[19:36:13] <FreeBDSM>	 hello
[19:37:06] <FreeBDSM>	 is there a howto/config on how to configure mediawiki to be served on root path with nginx?
[19:37:58] <FreeBDSM>	 nvm, looks like I just found it
[19:52:07] <FreeBDSM>	 does mediawiki need git?
[19:54:36] <douglas>	 it doesn't need it, no
[19:54:43] <douglas>	 you can get it as a tarball
[19:54:55] <douglas>	 other distribution methods are also available
[19:55:04] <FreeBDSM>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_nginx_rewrite--root_access says `Add the following lines to the end of your LocalSettings.php file: ...` - is this correct path for that file? `extensions/MultimediaViewer/tests/browser/LocalSettings.php`
[19:55:12] <FreeBDSM>	 douglas: no, I meant for it to work
[19:56:17] <FreeBDSM>	 does it use process control (php module 'pcntl)?
[19:56:26] <FreeBDSM>	 and does it really require python3?
[19:56:44] <douglas>	 your LocalSettings.php is usually in the base directory of your wiki (i.e. the same place as the README)
[19:56:56] <FreeBDSM>	 douglas: no such file there
[19:58:18] <FreeBDSM>	 also, tarball distribution is weird, why would I need stuff like composer.json? should I manually install stuff from compozer?
[21:10:14] <FreeBDSM>	 Git version control software not found. You can ignore this for now. Note Special:Version will not display commit hashes.
[21:43:22] <harmaahylje>	 FreeBDSM: what did you do to get that?
[21:47:51] <FreeBDSM>	 harmaahylje: initiated install wizard
[21:52:37] <FreeBDSM>	 where does mediawiki use $wgServer?
[21:52:54] <FreeBDSM>	 IMO this option should be gone
[21:53:10] <FreeBDSM>	 the application doesn't need to know which host it serves
[21:53:27] <FreeBDSM>	 I might want to address the same wiki via a set of FQDNs
[21:53:54] <FreeBDSM>	 and I want all the links be relative to the FQDN I got them from
[22:05:58] <Vulpix>	 The original HTTP/1.1 specification required an absolute URI on HTTP redirects. However, in 2014 this requirement was lifted on the new specification. I guess nobody has complained until now
[22:09:18] <Vulpix>	 However, there may be other things that need to know which is the server name. For example, sending mails with links to the wiki on watchlist notifications, PDF rendering... all of them may be generated from outside of the webserver, by a maintenance script
[22:13:29] <harmaahylje>	 you might want to make sure that the url matches
[22:15:22] <Vulpix>	 A consistent absolute URI is also required for <meta rel=canonical>
[22:35:39] <FreeBDSM>	 Vulpix: I don't mind if visiting domainA would generate pages with absolute links and <meta> b/s
[22:52:31] <FreeBDSM>	 okay, how to create a new goddamn page?
[22:53:46] <FreeBDSM>	 oh my god https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page
[22:54:09] <FreeBDSM>	 the fact that such a page exists - is a very bad sign
[22:55:42] <rom1504>	 why
