[00:54:59] <ShadowReine>	 I broke my wiki. Anyone around got time to help me out?
[01:01:51] <Yaron>	 ShadowReine: what error message do you see?

[01:11:50] <ShadowReine>	 Did that get through?
[01:12:33] <Platonides>	 ShadowReine: ended in "Exception.php on line 285"
[01:12:36] <Platonides>	 so I guess it did
[01:12:42] <ShadowReine>	 Okay.
[01:13:06] <Platonides>	 update mediawiki?
[01:14:11] <ShadowReine>	 I’m trying to get Mediawiki to load the database from my old comp, fresh installs of MAMP and Mediawiki.
[01:17:10] <ShadowReine>	 So…any thoughts at all? I rather need this working :/.
[01:18:52] <Platonides>	 which mediawiki version is this?
[01:19:07] <Platonides>	 seems you are using an old mediawiki with a modern php
[01:19:36] <refeed[m]>	 I think there are some people which also had the same problem https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tazthc8drqv4sexr
[01:19:54] <Platonides>	 I don't know what MAMP is, but it could be bundling an old mediawiki version, too
[01:19:57] <ShadowReine>	 I thought I downloaded and installed the most recent version.
[01:20:11] <Platonides>	 although bundling a version incompatible with itself seems silly...
[01:20:20] <ShadowReine>	 Can somebody give me the most recent number to verify?
[01:20:32] <Platonides>	 1.30.0
[01:20:41] <Platonides>	 released a month ago
[01:20:51] <ShadowReine>	 Okay, I am not using the most recent version. Let’s try that fix.
[01:21:14] <ShadowReine>	 I must have somehow navigated to a bad page.
[01:21:34] <ShadowReine>	 Oh wait, that’s not where I’m looking…but let’s reinstall anyway.
[01:24:43] <ShadowReine>	 Oh, I see the problem. What it’s trying to restore is the entire wiki, I just need the database.
[01:25:18] <ShadowReine>	 Anyone know of a good walk through for that?
[01:27:08] <ShadowReine>	 Sorry to be so difficult. My usual superuser is too busy to help.
[01:38:11] <ShadowReine>	 Help? This is like…some of my business’ important data and such.
[01:48:11] <ShadowReine>	 Okay, I tried moving just the wiki database to the new mysql and running update.php. Still getting database connection refused.
[01:55:02] <ShadowReine>	 Okay, apparently…I need to get a copy of 1.5.
[01:55:20] <ShadowReine>	 Wait no.
[01:56:04] <ShadowReine>	 I wonder what this actually means as it’s telling me to update to a newer version than the version.
[01:56:57] <ShadowReine>	 Okay. So, I think the problem is I can’t one step upgrade from 1.16 to 1.3. Is that correct, and if so what interim version should I get?
[02:01:30] <ShadowReine>	 Ugh. Apparently tonight is a bad time to get help.
[02:05:04] <ShadowReine>	 Oh, I see, 1.5 means 1.05, so it SHOULD have worked.
[02:06:38] <ShadowReine>	 *tries sudoing*
[02:07:15] <ShadowReine>	 Nope.
[02:15:57] <ShadowReine>	 Hrm. Let’s try doing it this way…
[02:17:19] <ShadowReine>	 Ugh. I can’t remember the database username.
[02:20:02] <ShadowReine>	 Is there a way to retrieve it?
[02:22:57] <ShadowReine>	 Crap. I found it in localsettings, but it doesn’t say it’s valid.
[02:23:30] <ShadowReine>	 I can’t lose my entire wiki. I can’t. That’s like…too much.
[02:27:46] <ShadowReine>	 I really need help :/.
[02:33:23] <ShadowReine>	 Maybe doing a reconfig with an existing database isn’t actually possible?
[02:40:32] <ShadowReine>	 Oh well. Apparently no help to be had tonight, no help to be had on the internet in general...
[03:07:39] <PuppyKun>	 ShadowReine: resetting the database pass is easy if you have root access
[03:08:10] <PuppyKun>	 oh username
[03:08:10] <PuppyKun>	 uh
[03:08:22] <ShadowReine>	 True, but the thing is, I know the username and password are correct, so I think something else is going on.
[03:09:03] <PuppyKun>	 uh, networking enabled? using the permission table enabled?
[03:09:35] <ShadowReine>	 It’s all local.
[03:24:06] <ShadowReine>	 I got some help except for not being able to find where MAMP puts mysqldump
[03:29:10] <ShadowReine>	 *throws things* It’s telling me the mysqldump command is not found when I can SEE it right there.
[03:36:30] <ShadowReine>	 Hopefully I’m making progress.
[03:54:37] <ShadowReine>	 Nope. Made a dump, transferred it, tried to extract, not taking the password I *used to make the dump*
[04:03:34] <ShadowReine>	 I…gods…I wish MediaWiki wasn’t so useful right now.
[04:25:51] <ShadowReine>	 …I give up. NOTHING is making this work.
[04:27:55] <Skizzerz>	 ShadowReine: 1.16 -> 1.23 (on PHP 5), then upgrade to PHP 7 and do 1.23 -> 1.30
[04:27:59] <Skizzerz>	 note that 1.30 is not the same as 1.3
[04:28:07] <Skizzerz>	 think of the . as a separator, not a decimal point
[04:28:14] <Skizzerz>	 there are 27 versions between 1.3 and 1.30
[04:28:45] <ShadowReine>	 MAMP.
[04:29:04] <ShadowReine>	 I have no clue what PHP version I have, and I am not trying anything but MAMP, did THAT before.
[04:29:12] <Skizzerz>	 also not using macOS is probably going to be helpful in this endeavor
[04:29:26] <ShadowReine>	 Well, that’s what I have.
[04:30:02] <Skizzerz>	 the thing is, if your MAMP has PHP 7, old versions of mediawiki (e.g. 1.16) will straight-up not work
[04:30:18] <Skizzerz>	 if that's the case, you'll need to install an older version of MAMP to proceed
[04:30:27] <ShadowReine>	 I dumped the DB and reloaded it.
[04:30:34] <Skizzerz>	 k
[04:30:46] <ShadowReine>	 I am not trying to use 1.16.
[04:30:52] <Skizzerz>	 what version is the database currently at?
[04:30:54] <ShadowReine>	 I am trying to use 1.30.
[04:31:02] <ShadowReine>	 1.30, in theory, I ran update and everything.
[04:31:11] <Skizzerz>	 and update.php succeeded?
[04:31:24] <ShadowReine>	 It didn’t fail.
[04:31:33] <Skizzerz>	 ...right
[04:31:52] <ShadowReine>	 Well, that’s all I can tell. I ran it, it didn’t error out.
[04:31:55] <Skizzerz>	 so you updated the database, you have the 1.30 files accessible from the web, so what's the problem?
[04:32:05] <ShadowReine>	 It can’t connect to the database.
[04:32:07] <Skizzerz>	 at this point, since the problem described earlier seems to no longer be valid?
[04:32:11] <Skizzerz>	 ok
[04:32:15] <Skizzerz>	 can YOU connect to the db as root?
[04:32:41] <ShadowReine>	 Not quite sure how to do that.
[04:32:47] <Skizzerz>	 running mysql as sudo should do the trick
[04:32:49] <Skizzerz>	 in terminal
[04:32:56] <Skizzerz>	 sudo mysql -uroot
[04:33:14] <ShadowReine>	 Root isn’t enabled. Hold on.
[04:33:26] <Skizzerz>	 you don't need the root account enabled in macOS
[04:33:43] <Skizzerz>	 there's a root user in mysql which is separate from the root account, and sudo should work even with the root account disabled
[04:33:52] <Skizzerz>	 if you really need to enable it though, I guess go for it
[04:33:55] <ShadowReine>	 Well, the error I’m getting when I try to do that is “access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’
[04:34:03] <Skizzerz>	 ok, hmm
[04:34:26] <ShadowReine>	 I’ve been banging my head against this for hours, tried all sorts of things and everything coes back to “Cannot connect to database”
[04:34:31] <Skizzerz>	 try sudo mysqladmin -u root password SOMETHINGHERE
[04:34:38] <Skizzerz>	 that will reset the root mysql password to SOMETHINGHERE
[04:34:46] <Skizzerz>	 then you can log in with mysql -uroot -p
[04:34:48] <ShadowReine>	 I know the root mysql password
[04:34:51] <Skizzerz>	 and type SOMETHINGHERE in the password prompt
[04:34:51] <Skizzerz>	 oh
[04:34:53] <ShadowReine>	 Aha. Okay.
[04:35:08] <ShadowReine>	 I needed the -p
[04:35:15] <ShadowReine>	 That got me to a mysql prompt
[04:35:18] <Skizzerz>	 awesome
[04:35:41] <ShadowReine>	 So, what does that tell us about the issue?
[04:36:08] <Skizzerz>	 now do SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user;
[04:36:23] <Skizzerz>	 check to see if the user set in LocalSettings.php is listed in there or not
[04:37:11] <Skizzerz>	 (the semicolon at the end is important, otherwise it'll keep prompting you with new lines)
[04:37:32] <ShadowReine>	 Not.
[04:37:40] <Skizzerz>	 ok
[04:37:44] <ShadowReine>	 Hold on, let me try something.
[04:37:55] <Skizzerz>	 now type CREATE USER username IDENTIFIED BY password;
[04:38:04] <Skizzerz>	 where username and password match the username and password in your LocalSettings.php
[04:38:40] <Skizzerz>	 after that, type GRANT ALL ON wikidb.* TO username@localhost; (where wikidb is the database name, and username is the user you just created -- leave localhost as is)
[04:38:49] <ShadowReine>	 ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'jrpwikipass' at line 1'
[04:38:57] <Skizzerz>	 hmm
[04:38:58] <Skizzerz>	 oh
[04:38:59] <ShadowReine>	 Oops. Ah well.
[04:39:07] <Skizzerz>	 maybe CREATE USER username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY password; ?
[04:39:13] <Skizzerz>	 I forgot the host bit
[04:39:28] <Skizzerz>	 and password probably needs to be quoted in single quotes
[04:39:36] <Skizzerz>	 e.g. if your password is blah, IDENTIFIED BY 'blah';
[04:40:15] <Skizzerz>	 (going from memory here, which is spotty sometimes :P)
[04:40:16] <ShadowReine>	 That was the problem.
[04:40:34] <Skizzerz>	 ok now run that grant statement
[04:40:44] <ShadowReine>	 Done.
[04:40:49] <Skizzerz>	 and then try running the update.php maintenance script one more time for good measure (type exit; to leave the prompt)
[04:41:10] <ShadowReine>	 Okay...
[04:41:17] <Skizzerz>	 after that try loading up your wiki
[04:41:22] <ShadowReine>	 Nope.
[04:41:33] <Skizzerz>	 same error?
[04:42:06] <Skizzerz>	 or what's the error message on the wiki?
[04:42:08] <ShadowReine>	 Yup.
[04:42:21] <Skizzerz>	 the exact message (don't need stack traces, just the message)
[04:42:27] <ShadowReine>	 Cannot access the database: Connection refused
[04:42:35] <Skizzerz>	 ok
[04:42:50] <Skizzerz>	 in your LocalSettings.php what is your database host set to?
[04:43:07] <ShadowReine>	 You mean the database name?
[04:43:09] <Skizzerz>	 $wgDBserver
[04:43:16] <ShadowReine>	 127.0.0.1
[04:43:23] <Skizzerz>	 try making it 'localhost' instead
[04:44:12] <ShadowReine>	 That changed the error.
[04:44:13] <ShadowReine>	 MediaWiki internal error.
[04:44:13] <ShadowReine>	 Original exception: [3f1407dbe5a1330a9e9a5d68] 2018-01-13 04:44:01: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError"
[04:44:14] <ShadowReine>	 Exception caught inside exception handler.
[04:44:15] <ShadowReine>	 Set $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.
[04:45:12] <Skizzerz>	 ok do what that says (add  $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; to LocalSettings.php at the bottom)
[04:45:49] <Skizzerz>	 that will create a lot of output
[04:46:10] <ShadowReine>	 It did.
[04:46:12] <Skizzerz>	 you should pastebin it somewhere (such as https://dpaste.de )
[04:48:07] <ShadowReine>	 It’s pretty much saying I didn’t run update.php. Except I did, twice.
[04:48:22] <Skizzerz>	 yeah but you ran it back when the db settings were messed up in LocalSettings/the db
[04:48:25] <Skizzerz>	 now run it again a third time
[04:48:38] <Skizzerz>	 it should count down from 5 seconds and then say "applied blah to blah" about 250 times
[04:49:14] <ShadowReine>	 Nope, it’s erroring.
[04:49:19] <Skizzerz>	 update.php is?
[04:49:24] <ShadowReine>	 [00e2497d1ef4e985893de486] [no req]   Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnectionError from line 800 of /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wiki/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: Cannot access the database: No such file or directory (localhost)

[04:49:40] <Skizzerz>	 Sigyn doesn't like that
[04:49:46] <ShadowReine>	 My apologies.
[04:49:57] <Skizzerz>	 (Sigyn is a bot that will automatically ban you from freenode if you're too spammy)
[04:50:52] <Skizzerz>	 that error seems nonsensical :(
[04:50:54] <ShadowReine>	 So, what the heck do I try now?
[04:51:01] <Skizzerz>	 try the web updater
[04:51:14] <Skizzerz>	 go to /mw-config in your wiki
[04:51:27] <Skizzerz>	 e.g. if your wiki is localhost/wiki/index.php, then go to localhost/wiki/mw-config/
[04:51:47] <Skizzerz>	 it may ask for an upgrade key, if so, copy/paste it from $wgUpgradeKey in LocalSettings.php
[04:51:56] <Skizzerz>	 (just the value inside the quotes, not the full thing)
[04:52:23] <ShadowReine>	 Safari cannot connect to the server “localhost"
[04:52:36] <ShadowReine>	 Oh, wait, duh. They changed something I keep forgetting.
[04:52:38] <Skizzerz>	 that was an example, you'll need to set the URL appropriately for your install
[04:54:09] <Skizzerz>	 if that STILL doesn't work, you may need to modify your php.ini file
[04:54:35] <ShadowReine>	 That gave me a blank database. I mean, wiki is running, no data present.
[04:54:56] <Skizzerz>	 uh
[04:55:06] <ShadowReine>	 The database is still, like, present.
[04:55:08] <Skizzerz>	 ???????
[04:55:19] <Skizzerz>	 like a blank white page with no content?
[04:55:21] <ShadowReine>	 But all I get on the main page is “MediaWiki has been installed."
[04:55:27] <ShadowReine>	 No, the default for there is no database.
[04:55:42] <Skizzerz>	 hmm
[04:55:43] <Skizzerz>	 ok
[04:55:59] <Skizzerz>	 let's try to figure out the socket thing then
[04:56:10] <ShadowReine>	 I think it just hates me :P.
[04:56:25] <ShadowReine>	 Last time I had to transfer my wiki it was bad, but I am pretty sure it wasn’t THIS bad.
[04:56:27] <Skizzerz>	 look in your MAMP install for the file my.cnf
[04:56:53] <Skizzerz>	 might be something like /Applications/MAMP/mysql/my.cnf
[04:57:01] <ShadowReine>	 Found it.
[04:57:12] <Skizzerz>	 near the top of that file, there should be a line that says socket = /something/goes/here
[04:57:26] <Skizzerz>	 copy or make a note of that socket path
[04:57:33] <Skizzerz>	 then close the file
[04:57:42] <Skizzerz>	 (you aren't changing anything there)
[04:57:45] <ShadowReine>	 okay.
[04:57:52] <Skizzerz>	 then go to your php.ini file
[04:58:43] <Skizzerz>	 look for the lines mysql.default_socket and mysqli.default_socket
[04:58:52] <ShadowReine>	 Okay, so…MAMP has…ugh *pokes at it*
[04:58:52] <Skizzerz>	 and set the value for each of them to that path you copied from my.cnf
[04:59:14] <ShadowReine>	 Like 50 php versions in it.
[04:59:20] <Skizzerz>	 uh
[04:59:36] <Skizzerz>	 that seems odd
[04:59:50] <Skizzerz>	 but not insurmountable
[05:00:01] <Skizzerz>	 from the terminal, do php --version
[05:00:14] <Skizzerz>	 that will tell you what version of PHP is in use when you try to run the update.php script
[05:00:25] <ShadowReine>	 Faster way to do that in mamp, I found it ;).
[05:00:29] <Skizzerz>	 ah
[05:01:15] <Skizzerz>	 after you modify those two lines in php.ini, try running the update.php script one more time, and hopefully it'll work
[05:01:32] <Skizzerz>	 if it does work, restart apache (so that apache can pick up on the changes too) and your wiki should now be accessible
[05:01:37] <ShadowReine>	 It’s already set to that.
[05:01:43] <Skizzerz>	 hmm
[05:01:52] <Skizzerz>	 I think your computer just hates you
[05:01:56] <ShadowReine>	 “Sorry, I’m this like hideous bug magnet.
[05:02:26] <Skizzerz>	 still do the php --version thing then in terminal
[05:02:29] <ShadowReine>	 Unfortunately, giving up is not an option.
[05:02:30] <Skizzerz>	 just to make super sure that it's the same
[05:03:26] <ShadowReine>	 Nope. Same result.
[05:03:40] <Skizzerz>	 sigh
[05:04:18] <Skizzerz>	 ok lets try something else
[05:04:25] <Skizzerz>	 change $wgDBserver back to 127.0.0.1
[05:04:30] <Skizzerz>	 then go and edit that my.cnf file again
[05:05:17] <ShadowReine>	 Didn’t change anything.
[05:05:19] <Skizzerz>	 look for a line that says skip-networking
[05:05:25] <Skizzerz>	 if you find it add a # in front
[05:05:30] <Skizzerz>	 (to comment it out)
[05:05:49] <Skizzerz>	 also make sure you have a line that starts with bind-address
[05:05:55] <Skizzerz>	 if you have it, ensure it's set to 127.0.0.1
[05:06:06] <Skizzerz>	 if you don't, add it in: bind-address = 127.0.0.1
[05:06:16] <Skizzerz>	 put it in the [mysqld] section near the top
[05:06:21] <ShadowReine>	 skip-networking is already commented out.
[05:06:37] <Skizzerz>	 and double-check port is 3306
[05:06:52] <Skizzerz>	 if all of that is already set, try restarting mysql and then running update.php again
[05:07:04] <Skizzerz>	 if it still says "connection refused" then something really weird is going on
[05:07:39] <ShadowReine>	 Connection refused.
[05:07:46] <ShadowReine>	 You have to understand.
[05:07:54] <ShadowReine>	 I will find bugs that happen to nobody else out of MILLIONS of users.
[05:08:13] <Skizzerz>	 this is a config issue
[05:08:19] <Skizzerz>	 not a bug
[05:08:28] <Skizzerz>	 I just can't figure out where the config issue *is*
[05:08:36] <ShadowReine>	 Because it’s somewhere weird because it’s me.
[05:08:51] <Skizzerz>	 is copying the database to a different server not an option?
[05:08:59] <ShadowReine>	 It is not an option.
[05:09:12] <Skizzerz>	 k then
[05:09:26] <Skizzerz>	 in your terminal, msyql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -p
[05:09:32] <Skizzerz>	 see what that spits out
[05:09:41] <Skizzerz>	 er
[05:09:42] <Skizzerz>	 mysql*
[05:09:44] <Skizzerz>	 I typoed :P
[05:09:56] <ShadowReine>	 It’s fine, I read what you meant. Now that gives can’t connect.
[05:10:18] <Skizzerz>	 check your firewall settings
[05:10:23] <ShadowReine>	 It’s all local.
[05:10:26] <Skizzerz>	 yes
[05:10:32] <Skizzerz>	 check them anyway
[05:10:38] <Skizzerz>	 ensure that everything on the loopback interface is allowed
[05:11:06] <ShadowReine>	 Meaning? Mysqld is allowed.
[05:11:10] <Skizzerz>	 (I cannot assist with exactly how to go about doing that)
[05:11:14] <Skizzerz>	 meaning *everything*
[05:11:17] <ShadowReine>	 Which is the only thing it asked.
[05:11:18] <Skizzerz>	 loopback shouldn't be restricted
[05:11:29] <ShadowReine>	 There’s no loopback option.
[05:11:35] <Skizzerz>	 hmm
[05:13:09] <rxy>	 database and tables is on it really?
[05:14:07] <ShadowReine>	 I will note that the firewall settings are identical to the old system so it seems unlikely they’d be causing difficulties.
[05:14:28] <Skizzerz>	 ShadowReine: oh does MAMP have a UI thing?
[05:14:39] <ShadowReine>	 It has some UI stuff.
[05:14:52] <Skizzerz>	 if so look at the mysql settings there
[05:15:04] <Skizzerz>	 ensure that if there is a setting like "Allow local access only" that it is NOT checked
[05:15:05] <ShadowReine>	 It has phpMyAdmin
[05:15:13] <Skizzerz>	 that's irrelevant
[05:15:39] <Skizzerz>	 ok so no on the UI
[05:15:45] <Skizzerz>	 in the directory where you found your my.cnf file
[05:15:58] <ShadowReine>	 No web UI to acces mysql settings, no…oh wait. Hold on.
[05:16:40] <ShadowReine>	 It shows mysqli and mysqlnd
[05:16:48] <Skizzerz>	 that's PHP stuff
[05:16:54] <Skizzerz>	 but that's ok
[05:17:01] <Skizzerz>	 in there does it have an entry for ports?
[05:17:06] <Skizzerz>	 if so, ensure that it is set to 3306
[05:17:13] <Skizzerz>	 and in your my.cnf, ensure that the port is set to 3306
[05:17:33] <Skizzerz>	 if you needed to edit my.cnf, restart the mysql service
[05:18:13] <ShadowReine>	 Port is correct in my.cnf
[05:20:53] <Skizzerz>	 ok at this point I'm out of ideas. My only recommendation is to restore it to a different server. Failing that, completely uninstall and reinstall MAMP (make a backup of your database first using mysqldump)
[05:21:20] <ShadowReine>	 It’s a freaking completely fresh install and I do not have another server to restore it to.
[05:22:08] <Skizzerz>	 so get one? Quite a few providers offer trials for 30 days or whatnot
[05:22:31] <Skizzerz>	 or try installing the stuff outside of using MAMP, idk
[05:22:47] <ShadowReine>	 Can’t add another bill, and doing it outside of MAMP in MacOS is…welp…not something a sane person would do.
[05:23:39] <ShadowReine>	 But if you’re stumped you’re stumped, thanks for trying.
[05:30:28] <ShadowReine>	 ...wait.
[05:30:42] <ShadowReine>	 …okay, this is…this is JUST the kind of thing that happens to me.
[05:30:52] <ShadowReine>	 Somewhere in the dump and restore process? The dang thing added a database prefix.
[05:31:53] <ShadowReine>	 I thiiink.
[05:34:02] <ShadowReine>	 Yup.
[05:34:06] <ShadowReine>	 I never set a prefix.
[05:34:12] <ShadowReine>	 It’s not what I would have set as a prefix.
[05:34:16] <ShadowReine>	 Gremlins, I tell you. Gremlins.
[12:24:14] <jubo2>	 Hello. I have now installed Extension:ConfirmAccount and made a test request for an account. This isn't showing up for my normal sysop-level user. Do I need to make myself Bureaucrat for the new account request to show up?
[12:27:49] <Vulpix>	 jubo2: looking at the extension's page, I see there's a special permission for that only available to bureaucrats by default: "As a bureaucrat (or other user with the confirmaccount permission), browse to Special:ConfirmAccounts"
[12:33:02] <jubo2>	 Vulpix: Going to Special:ConfirmAccounts there is no button to confirm account so I need to add myself to the bureaucrat group or otherwise give confirm account rights
[12:34:13] <Vulpix>	 jubo2: yes, that's what the extension page says
[12:35:37] <jubo2>	 I use this.. seems most risk free option https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CreateAndPromote.php
[12:38:07] <DanielK_WMDE>	 jubo2: yes, that's a good way to promote yourself to some user group
[12:38:42] <jubo2>	 I run 'php createAndPromote.php --bureaucrat --sysop --force Jukeboksi' and it replied "Account exists and nothing to do."
[12:39:07] <jubo2>	 I look if I have bureaucrat rights.
[12:39:58] <jubo2>	 My user groups are "bureaucrat, developer, administrator"
[12:40:50] <jubo2>	 ahh yes.. now I see where I can actually approve the users
[13:03:04] <Gopa>	 I am trying to checkout  in to an older version of mediawiki(1.22) , I couldn't see a remote gerrit in my core folder since I had cloned  from git.
[13:06:44] <Vulpix>	 Gopa: did you follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git ?
[13:12:44] <Gopa>	 Vulpix: yeah. i did it through https method.  I am unable to do git pull. I think its because that I lack a git remote
[13:14:11] <Vulpix>	 you should clone the branch directly, instead of checking out the branch after clone: git clone -b <branch> <remote_repo>
[13:25:27] <Gopa>	 Vulpix: oh! I thought, for switching to 1.22, I could checkout into REL_1.22 and then do 'git pull' 
[14:03:02] <paladox>	 Vulpix the branch was deleted
[14:03:20] <paladox>	 Gopa ^^
[14:03:50] <paladox>	 Gopa you could checkout a tagged release like git checkout 1.22.15
[18:01:49] <Legolas_>	 hi
