[03:59:47] :hi [07:34:42] Hi! I've been having some issues with registration. I didn't receive the registration email after an admin approved my account request, but the user I requested was created on the wiki. [07:34:54] tried to log in with the password I used to register, no luck :( [07:35:12] also tried forgot password and send to my email address, but without success [07:35:39] (I did not receive the email once again) [07:35:53] is there anything more I can do? =/ [07:36:37] Can someone help me? - I keep getting "Pardon! We could not process your edit due. Loss of session data. Please try again. If it still does not work, try logging out and back in again." when trying to edit a page. Also, it keeps jumping from logged in to logged out saying I'm central logged in. [07:37:29] SimmeD: Do you happen to use Firefox and edit lots of wikis? [07:37:55] Yep? [07:38:02] Answer: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151770 [07:38:21] Firefox 50 made a change in November that broke how cookies are evicted from the browser cache. [07:39:52] Ahhh okay [07:40:08] That particular bugged plagued me for THREE MONTHS trying to figure it out. [07:40:30] Then I finally found that bug report. [07:41:21] Yah, I was thinking it was just me :) [07:43:18] Thanks a lot Trela :) [07:44:28] I think it might have happended since I move a lot of files on commons. [10:41:39] hi [10:56:36] is there anybody who will assist me on the project [10:56:37] ? [10:57:09] hi lerc [10:57:17] r u there? [10:58:10] meep [10:58:58] tanvir [10:59:28] anybody now that hows the funding done by wiki for the projects [10:59:37] ? [11:03:01] ?? [15:11:09] apache rewrite rules are just maddening [15:22:18] Is there an extension that can be used to generate/manage the sidebar menu? [15:24:16] not that i know of. but you can edit it manually [15:24:18] !sidebar [15:24:18] To edit the navigation menu on the left, edit page [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] on your wiki using its special syntax (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar for details). If you need more control, you can use the SkinBuildSidebar hook (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/SkinBuildSidebar). [15:28:03] MatmaRex: Thanks, I will see what i can do with that hook and maybe create my own. [15:40:13] anyone here a whiz with apache rewrite rules? i'm having a hell of a time getting one just perfect [15:41:06] essentially mediawiki is installed directly in the documentroot and i want any attempts to access /Article_Name /wiki/Article_Name or /w/Article_Name to work as simply /Article_Name [17:00:51] hi, I've just upgraded from R1.27 to R1.28 and again started to modify php-code (LoginSignupSpecialPage.php). I'm using LDAP with autocreation, so I cannot set 'createaccount' to false, but I also don't want to show "create new account" on this special page ... is it maybe possible to add an additional 'else' in showCreateAccountLink(), maybe "isAllowed( 'autocreate')" [17:01:39] Don't modify core files! [17:03:24] you're right, but I don't like unclean systems ;-) and from my view showing this options is not "clean" ;-) [17:06:02] Usually, there's better ways of doing it [17:06:16] it is nonsens to show a link to a special page, which is hidden by config, which results in showing a page that tells you that you have to be logged in to show this page ... [17:06:30] Maybe file a bug about it at least in the first instance? :) [17:07:12] thats an option ;-), but from my side it sound more than a feature, than a bug ... [17:07:20] ;-) [17:08:09] and maybe theres a developer reading on the list, which finds this idea interesting ;-) [17:08:24] list -> chat ;-) [17:08:38] There might [17:08:48] But you could as easily miss the right people [17:08:58] right ;-) [17:10:28] so ... whom can I write a mail ... I don't like to write to mailling list and don't want to publisch my address in a buglist ;-) [17:11:06] Phabricator uses accounts tied to a Wikimedia user account, or a Wikitech user account [17:11:14] Neither publish your email [17:12:31] !newbug [17:12:31] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/ [17:19:48] no account creation wanted ;-) [17:20:59] so if somebody knows somebody else ;-) ... [17:22:31] in the meantime ... I've want I want to have ... [19:43:39] Hello, all -- has anyone run into a problem where PHP runJobs.php processes get stuck in process state D (kernel disk wait, blocking) and no other processes on the box are stuck, including other PHP and other SQL processes? [19:44:53] I haven't heard of that problem. But its probably totally fine to kill runJobs if its getting stuck [19:45:54] For debugging purposes, it might be useful to know what type of job its getting stuck on [19:46:04] or if you hook up an actual debugger, what line its getting stuck on [20:29:40] bawolff: processes in state D are unkillable by root. [20:30:10] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5642/what-if-kill-9-does-not-work [20:31:07] interesting. /me not all that up on linux system administration [20:38:04] Just had a downtime from the issue, and I now have another process stuck [21:12:26] I found the problem, I think -- it has to do with PostGres upgrades and the php-pgsql modules. [21:25:02] Well, maybe... [21:25:10] PostGres sucks... [21:25:22] MediaWiki is optimized for mysql ;) [21:25:32] Seriously, we do almost no testing of the postgres support [21:25:36] I'm amazed it works at all [21:25:44] No, it's not your fault -- PostGres has a weird upgrade path. [21:26:10] I mean in general though, there's very little testing to make sure indexes and things are correct on the postgres layer [21:26:41] So if you do ever encounter weird slowness with postgress and MW, its probably our postgres compatability layer being poor [21:30:56] Slowness I don't care about. I do care about this not crashing the sum total of my box... [22:00:05] in direct comparison, postgres is far superior to mysql in a number of areas. mediawiki just has poor support for it (and even worse support for proprietary dbs) [22:15:43] how can i apply this patch ? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/336266/ [22:16:47] should i try to install pcntl module by make ? [22:22:23] alex1a: on what system? [22:22:30] there's probably a OS package for that [22:23:00] Platonides, i'm on debia, and install php throw apt package man [22:23:17] Platonides, a package to pcntl ? [22:23:27] php5-pcntl, I guess? [22:24:18] hmm, no [22:24:22] ohh thanks Platonides [22:24:37] pcntl extension is built in on php5-cli and php5-cgi [22:25:06] you would need one of them [22:25:15] yep i install php5-cli when install all my php deps [22:25:44] and mw keep giving me "PHP Fatal Error: Call to undefined function pcntl_wifsignaled()" [22:27:10] how are you calling mediawiki? [22:28:07] my client was google chrome on url https://www.domain.com/wiki/index.php/SomePageThatThrowFatalError [22:28:18] in case it helps... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14096130/enable-pcntl-in-ubuntu-php-test-fails [22:28:30] alex1a: but how is the web server loading apache? [22:28:36] *alex1a: but how is the web server loading php? [22:28:46] and i can't edit that SomePageThatThrowFatalError, sometimes i can see it only [22:28:48] unless it is calling php as a cgi, it won't have pcntl available [22:29:12] I expect that https://www.domain.com/wiki/index.php?title=SomePageThatThrowFatalError&action=edit would work for editing [22:29:46] i add a vhost to mediawiki in my apache configuration, my apache handle php as cgi engine [22:32:05] Platonides, Vulpix, i guess my system don't have pcntl module, i install php-cgi package, but already enable pcntl functions by removing them on "disable_functions =" (php.ini) [22:32:36] did you restart apache after the change in php.ini? [22:32:50] yep yep [22:36:33] should i remove all pcntl_ functions from disable_functions ? i only remove pcntl_wifsignaled, pcntl_wtermsig and pcntl_wexitstatus [22:55:53] maybe because my low hardware, and some timeout on cache ? or in wifsignal ?
