Hi,
I'm running multiple language wikis and one pool wiki. The problem is
that no file descriptions are fetched in the language wikis although
$wgFetchCommonsDescriptions is set to true.
LocalSettings.php of the language wikis:
$wgUseSharedUploads = true;
$wgSharedUploadPath = 'http://pool.example.com/w/images';
$wgSharedUploadDirectory = '/path/to/pool/w/images/';
$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true;
$wgFetchCommonsDescriptions = true;
$wgSharedUploadDBname = 'poolwiki'; # DB-Name of PoolWiki
#$wgSharedUploadDBprefix = 'wiki_'; # Table name prefix for PoolWiki
$wgRepositoryBaseUrl = "http://pool.example.com/wiki/Image:";
ForeignAPIRepo used to work fine before, but since I switched from
Apache to Nginx, no images show up anymore in the language wikis. This
is how my LocalSettings.php used to look like:
$wgForeignFileRepos[] = array(
'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo',
'name' => 'pool',
'apibase' => 'http://pool.example.com/w/api.php',
'fetchDescription' => true, // Optional
'descriptionCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional (values are
seconds)
'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 0, // required for local thumb caching
);
I also tried to set 'name' => 'poolwiki', (name of the pool database)
but that doesn't work either.
I also re-started Memcached and I even deleted a file description page
from the CloudFlare cache, but still no file description can be seen :/
My software: MediaWiki: 1.22.0
PHP: 5.3.27 (fpm-fcgi)
MySQL: 5.1.70-log
Any help would be über-cool.
Thanks and cheers,
Till

Last year, the Wikimedia Foundation started to share the
responsibility[0] of the long term management of the MediaWiki software
project with the wider community. We are continuing the process with a
second Request for Proposals[1] to manage the third-party releases of
MediaWiki (PDF[2]).
The process for this RFP is a community-involved one. There is a
three-week period for organizations to prepare and submit their
proposals, after which the community can comment on and ask questions of
the proposers. The Wikimedia Foundation will take all of this feedback
into account when making the final decision for who will lead the
release management of MediaWiki for the next year.
The deadline for proposals is June 13.
Please do get involved if you are interested in the future of MediaWiki!
Greg

Hello Folks,
I hope someone can help out here.
I have setup MW 1.22.* successfully on a test server of my own but am
now having trouble going into "production" ...
I have a managed Linux server. Via the web panel, I have created a
database and a database user. On the command line, I have to connect to
the database via a form like :
mysql -u user -S /tmp/mysql5.sock -p database
I have to use the "socket" form (-S) or it fails to connect (access
denied). See :
http://faq.1and1.co.uk/web_space__access/mysql/12.html
I am trying to set up MW 1.22.7, running the initial setup
(mw-config/index.php) to set up the database I get an error :
1) Using database = localhost
ERROR = DB connection error: Access denied for user: 'dbuser@localhost'
(Using password: YES) (localhost).
2) Using database = localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock
ERROR = DB connection error: Unknown MySQL server host
'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock' (1) (localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock).
I refererred to this page for the 2nd format above :
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Config_script
"Note: If running MySQL using a different socket file (e.g. mysql on
localhost,
using --socket=/tmp/mysocketfile), set the database host
to:"localhost:/tmp/mysocketfile". Sometimes sockets are called ports. If
you
have a port number for your database host, follow the same
syntax:"my.host.url:port"."
I also see a resolved bug (with code I see I have in 1.22.7 (IP.php)) :
mysqli: Non-standard port handling broken (explicit parameter int $port
expected)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58153
I tried the command line installer but got problems as well e.g.
> php5.5 maintenance/install.php wikiname admin --pass <pass> \
--dbname <database> --dbserver localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock --dbuser
<dbuser> --dbpass <dbpass> \
--scriptpath "/w"
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.12
Content-type: text/html
...
Setting up database
DB connection error: Connection refused (localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock).
Check the host, username and password and try again.
Does anyone know how I can get MW connected here?

In the documentation for Extension:Scrubunto the troubleshooting
section indicates that when a red Script error message appears on
page, you can click it to view the error message. On my system, this
doesn't work at all.
MW 1.22.6
Scribunto (git branch REL1_22)
Lua 5.1.5
I've confirmed the extensions requirements have been met. The lua
error log I've set up just gets filled with:
TX ==> call
RX <== return
TX ==> call
RX <== return
TX ==> call
RX <== return
TX ==> call

TX ==> call

Any thoughts on how to debug this?
Thanks

I'm trying to upload the Lua logo from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Navbox
But my wiki running MW 1.24alpha returns an error: The XML in the
uploaded file could not be parsed.
This also occurs on another wiki running 1.22.6.
Both are configured to allow SVG uploads and I've successfully
uploaded files in the past. What would cause this? I assume the
image is good, as it's being used on Wikipedia.
Thanks
Bill
I am out of the office until 10/06/2014.

The MediaWiki installation guide is in a very sad state, please help
make some sense out of it.
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Current_issues/Installation_g…>
In this thread I show it's composed of
* 7 logical steps,
* 8 supposed main manual pages,
* 27+10 subitems,
* countless platform-specific instructions,
all very loosely coordinated (to use an euphemism).

Some of my wiki users seem to like to paste full wiki URLs into pages
rather than use wiki link markup.
Is there an extension that can throw a validation error and prevent the
saving of a page if the submitted text contains a certain pattern, like the
hostname of the wiki?
Thanks.
