] hi [15:24:42] how to use the LocalSettings.php? I searched but I can't seem to find a solution for that error: http://146.185.183.34/mediawiki/ [15:28:19] tims_tech: looks like you haven't set correctly the settings for the database [15:28:51] Vulpix, I never worked with a database before. [15:28:53] :P [15:29:56] you need a hosting that provides a database server, or install it if you are on a virtual host or dedicated server [15:30:36] I have my own server with ubuntu 16.04 64-bit [15:30:54] and I set up the mediawiki and the server things that needed to be installed [15:31:05] and now I am stuck [15:35:19] you're using the MediaWiki package from ubuntu, or have you downloaded the mediawiki tarball? [15:35:51] I downloaded the mediawiki package Vulpix [15:36:20] rour response doesn't clarify my question :) [15:36:24] *your [15:36:59] so: ubuntu package, or tarball? [15:37:08] ubuntu package [15:39:27] either your database server is not running, the user is wrong, or something else... [15:39:41] but [15:39:55] add $wgShowSQLErrors = true; to LocalSettings.php in case it displays more information [15:40:03] how does a LocalSettings.php needs to look like? because it can't be autogenerated [15:40:23] so... you wiped it? [15:40:26] I have no idea since I don't understand the variables nor database [15:40:39] Vulpix, I tried multiple things [15:41:09] you can regenerate it, but you will lose any customizations [15:41:24] it wasn't generated before [15:41:28] that is why.. [15:41:29] :P [15:41:48] because ubuntu already has it configured [15:41:58] but [15:42:41] let me try something [15:42:57] you can of course uninstall it and reinstall it, it may regenerate it... probably losing your mediawiki content (if any) [15:43:11] what is the package name then? [15:43:21] otherwise, delete LocalSettings.php or rename it, and follow the normal setup http://146.185.183.34/mediawiki/mw-config/ [15:43:39] I don't use ubuntu so I don't know for sure [15:43:54] ok [15:44:06] so the package will automaticly generate it? [15:45:18] Vulpix did you add support for postgres in mw? [15:47:01] paladox: no [15:47:04] ok [15:47:12] I wonder who did? [15:47:22] I am trying to fix the tests [15:47:24] in travis ci [15:47:34] tims_tech: the package generated it the first time it was installed, so I guess yes [15:47:44] paladox: git blame? :) [15:47:50] Oh [15:47:57] Yep, i think there's a task [15:48:20] Vulpix, Package mediawiki is not available, but is referred to by another package. [15:48:20] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [15:48:21] is only available from another source [15:48:22] :P [15:50:02] tims_tech: I'd recommend installing it from scratch, downloading the tarball and following the manual, but of course that would be harder if you don't know a database user with enough privileges to create a new database, etc... [15:51:33] :P [15:52:12] Oh nope no task. [15:53:51] Turnstep did alot of changes [15:53:55] But is in active now [15:54:14] poor Turnstep :P [15:55:44] Yep, he seems to be active on phabricator though [15:55:55] but last task was at the end of september 2016 [15:56:13] but brion i think added support for postgres [15:56:35] so [15:56:51] I can install it now, needed to downgrade to ubuntu 14.04 [16:00:33] tims_tech you should use ubuntu 16.04, what was the error? [16:00:37] Or the problem? [16:00:44] Did it display any problems? [16:01:08] yes paladox [16:01:21] Since if it is a problem with the package, we can fix it [16:01:31] ok [16:01:38] Package mediawiki is not available, but is referred to by another package [16:01:42] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [16:01:45] Oh [16:01:47] is only available from another source [16:01:50] that is it :P [16:02:09] it installs fine on ubuntu 14.04 :P [16:02:18] oh [16:02:25] It's cause the package isn't in 16.04, it's in 16.10 [16:02:26] I guess it may have been built on ubuntu 14.04 [16:02:31] Oh [16:02:36] http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/mediawiki [16:02:41] Reedy how can we get it on ubuntu 16.04 [16:02:42] ? [16:02:44] http://107.170.41.38/mediawiki [16:02:51] but after installing [16:02:55] We ask for the package backporting I guess [16:03:04] /build it for 16.04 and get it submitted [16:03:13] ok [16:03:27] Reedy it has a branch for xenial https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/mediawiki/debian,branches [16:03:40] http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/mediawiki [16:03:58] oh [16:06:28] so 16.10? [16:06:29] ok [16:06:35] will create another server then [16:07:02] done [16:07:05] let me try to install [16:08:10] Reedy i created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148288 [16:09:01] paladox, I can install it now [16:09:08] Ok :) [16:09:22] the only thing I want after is: [16:09:30] importing the dumps [16:09:36] :P [16:10:22] Oh, im not sure how to do the dumps [16:10:39] LocalSettings.php not found. [16:10:43] after installing it [16:11:15] I will try that setup thing [16:11:55] tims_tech yep you have to now run the updater [16:12:02] which will setup the tables [16:12:10] and generate the localsettings.php file [16:12:29] thanks :) [16:14:23] Your welcome [16:19:11] I also filled https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148289 [17:29:12] Does anyone know why adding a query string to the end of a special page URL with Apache (i.e. /mw/index.php/Special:GitAccess) would seem to cause an "Error" exception? [18:11:35] Hi, im wondering does anyone know how to fix https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147599 [18:11:45] Im trying to fix it, but doint know how to [19:00:05] Is there a recommended way to archive a mediawiki site? I think the answer is edit local settings to turn off users and edits OR an http mirror, but it never hurts to consult the great ones… My main goal is not to be upgrading mediawiki 5 years from now but still have the content online and searchable with google. [19:01:20] lyarick: there is a mediawiki archiving team working with the Internet Archive, I'd check what they do - they try to keep the content running [19:02:33] saper: I will check that out, thanks. [19:03:09] ok, found it — https://archive.org/details/wikiteam [19:03:29] thanks exactly the search terms I needed [19:06:08] http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WikiTeam [19:06:20] https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam [19:06:26] !wikiteacm [19:06:28] !wikiteam [19:07:45] !wikiteam is a set of tools for archiving wikis. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WikiTeam software https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/wikiteam [19:07:46] Key was added [19:07:51] !archiving [19:07:51] There is no such key, you probably want to try: !wikiteam, [19:07:58] !wikiteam [19:07:58] a set of tools for archiving wikis. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WikiTeam software https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/wikiteam [19:08:07] !wikiteam del [19:08:08] Successfully removed wikiteam [19:08:22] !wikiteam is Wikiteam software is a set of tools for archiving wikis. http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=WikiTeam software https://github.com/WikiTeam/wikiteam Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/wikiteam [19:08:22] Key was added [19:10:06] Hi, are there any changes in InstantCommons? It stops working for me few days ago [19:28:09] SSL cert issues? [19:36:48] Reedy: this was reaction on my question? [19:36:55] Yup [19:37:36] well... My webpage is not using any SSL as long as I know [19:37:50] is it an issue? [19:38:55] No, not your website [19:38:58] But Wikimedia/Commons is [19:40:23] ok. Is it an issue on commons/wikpedia side or can I do something about it? [19:41:42] GlobalSign dropped a mess [19:51:42] I can see, there is already a ticket on phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102566 Unfortunately closed with solution which doesn't work for me :-( [19:52:15] Reedy: thanks, at least I know where is the issue ;-) [19:52:28] I'm not saying it definitely is [19:52:29] But seems likely
