How to configure to always log error information?
by Jeffrey Walton 23 Dec '17

23 Dec '17

Hi Everyone, We are working through an issue with Syntax Highler extension. Highlighting fails, and the wiki page in question states "Pages with syntax highlighting errors". It is fairly obvious there's an error condition somewhere. When we check the error log there's nothing present. The only thing present is the server restart (which baffles me since this is not an error): $ tail -n 8 /var/log/httpd24/error_log [Fri Dec 22 20:54:04.238747 2017] [http2:warn] [pid 13535] AH10034: The mpm module (prefork.c) is not supported by mod_http2. The mpm determines how things are processed in your server. HTTP/2 has more demands in this regard and the currently selected mpm will just not do. This is an advisory warning. Your server will continue to work, but the HTTP/2 protocol will be inactive. [Fri Dec 22 20:54:04.258176 2017] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 13535] AH00163: Apache/2.4.27 (Red Hat) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips PHP/7.1.8 configured -- resuming normal operations [Fri Dec 22 20:54:04.258234 2017] [core:notice] [pid 13535] AH00094: Command line: '/opt/rh/httpd24/root/usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND' How do we trouble shoot this further? What do folks do when errors are silently swallowed and no messages are logged? Jeff

PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in ...
by Jeffrey Walton 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hi Everyone, We are working on CentOS 7 with PHP 7.1.8. We recently upgraded to MediaWiki 1.30. This should be my last question. We are re-adding skins and extensions. When running update.php we encounter: MediaWiki 1.30.0 Updater PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in /var/www/html/w/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1507 PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in /var/www/html/w/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1507 Searching for the issue is turing up small stuff, like https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-undefined-index-server_name-… . I found https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Stowqzxlreejgel2 and it tells me to to use php_uname("n"), but I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with it. Is this something we need to worry about or take action for? Maybe add php_uname("n") to LocalSettings.php? Something else? (The hostname is pretty messed up because its a hosted environment. The assigned hostname is "ftpit", but this machine is for a website and wiki so it can use a domain name). Thanks in advance, Jeff

Do we need wgDBmysql5 for MediaWiki 1.30?
by Jeffrey Walton 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hi Everyone, We just finished a MediaWiki 1.30 migration. The iron is CentOS 7 x86_64 VM with PHP 7.8.1 and MariaDB 5.5.56. According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBmysql5 it looks like we no longer need wgDBmysql5 in LocalSettings.php. Do we still need wgDBmysql5? Jeff

UTF-8 and Error: 1064 ... syntax to use near '-8' at line 9
by Jeffrey Walton 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

We are working on CentOS 7 x86_64 fully patched. We have SCL enabled so Apache 2.4.58, PHP 7.1.8 and MariaDB 5.5.56 are being used. We are trying to upgrade from MediaWiki 1.26 to 1.30. We are following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading. We have been catching database errors so we are trying to run update.php per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:U26n1a1pgo0078tt (the update.php step is missing from Manual:Upgrading, so we did not run it first). The update is failing due to a syntax error. The "-8" below appears to be related to literal UTF-8. We are not sure how to proceed. We also noticed a message "Database.php: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application's database schema updater after upgrading?". A database schema updater is not discussed at Manual:Upgrading, so we are not sure what to do. We found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35631265/mysql-error-1064-default-chara… , but the answer does not provide enough details for us to take action. Any help in getting our wiki back online would be greatly appreciated. ************************************************** [root@ftpit maintenance]# pwd /var/www/html/w/maintenance [root@ftpit maintenance]# php ./update.php PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in /var/www/html/w/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1507 PHP Notice: Undefined index: SERVER_NAME in /var/www/html/w/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1507 MediaWiki 1.30.0 Updater Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies!

Dump of recents changes
by go moko 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi, all I've a private wiki, which must be duplicated elsewhere. I do this with a DumpBackup operation, then a importDump (this is quite long...). Now, I'd like to update this duplicated wiki, on some weekly basis for example, but without using the full dump, only a dump of the pages which has been changed since a given date. I don't found any utility to get this kind of dump without tedious manual operations on Special Recents Changes page. Can you tell me if such an operation is possible, and how? Thanks for your help G. Moko

Set MySQL connection to use SSL
by cdhgold 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

In my MW site I'm using MW 1.30 and MySQL 5.7.x I need to set MW to use SSL for the database connection but am not finding the right settings in MW documentation ( I may be overlooking) In LocalSettings.php I have ## Database settings $wgDBtype = "mysql"; $wgDBserver = "<IP of DB server"; $wgDBname = "<DB_name>"; $wgDBuser = "<DB User Name>"; $wgDBpassword = "<DB password>"; $wgDBflags = DBO_SSL; This does force it to use SSL as when I make the MySQL database require SSL site dies and can't connect to database. I found the docs for $wgDBServer and $wgDBServers but not clear on where / when to use these I use a single DB server but it is not the same as the web server http://xkcd.com/705/ Chris Goldsmith Christian, Dad, Husband, Pro-Gun 2nd Amendment supporter, Career Linux Geek (Fedora/CentOS/Redhat)

CAS update failed on user_touched for user ID # (User.php line 3889)
by Evans, Richard K. (GRC-H000) 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hello.. I'm getting an error when I run the SemanticMediawiki maintenance script "rebuildData.php" It consistently crashes on the same article ID and generates the following message: [72bdb30ca5d03c4cd6978192] [no req] MWException from line 3889 of /var/www/html/mywiki/includes/user/User.php: CAS update failed on user_touched for user ID '18' (read from replica); the version of the user to be saved is older than the current version. I investigated, and it turns out that User ID '18' is an account I created for my Parsoid service to use. The article is page_id '7108' which corresponds to a Flow talk page that I have edited using the VisualEditor. Back then (the PageID ~ 7000 era :-) ) .. was when I was installing Echo, Flow, VisualEditor and the Parsoid server.. and I had some messy issues getting them all up and running.. and I think this maintenance script error is a byproduct of that messy phase. Those extensions are all running well and playing nice together I think and so my hope is that if I can "repair" the database, this error with the maintenance script will do away. Can anyone help me understand what might be going on? .. and how to debug and fix it? -Rich * MW: 1.28.2 * PHP: 5.6.32 * MariaDB: 5.5.56, * SMW: 2.5.2 * VisualEditor: 0.1.0 (93528b7) 16:23, 25 October 2016 * Parsoid: 0.7.1+git (P.S. .. SMW folks say this is not a SMW issue)
