[01:37:44] hi, quick question - what could cause restbase to hang right after it initialized its cassandra CP? restbase is running locally, but it won't serve a response to any requests. [01:37:55] there are no errors in logs either [02:01:33] actually, the process itself stops responding to ctrl+c after ~35secs [02:11:44] TK-999: you might try asking in #wikimedia-services ? I'm not sure anyone here is familiar with restbase... :/ [02:14:07] thanks, will do :) [02:18:04] do I have to restart my computer to update my local mediawiki settings? [02:19:14] I keep getting this "Import failed: Upload of import file failed. The file is bigger than the allowed upload size." -- and I have upgraded every single php.ini file in existence [02:25:13] have you restarted apache / whatever webserver you're using? [02:37:35] legoktm: nope? [02:37:45] * Woodpecker looks up how to restart apache [02:38:07] been googling how to restart mediawiki, like a retard. [02:39:56] !cookie | legoktm [02:39:56] legoktm: To enable cookies for popular browsers, see [02:40:02] lol [02:40:50] it worked btw [02:59:17] Woodpecker: great :) [02:59:33] Woodpecker: in the future any change to php.ini requires a restart of apache [03:00:24] legoktm: if you maintain the wiki, you should put that in there. It says things like, "This does not require a restart of mediawiki", which is confusing. [03:00:39] link? [03:00:45] sec [03:04:05] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php#File_contents –– I was told somewhere else that I would need to add something to localsettings.php for particular settings, and then reading this caused confusion. [03:04:32] "There is no need to manually "restart" anything. Anyway, in some cases you may need to clear your browser's cache to actually see the changes you made." [03:05:06] right, that's for LocalSettings.php, not php.ini [03:05:36] true. [03:06:28] where did you find the instructions to modify php.ini? Maybe we can make it more clear there that a restart is needed [03:11:14] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Set_maximum_size_for_file_uploads –– Its kind of jammed into the middle, and the command lacks a code backdrop. Quote: [03:12:27] "You may need to restart Apache or IIS after altering your PHP or web server configuration. " -- Editting the php.ini, at least to me, would not stick out to me as "altering your php or web server configuration" [03:13:01] Well php.ini is literally the configuration file for php [03:13:21] But if you can think of a better way to word it, don't hesitate to improve :) [03:13:49] bawolff: okay; I will ;) [03:28:43] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads –– I only changed what I could confirm worked for me. [03:34:29] Woodpecker: Cool. Thankyou for improving our docs [04:12:32] https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/mwext-testextension-hhvm-jessie/24155/console - why would the form have an id attribute on jenkins but not locally [04:12:36] unit tests make no sense [15:57:09] why Chrome doesn't want to render it? What's wrong with my mediawiki? The pdf itself must be fine since if i download it it opens just fine in other pdf viewers. https://mw.lojban.org/images/d/db/lenumakfaprami.pdf [15:58:51] gleki_: what version of chrome, mediawiki, etc [16:01:48] Zppix: mediawiki 1.29.0, chrome latest stable. dont you have any problems with that link? what if you click on the pd document from https://mw.lojban.org/papri/File:lenumakfaprami.pdf ? [16:02:08] I will look i just needed some info [16:02:57] I have no issue on my end [16:03:44] interesting. here, if I download the file, chrome will open it fine. if I click on the link, chrome won't. I wonder if it's because it's being served with the mimetype text/plain [16:03:59] shauno: exactly my problem [16:04:27] how can i fix mimetypes? [16:07:23] good question. that's usually in the apache config, but should 'just work' on every setup I've seen [16:14:03] the message in the chrome console is "Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf". you'd probably be best off googling that [16:14:32] (that the direct link doesn't work either, means it's probably not MW causing this. this doesn't help much, just narrows it down to chrome or the httpd) [16:14:57] https://serverfault.com/questions/334049/how-do-i-configure-nginx-to-serve-pdf-files [16:15:23] It's not Chrome [16:15:23] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 [16:28:01] Hi, i have a question [16:28:01] Hi Hayk, just ask! There is no need to ask if you can ask, if you already asked the question please wait for someone to respond [16:29:55] i would like to add and do more details about historical facts of Armenia. I have a severeal sources for exp. Bernard Brentjes. My question is: Can i add info moreless literelly from book on wikipedia ?? [16:30:24] Hayk: this is not the right channel for this, what wikipedia are you referring to? [16:31:27] wikipedia.org [16:32:13] Hayk: please join #wikipedia-en or #wikipedia-en-help for questions regarding English Wikipedia, as this is the channel for support on the software that wikipedia runs on [16:32:20] is is allow to add info moreless literally from book on wikipedia? [16:33:15] In theory, yes [20:49:59] Dear pals, is there a way to purge many categories at once? I mean, to purge many "category pages". [20:50:01] Thanks! [20:50:54] What are you trying to do? [20:51:51] Well, I have 1000 categories, each has its page, in each category page there is some content arranged in template. [20:52:04] The template changes. I need to rebuild all those category pages. [20:53:01] In details, the template prints some text about the category, colours that text, and arranges the category page in some other categories depenging on the template's parameters. [20:54:40] So now I added a parameter to that template, and this new parameter is filled to arrange the category pages in several super-categories. As soon as the category pages will be purged, the template will sort these category pages in new super-categories. [20:55:07] I may explain this in examples. [20:57:52] Ah [20:57:59] You want the job queue to run [20:58:15] !jobqueue [20:58:15] The Job Queue is a way for mediawiki to run large update jobs in the background. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue [21:01:42] Thanks, will read now! [21:10:50] Have read, yet I cannot catch, how may I set a job? [21:12:50] It's been done automatically [21:14:20] Well, it will be done as soon as someone opens the page, yes? [21:14:33] Depends on how many pages etc need to be modified [21:15:07] About 2600 pages. [21:15:18] It'd probably take a lot of page views then [21:15:26] Be easier to run the job processing script yourself [21:15:34] Which script? [21:15:52] Or keywords to search for it? [21:18:00] runJobs.php [21:54:27] Reedy: would you be able to review https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/392568/ ? Its a regression from the security release and id like to get it deployed before the thangsgiving deployment freeze [22:27:14] someone here? [22:27:15] Hi migdinny, I am here, if you need anything, please ask, otherwise no one is going to help you... Thank you [22:27:28] anyone? [22:27:38] !ask | migdinny [22:27:38] migdinny: Please feel free to ask your question: if anybody who knows the answer is around, they will surely reply. Don't ask for help or for attention before actually asking your question, that's just a waste of time – both yours and everybody else's. :) [22:28:30] im new here. i am on Phabricator and i wish to try to solve the bugs people are claiming there [22:28:37] how can i do it? where is the source-code? [22:30:58] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker might help you. [22:31:41] thank you!! [22:32:04] how can i create a system like wikia where others can create there own wiki on my server
