Hi,

I have a dirty hack that should work for you (however I take no responsibility for any damage :)).

Changes to Parsoid:

* apply following diff with patch tool: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=rfaHyVRF (if it is not compatible with your Parsoid version then you can apply changes from it by hand)
* in js/api/localsettings.js just below line 'env.setInterwiki...' add another line: 'env.syncval = "<SECRETCODE>";'

Changes to MW:

* in api.php just above line '$processor = new ApiMain( $wgRequest, $wgEnableWriteAPI );' add this code:
if ( isset($_GET['syncval']) && $_GET['syncval'] === "<SECRETCODE>" ) {
        $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;
}

Make sure to replace <SECRETCODE> with some secure string/password - https://www.random.org/passwords/?num=1&len=24&format=html&rnd=new

My wiki is working and the address is http://skwiki/w/Hauptseite ("Main_Page" is "Hauptseite" in German). I see the api page when I go to http://skwiki/api.php and I see the Parsoid page when I go to http://skwiki:8000. But I get errors when I click the VisualEditor link on http://skwiki/w/VisualEditor:Sandbox (no response).
