[03:06:38] on debian stretch, the mediawiki install script fails to find a suitable database driver, but i already installed php-mysql and uncommented it in /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini [03:52:50] restarted your webserver? [04:15:20] yes, i even rebooted, Reedy [04:22:08] Generally, you shouldn't have to uncomment them manually [04:35:02] there's a lot of things that "should" work, but they don't [04:35:10] particularly near gry :-) [04:35:21] although i have no idea what i did wrong this time [07:35:33] hi everyone [08:17:14] Hi, need help with my old account on en.wikipedia.org. I had the username kg4gsn, with an old email address that is no longer valid. I am not able to reset the password to get access to my old account. What do I need to do to update my old account, and get access to it again. Thaks. [08:23:59] Anyone have any idea for how to fix not being able to upload? Getting 504s on wiki, and importImages.php just blocks [08:37:58] Huricane: join #wikipedia [10:39:13] hi, on my wiki I can download the Special:RecentChanges page via curl, but I can't access it via browser (FF), it says "The page isn’t redirecting properly" .. could someone help me with this issue please? [10:50:46] the page seems to show when I disable cookies for the site.. but in that case I couldn't stay logged in.. :/ [17:22:54] auvajs: Try disabling your browser extensions? Try in a different browser? [19:03:23] Niharika: sorry for a somewhat late reply.. same issue in Ubuntu Web Browser and Konqueror.. Google Chrome isn't working for me atm.. as I said Special:RecentChanges works normally, I can access it when I'm not logged in.. but I get this "too many redirects" error when logged in.. [19:04:38] auvajs: Do you have the new RC filters beta feature enabled? [19:04:54] On, your wiki. [19:05:16] auvajs: Ignore that^^ [19:05:37] Niharika: I didn't set it up so only if its set up by default [19:06:16] Niharika: I think this problem started when I made an update via git [19:06:32] According to http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000363.html#.WUbO_sOZOu4 it might be a problem with the apache settings. [19:07:12] auvajs: Does it say it has a redirect loop? [19:08:11] The page isn’t redirecting properly [19:08:13] Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. [19:09:48] http://www.ryadel.com/en/mediawiki-iis-redirect-loop-issue-fix/ [19:09:52] auvajs: Check this. [19:10:18] Er, actually. [19:10:26] Niharika: I don't have Windows/IIS environment [19:11:30] auvajs: Well you can always do a revert to the previous version. [19:12:10] There's a lot of posts online (many on mediawiki.org) about this issue. [19:12:42] Likely something wonky with the setup. [19:14:19] my version is 1.30.0-alpha (0c8dfa4) [19:14:21] 8. 5. 2017, 17:13 [19:15:03] auvajs: have you ruled out a rewrite rule problem? [19:15:50] Vulpix: I'm not 100% sure but I don't think there is a problem with my rewrite rules [19:16:05] Vulpix: since I made no changes to the rules in the last time [19:16:20] you said yesterday "it was working until you restarted the server" [19:17:38] Vulpix: I'm not sure, my uptime is 4 days atm, I guess it was working after that.. but I'm not sure I checked it.. another issue may be mw update [19:19:22] huh I just made another mw update and it works again now.. :)) [19:19:57] 1.30.0-alpha (ef91b0b) works [20:12:26] anyone on?
