Upgrade to MW 1.31.0 fails on maintenance/update.php
by Jeff Darlington 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

My current setup, under which MW is running swimmingly: Fedora 27 Apache 2.4.33 MariaDB 10.2.14 MediaWiki 1.30.0 I am attempting to upgrade to MW 1.31.0. I unzipped the tarball into a fresh directory, copied over my LocalSettings.php file, and changed the symlink that I use with Apache to point to the new location. I then attempted to run maintenance/update.php and it cryptically ended with a whimper: ==================== MediaWiki 1.31.0 Updater Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies! Going to run database updates for wikidb Depending on the size of your database this may take a while! Abort with control-c in the next five seconds (skip this countdown with --quick) ... 0 Turning off Content Handler DB fields for this part of upgrade. Adding ipb_id field to table ipblocks ...Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; and $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information. ==================== I added the suggested flags to LocalSettings and got the following in my browser: ==================== [WyJ-joCjti3zg1lzHPXHqQAAAAM] /wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError from line 1457 of /var/www/gpf/mediawiki-1.31.0/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: A database query error has occurred.

Nothing has changed to my configuration (and probably to the wiki's contents) since I successfully upgraded to 1.30.0. If I switch my symlink back to point to my MW 1.30.0 install, the site loads just fine. So it appears the updater is bombing when it tries to add the field "ipb_id" to table "ipblocks". What confuses me is the "SELECT command denied to user 'wikiuser'@'localhost'" error. My wiki has two MariaDB users: "wikuser" (the standard user set in $wgDBuser) and an admin user set with $wgDBadminuser. Neither user account has changed, either in the DB or in LocalSettings. It *almost* looks like the updater is trying to use the standard user to do admin functions, but even that doesn't make much sense. "wikiuser" has SELECT access to all tables in the DB, while the admin user has all permissions to the entire DB. So I don't see why that specific error would crop up; even "wikiuser" should be able to perform a simple SELECT. Fortunately, I can switch back to MW 1.30.0 pretty easily, but I thought I ought to report the problem. ADDENDUM: I just noticed the following in the 1.31 release notes: ==================== Important pre-upgrade notes for 1.31 - If you're using MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL, are not using update.php to apply schema changes, and cannot have downtime to run migrateArchiveText.php and apply patch-drop-ar_text.sql manually, you'll have to apply a default value to the ar_text and ar_flags columns of the archive table or make those columns nullable before upgrading to MediaWiki 1.31. maintenance/archives/patch-nullable-ar_text.sql shows how to do this for MySQL. ==================== Based on this, I think there's something screwy with update.php. I *am* using update.php to apply schema changes, but I'm guessing it's not working correctly. I have *not* tried this manual fix (and would prefer not to unless absolutely necessary). Jeffrey T.

Query regarding "wikiclass"
by Nikhil Prakash 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi there, Currently, I'm working on a project which requires me to extract different features from the Wikitext of an English Wikipedia. For example, the number of images or the number of references that are present in the Wikitext. Although I have hardcoded some features from the scratch, I'm curious to know if I can use "wikiclass" or some other python module to compute the feature values. Thanks. Regards, Nikhil Prakash

The obligation to enter an email
by אחיקם אלירז 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

Hello! When new users sign up for the site, everything is fine. But if I give a command: $ wgEmailConfirmToEdit = *true*; In order for them to enter email, then when a new user is registered, it takes a lot of time to load and approve it. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.
