[00:01:49] <Platonides>	 Gh0sty: you probably have a syntax error at the beginning
[00:01:56] <Platonides>	 that is producing those failures later
[00:02:10] <Platonides>	 a missing ; perhaps
[00:03:17] <Gh0sty>	 yeah just figured that
[00:03:27] <Gh0sty>	 already found a mistake by commenting some stuff
[00:03:41] <Gh0sty>	 doesn't quite work yet but this has more to do with plugins now :p
[00:04:11] <Skizzerz>	 I'd suggest doing what Reedy said; post the file in a pastebin and redact passwords / secret keys
[00:04:44] <Skizzerz>	 those lines you commented are almost definitely *not* junk and may be required for proper wiki operation
[00:04:56] <Platonides>	 yes, you should uncomment them
[00:05:14] <Gh0sty>	 yeah yeah found already that part... sorry that was my mistake :) 
[00:05:26] <Gh0sty>	 now disabling most extensions that dont exist anymore
[00:05:59] <Gh0sty>	 trying to work out if I can get this thing hauled over from the stone age to the current version without too much hustle... then I'll have a look at plugins again :P
[00:06:18] <Platonides>	 that's the right step
[00:06:24] <Gh0sty>	 thing like #test by Gunter 20060526 frighten me :p
[00:06:28] <Platonides>	 make it work without plugins, then go updating them
[00:06:29] <Gh0sty>	 I opened pandoras box :D 
[00:06:34] <Platonides>	 ?
[00:06:43] <Platonides>	 what's "#test by Gunter 20060526" ?
[00:06:58] <Gh0sty>	 some comments in there... but that date though :D 
[00:07:01] <Skizzerz>	 given you're upgrading from 1.13 I'd actually suggest getting a fresh, new LocalSettings.php
[00:07:39] <Skizzerz>	 temporarily rename it to something else, go to the web installer and install a fresh mediawiki to some other database, and save off that LocalSettings. Then copy modifications you made from the old LocalSettings to the new one (and fix the db name/credentials)
[00:07:49] <Skizzerz>	 a lot of things changed in LocalSettings since then
[00:08:15] <Skizzerz>	 (you can delete the extraneous db afterwards)
[00:08:34] <Gh0sty>	 alright 
[00:08:39] <Gh0sty>	 upgrading the db :p
[00:08:43] <Gh0sty>	 *crosses fingers* 
[00:10:54] <Gh0sty>	 especially wondering if the whole thing will just work with the change to php 7 and the upgrade... or it will just burn hard :) 
[00:11:18] <Platonides>	 it *should*
[00:11:31] <Platonides>	 (work)
[00:12:35] <Reedy>	 As long as you're on a newer version, PHP 7 will be fine
[00:12:44] <Reedy>	 On older versions, potential of various issues
[00:15:52] <Gh0sty>	 I see something
[00:15:59] <Gh0sty>	 but the skins I need to fix first
[00:17:43] <Gh0sty>	 at first glance it's working flawlessly :o 
[00:24:00] <Gh0sty>	 Product 	Version
[00:24:00] <Gh0sty>	 MediaWiki 	1.34.0
[00:24:00] <Gh0sty>	 PHP 	7.3.15 (apache2handler)
[00:24:01] <Gh0sty>	 MariaDB 	5.5.64-MariaDB
[00:24:05] <Gh0sty>	 excellent :D
[00:25:18] <Gh0sty>	 there was a bunch of debugging enabled on that thing for "profiling" according to the comments ... somewhere in 2009 a guy that i know worked at the company till last year ... 
[00:25:33] <Gh0sty>	 that gunther from 2006 I have no idea who that is / was :D 
[08:39:10] <steven7255>	 Hi, is there a quick and easy way to identify dead links?
[11:51:44] <roadie>	 steven7255: fwiw, I use integrity on macos - http://peacockmedia.co.uk/integrity/ then there is link sleuth for windows from 2010... - http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html 
[11:53:05] <roadie>	 maybe https://github.com/gajus/deadlink is useful ...
[11:54:21] <roadie>	 last not least: wget --spider  -o wget.log  -e robots=off --wait 1 -r -p http://www.example.com
[12:16:57] <jukebohi>	 Thank you for the awesome and reliable Mediawiki and the free support. Big thanks!
[13:52:34] <steven7255>	 roadie tahnk you. Will check it.
[13:56:27] <nikhil07>	 Hi. I have just install and configured mediawiki software through git. I want to check installed extensions. But the page localhost/WIKINAME/Special:Version responds with an error of "Not Found". Can anyone help me with this issue.
[14:34:16] <Krinkle>	 nikhil07: do you use Apache or a different server? What happens when you go to localhost/ plainly?
[14:36:33] <nikhil07>	 Krinkle: I figured it out. Everything was correct, except for the URL. It should have been localhost/WIKINAME/index.php/Special:Version instead of localhost/WIKINAME/Special:Version.
[14:36:42] <nikhil07>	 Anyways thanks...
[14:53:35] <Krinkle>	 nikhil07: aha yes. The script path vs article path.
[14:54:30] <Krinkle>	 article path is something you can enable via an htaccess rewrite rule, to have shorter/nicer urls for articles
[14:55:31] <Krinkle>	 For example, /wiki/Name then internally behaves as if it was /mw/index.php?title=Name
[18:13:01] <Schleumpse>	 Hi ! I have a question, and i don't find the answer on the web. After modifiying the LocalSettings.php, how do I apply the change ? Do you need to restart a process or something like this ?
[18:13:47] <Reedy>	 No
[18:13:49] <Reedy>	 Just save it
[18:14:14] <Schleumpse>	 Hum, i must have failed :p
[18:14:15] <Schleumpse>	 Thanks ! :)
[18:20:45] <Schleumpse>	 I want to change the logo, but it doesn't seems to work...
[18:21:04] <Schleumpse>	 Can i paste my settings here and someone check ?
[18:21:56] <Reedy>	 Could be browser cache?
[18:22:00] <Reedy>	 Hard refresh
[18:23:00] <Schleumpse>	 Nope :/
[18:23:15] <Schleumpse>	 Even in a new private window :/
[18:36:23] <Vulpix>	 Schleumpse: You can inspect the logo with the browser console and see if the value is applied (maybe the URL is wrong)
[18:36:46] <Schleumpse>	 That's what i'm trying, thanks :)
[18:47:21] <Schleumpse>	 background-image: url(/wiki/resources/assets/wiki.png?de8c8);
[18:47:45] <Schleumpse>	 This is my value. I compared it to the mediawiki logo, it looks like it shouldn't be that ^^'
[18:53:48] <Skizzerz>	 Schleumpse: how did you change the logo?
[18:54:28] <Schleumpse>	 I added the image on the wiki, then modified the _LocalSettings.php
[18:54:45] <Skizzerz>	 no underscore in front in case that's your problem
[18:54:53] <Skizzerz>	 but what was the exact configuration you used in LocalSettings?
[18:55:56] <Schleumpse>	 What do you mean ? The code is
[18:56:06] <Schleumpse>	 $wgScriptPath = "/wiki";$wgLogo = $wgScriptPath . '/images/9/98/Logo_WIKI.png'; 
[18:57:53] <Skizzerz>	 that looks fine
[18:58:05] <Skizzerz>	 Schleumpse: try restarting the web server
[18:58:11] <Skizzerz>	 you may have opcode caching configured
[18:58:18] <Schleumpse>	 Maybe !
[18:58:33] <Schleumpse>	 It wasn't installed by me. How can i restart it ? :)
[18:59:06] <Skizzerz>	 do you have root access to the server?
[18:59:50] <Schleumpse>	 Nope, i'll ask for it when possible !
[19:01:47] <Skizzerz>	 ok, we can try something else: edit LocalSettings.php again, and add exit; on the line right under the <?php
[19:01:49] <Skizzerz>	 then save
[19:02:07] <Skizzerz>	 then reload the wiki; it *should* become a blank white page
[19:02:26] <Skizzerz>	 if you still see the wiki itself, then either you are editing the wrong LocalSettings.php, or some level of caching is in effect
[19:03:12] <Skizzerz>	 (if you do see the blank white page, then you can remove that line)
[19:06:36] <Skizzerz>	 Schleumpse: what are the results of the above?
[19:06:59] <Schleumpse>	 Let me try ! :)
[19:08:03] <Schleumpse>	 Yes, blank page ! So, no need to reset, right ?
[19:08:04] <bawolff>	 Check also that you don't have two $wgLogo lines in your LocalSettings.php
[19:08:47] <Schleumpse>	 SMart :p
[19:09:26] <bawolff>	 And also, that the line isn't commented out, or anything like that
[19:09:42] <bawolff>	 You'd be surprised how often it ends up being something like that
[19:09:44] <Schleumpse>	 Yes, you are a fuckin genius !!!
[19:09:58] <Schleumpse>	 Or i'm justs stupid
[19:10:03] <Schleumpse>	 Thanks a lot tho !!! :D
[19:10:25] <bawolff>	 No worries, its a mistake a lot of people make :)
[19:11:06] <Skizzerz>	 Schleumpse: glad you got it resolved, and now you know why there's the instructions in LocalSettings to add all custom configuration to the *end* of the file :)
[19:11:54] <Skizzerz>	 (that said, still better not to duplicate configuration since that just makes it more confusing down the road)
