[12:48:43] Hi,, I get this error https://pastebin.com/DHcfY1bf when trying to run php deleteOldRevisions.php maintenance scipts, it is on Debian. The server owner used symlinks to set it up [12:49:29] There are two mediawiki installs on the server, one at usr/share/mediawiki/ and forgot where the other one is [12:52:47] can you try with --conf /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php instead of --conf=/usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php [12:53:31] Same error [12:53:56] hmmm [12:54:03] does /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php exist? [12:54:27] Oddly, enough, it appears on ls but not when I try open it with cat [12:54:49] cat: /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php: No such file or directory [12:55:43] if ls shows it, what does ls -l /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php output? [12:56:13] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Dec 17 18:30 /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php -> /var/lib/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php [12:56:41] does /var/lib/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php exist? [12:56:57] cat: /var/lib/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php: No such file or directory [12:57:27] that's your problem then. /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php is a symlink to a nonexistent file [12:58:01] I am not sure how to fix thar without messing up twop (working) nwikis [12:58:51] I have no idea where the localsettings.php files are or how they are working without localsettings.php [12:59:11] Majavah, how would I fix that? [13:00:29] is there a reason why you point to a specific localsettings path instead of letting mediawiki find that? [13:01:05] I don't know, as my freind set up the wikis and he vanished for 2 weeks, hence taking stuff into my own hands and trying to run the stuff muself [13:02:30] why are you even trying to run that destructive maintenance script? [13:03:14] I would rather not say sorry, please tell me how to fix my probalm [13:04:20] you can try just not specifying a path to localsettings at all, but that has the risk of finding a wrong file if you have a non-standard setup [13:05:03] i'd get it working with something less destructive first before testing with destructive things [13:05:17] same error, and only enough, in the /home/bp/mediawiki/ folder has no localsettings php [13:06:10] you need to find a working localsettings somewhere [13:09:17] Tried running in /var/lib and got this: https://pastebin.com/iNmPTggh [13:10:20] It seems oddly, that there is some localsettings working enough for my wikis to run normally (as they are not acting odd) [17:19:17] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2400:4052:2C80:4600:C52C:35BD:EEDA:EA30 [17:19:23] someone block + nuke? [17:19:27] seems off topic [17:21:56] why do this seems so like isechika, a jawp LTA...but they don't use IPs...odd [17:48:20] Cohaf: I don't see any edits? [17:48:34] nor anything deleted [17:48:57] seems done by Leaderboard... [17:49:26] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=20003153 [17:49:28] or clump? [17:49:50] the pattern fits LTA ISECHIKA to some extent [17:50:04] both deleted a few threads [17:50:21] so just flow being weird when it doesnt show up in DeletedContribs? [17:50:45] ah, didn't know [17:50:54] maybe? [17:50:59] interesting... [17:51:31] Flow being weird? [17:51:32] Never [23:23:18] Hello, how to fix [23:23:18] this error in MediaWiki 1.35.1? [23:23:20] Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: 6) Couldn't resolve host name
