Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Installation

In the testwiki_family.py:

self.langs = { 'en': '"server_path"/testwiki', }

that should be 'en': 'localhost/wiki', or whereever your wiki is located.

Good luck.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend some good trouble shooting/debugging websites for setting up Pywikipedia.

I have followed the installation instructions on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_the_python_wikipediabot but when I try running the "login.py" it fails, output attached below. I guess I have missed something but I can't see what it is and I am not sure how to debug it. Searching this archive for "installation" or "login" has not helped.

I have set up a new testwiki on a local machine, the user name for my bot is correctly register and work for the actual wiki.

I have included my user-config.py and testwiki_family.py files, in case it is an obvious silly mistake.

Thanks for your help

Joe
