[00:40:59] hi, I changed password to access the DB, can I fix/update it somehow from the php side? [00:41:35] note: not user password, but DB self [00:45:08] jcay: the password mediawiki uses would be in LocalSettings.php [00:47:04] bawolff: thanks [01:00:07] wooh, working, thank you again! [01:00:42] Glad to help :) [01:00:51] :) [11:52:56] hi all...after upgrading to 1.31.3 version of mediawiki i'm getting "Requested url not found error " while accessing home page [11:53:48] the requested URL /index.php/Welcome_to_Novapedia was not found on this server [11:53:52] can some help [12:24:53] hi...need help on mediawiki post upgrade issue.....requested URL not found on server [12:46:29] sri89: Hi! this usually means you renamed or deleted a folder in your webserver where the files should be. Maybe you installed on a different path of the server? [12:54:36] Vulpix i installed in the parent directory where old installation was present [12:54:59] and the moved the LocalSettings file and other files [12:55:07] no other changes [12:58:16] sri89: can you double-check that the published folder in the webserver is the one that contains MediaWiki files (and not a subdirectory or parent one)? [12:58:41] Also, the error log on the server may tell you the physical path where it's expecting to find the requested index.php file [13:42:24] @vul [13:42:36] @vulpix [13:42:49] Now it says Can't reach site [13:43:36] sri89: this means your entire webserver is down [13:45:44] started the service....now back to URL /index.php was not found on this server [13:48:57] can you tell me what should be the path for installation upgradation [13:49:11] installation or upgradation [13:49:22] Vulpix [13:51:57] You should figure out what is the filesystem folder that maps the URL of the webserver... Did you configure it? [13:53:23] it was already configured....i'm upgrading mediawiki....can ypu help on the paths [13:53:42] how to figure out the existing paths [13:56:33] If it was already configured, you only need to be sure that you have put the new files in the exact same folder where the original index.php file was [13:58:06] what webserver software are you using? apache? nginx? [13:59:14] previosly index.php and localsettings.php were present in /var/www/html/devwiki driectory [13:59:46] i installed new version in html directory and renamed the directory to devwiki [14:00:12] copied localsetting.php file from old to new directory [14:00:26] still its not working [14:01:16] can i delete everything from html directory and install again new version [14:01:33] will that impact anything [14:04:51] just be sure to have a backup of the files before deleting them, just in case you'll need them [14:05:02] ok [14:05:22] So basically, you have an index.php file inside /var/www/html/devwiki/ ? [14:05:28] yes [14:08:05] do i need to configure this path somewhere to point the index.php file [14:09:41] what webserver software are you using? apache? nginx? [14:09:50] apache [14:10:35] php 7.0 mysql 5.5.6 mediawiki from 1.28 to 1.31.3 [14:10:55] maybe there was an .htaccess file in the folder before, that is now missing, which configured something about this. Note that .htacess file is usually hidden (because it starts with a dot) [14:12:08] only one line code was there in .htaccess file [14:12:25] somethng like disable by default [14:12:36] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5891802/how-do-i-change-the-root-directory-of-an-apache-server [14:30:43] did everything but still not working [14:34:20] removed every thing and kept only previos version with no change it paths....still previos version is aslo not worikng...is it bcause of compatibilty with mysql and php [17:04:43] Hi there. I installed the DPL 3rd pasrty extension but it doesn't render properly: Template:Extension DPL{|class="wikitable" ! HEADER ! HEADER ! HEADER|- |Astrologer | ... I cannot modify the template I get The revision #0 of the page named "Template:Extension DPL" does not exist. [17:04:53] Version 1.33 [17:12:10] Apparently, that extension hasn't been made compatible with MediaWiki 1.33 yet [17:17:11] Ohhhh. Thanks Vulpix! So is it easy to upgrade if I choose to start over and use 1.32? [17:17:21] (I just tried DPL3 too, doesn't work) [17:19:37] well, DPL3 should work, at least if it's the one being used on Wikimedia [17:21:03] Vulpix ok thanks, I'll flush and redoo my install and try directly with DPL3 [17:22:19] Well, or at least that's said on the 3rd party DPL page, but the thing is that I don't see in what WMF wiki is being used. At least not in the most important ones. This may indicate it's also not compatible with 1.33 [17:23:00] So I should probably stick with 1.32. 1.33 might be too recent [17:37:14] VulpixI love you it's working :P [17:37:18] Vulpix [17:37:33] no idea why I didn't think of that before asking XD [17:58:34] no problem. Probably nowhere says it's not working on latest version
