Hello,
I'm trying to install MediaWiki on CentOS with php-fpm, memcached, and
nginx over SSL. If you've seen the Ars Technica "How to set up a Safe and
Secure Web Server" (
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-…)
I'm basically attempting to replicate all the applications they installed
on Ubuntu to CentOS.
So long story short, I'm installing Mediawiki as per the instructions here:
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/02/web-served-7-wiki-wik…
Whenever I attempt to browse to the default index page on my wiki to
perform the install, I get a blank page. I check my nginx error logs and I
get this:
2013/11/03 11:27:37 [error] 22415#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP
message: PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage
module: memcache (path: /var/run/memcached/memcached.sock) in
/var/www/html/BlindSeeker/public_html/wiki/includes/templates/NoLocalSettings.php
on line 50" while reading response header from upstream, client:
192.168.1.2, server:
www.blindseeker.localdomain, request: "GET /wiki/
HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.soc:", host:
"192.168.1.11"
So, understand my web-foo isn't strong, but from what I can make of this,
Mediawiki is refusing to use memcache for session management. php-fpm has
been told where the unix socket for memcached is located, and other php
applications (vanilla, wordpress) are able to use it effectively.
I can also use nc -U /var/run/memcached/memcached.sock and connect to the
socket successfully, so I don't know why MediaWiki is refusing to use it.
So I've tried hitting the #mediawiki IRC channel for some answers, and the
only suggestion I got back was to see if safe_mode is turned on via
php.ini, other suggestions via google state to turn on verbose logging
under LocalSettings.php, but the file doesn't exist yet -- I haven't
finished the installation phase since the install page won't render.
So, I'm at a loss here. any suggestions?
