Re: [MediaWiki-l] Extension Installer v2.2 on 1.21.x
by Tom Hutchison 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hey Jeroen I got it all sorted out. I think I figured out what I did. I was using the instructions on https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/ExtensionInstaller/blob/master/README.md. The default contents of the json file specifies nothing should be installed, and looks as follows: { "require": { "php": ">=5.3.2" } } When actually the example json file contains: { "require": { "php": ">=5.3.2" }, "config": { "vendor-dir": "../../vendor" }, "extra": { "installer-paths": { "../../extensions/{$name}": ["type:mediawiki-extension"] } } } Then dumb me skipped the step, "Copy the example.json file" which contained the paths for the installation of /vender and /extensions because I focused on the statement, "The default contents of the json file specifies nothing should be installed, and looks as follows:" and nothing else. :) So a quick question, on our production server, we don't use w/. Which would mean, "vendor-dir": "../../vendor" should become "vendor-dir": "../vendor" and the same for ../../extensions, loose the proceeding ../ And will this: if ( is_readable( __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php' ) ) { include_once( __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php' ); } will have to be changed to if ( is_readable( __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php' ) ) { include_once( __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php' ); } for ExtensionInstaller to work because we are only going up one directory since w/ doesn't exist? Maybe serendipity was telling me to throw everything into the /ExtensionInstaller directory because I'll have to edit .htaccess to allow direct calls to /vender through.... Ugh! Take care Tom

Spammed wiki fast rescue service
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Today I found out that a wiki I like (but I don't edit) had started being spammed, from its WikiApiary page: the exponential growth of registered users, but not of active users, was suspect; a look to RecentChanges immediately confirmed that a couple days ago (one) captcha on signup was probably won by the spambots. For those who do MediaWiki consultancy or would like to start, I think there is an opportunity. Few wiki sysadmins go ask help, but putting together some select metrics you could create a page on WikiApiary reporting the wikis whose parameters recently got unhealthy: then go offer an audit and improvement of their antispam setup, before it gets so spammed as to require disinfestation (cleanup) services. Just an idea I throw to get it out my mind, ;-) Nemo

Extension Installer v2.2 on 1.21.x
by Tom Hutchison 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

Hi All Don't know what I missed, but everything appeared to run right from the command line. I was trying to install subpagelist v1.0. I installed composer in the ExtensionInstaller v2.2 directory per directions. Ran php composer.phar after I created the json file. Output threw everything into the Extension Installer directory as follows. Which I don't think is what was supposed to happen. ExtensionInstaller/ -extensions/ ---SubPageList/ ---Validator/ -vendor/ Anyway, looking at - if ( is_readable( __DIR__ . '../../vendor/autoload.php' ) ) { include_once( __DIR__ . '../../vendor/autoload.php' ); } So changing it to - if ( is_readable( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' ) ) { include_once( __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php' ); } worked for me. At far as I can tell it seems to work, Special:Version shows SubPageList and Validator, and the extension SubPageList is working. Going back and looking at v2.0, I see my change was the original autoload.php. ??? Are the instructions correct, for 1.22 only, or is v2.0 for 1.21? Should make a note of it on instructions. Thanks Tom Tom

#REDIRECT as 301/302
by Forest S 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Hello, is it possible to modify Mediawiki so that when you do a #REDIRECT, it sends an HTTP 301 or 302 redirect to the target page? Currently, it just returns HTTP 200 (OK), along with a near duplicate of the target's HTML. The HTML that it returns includes a rel="canonical" link to the target page, but Google has been equivocal about whether this passes as much PageRank as an HTTP redirect, so I'd like to know if an HTTP redirect to the target page is an option. Cheers, Forest

Puling user's email from Windows AD
by yan＠seiner.com 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Thanks to this list I know have my wiki integrated into the local network. It all works except that it does not pull the email from AD. This: $wgLDAPPreferences = array('HPM' => array( 'email' => 'mail','realname' => 'displayname')); pulls the realname and populates the correct field, but the email field remains stubbornly empty. Is there another setting somewhere I need to enable and/or disable?\

Windows AD integration/authentication
by yan＠seiner.com 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

I am trying to get the LDAPAuthentication extension working. I have samba authenticating against my Windows PDC, so the basic setup works. Now I need to get mediawiki to authenticate against the same PDC. I have tried following several different guides: http://www.pickysysadmin.ca/2013/05/13/how-to-configure-mediawiki-to-authen… http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication/AD_Configuratio… and my logins always fail. What's worse is that there's nothing pertaining to this in any log file that I can find, so I have no idea what is failing. Does anyone have AD authentication working? My latest attempt: require_once ("$IP/extensions/LdapAuthentication/LdapAuthentication.php"); $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin(); $wgLDAPDomainNames = array( 'HPM' ); $wgLDAPServerNames = array( 'HPM' => 'xxx.hpm.yyy' ); $wgLDAPSearchAttributes = array( 'HPM' => 'sAMAccountName' ); $wgLDAPBaseDNs = array( 'HPM' => 'dc=hpm,dc=yyy' ); $wgLDAPEncryptionType = array( 'HPM' => 'ssl' ); $wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1;
