Yay transition network! :-)
and 3 month ago it was upgraded to MediaWiki 1.22.x and the VisualEditor was installed from source and that was quite straight forward, details here:
Yesterday I upgraded to MediaWiki 1.23.0 and switched to using the Debian repo for parsoid as per:
And since then I have been unable to get the VisualEditor working, when you click on 'Edit' nothing happens, looking at the HTTP requests there is a GET to load.php and a 304 in response but nothing actually happens in the web browser, I have tried with Firefox 30 and the Debian Wheezy Chromium.
Did you upgrade the visual editor as well?
If you did, then the version of VE that works with MW 1.23.0 requires you to install the Parsoid extension as well. See https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:VisualEditor&oldid... This is to load some css and styling resources that VE needs.
These styles have since been moved to core (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/130770/) and the parsoid extension is no longer necessary, but the styles are not available in MW 1.23.0.
The other thought I had (since I made this mistake recently and was baffled for a while) was if you installed VE from git, then make sure that after pulling the latest version of VE, you also install VE submodules via git submodule update --init.
Subbu.
