[13:26:25] hello! when I create an account for a user, the user does not receive an email with a random password [13:26:35] how can I fix that? [13:45:11] cloudcell: have you set email up? [13:45:49] Spookreeeno: what do you mean? where? I do have an email [13:46:08] or you mean an smtp server on the server? [13:46:16] cloudcell: an smtp server [13:46:20] no [13:46:56] what's the right way to do that? [13:47:03] cloudcell: it depends [13:47:54] does your host give you email? can you sign up for a gmail mediawiki can use? are you setting up self-hosted mail? [13:48:24] I am using an AWS server [13:51:49] I think I will be setting up self-hosted mail and I just need to be able to send out emails, but I don't need to receive any replies [13:52:05] Spookreeeno: ^^ [13:52:45] cloudcell: ok, well you need to setup your mail server first [13:53:00] then find out the right details for it to add to $wgSMTP [13:53:17] make sure you have dns setup, reverse lookup working etc, else you end up on spamlists quickly [13:53:29] ok, thank you very much [13:54:36] (and if this is really just to send mails for the wiki, make sure the server is not exposed to the internet, or it will actually be used for spam quickly :)) [14:00:08] The server must be exposed to the internet. How would you pretend your mails to reach other servers otherwise? :) [14:00:31] hehe well, incoming i mean of course =) [14:01:33] Nowadays I'd recommend to send mails through mailjet or similar services that have a free tier [14:02:22] Mails sent from AWS would probably be marked as spam anyway [14:02:23] * Spookreeeno does not recommend self hosted mail [14:04:42] I just need to enable admins to create user accounts, that's it [14:05:03] and to send out temporary passwords via email [14:05:26] Some external mail servers require you to have your own mailserver, though. Some implement anti-spam measures by bouncing your mail temporarily, which most mail servers recover by resending it after some delay, and only after resending the bounced email it gets accepted [14:05:44] cloudcell: sign up for some free email provider [14:05:53] it would be far far easier [14:06:01] ^ [14:06:55] create gmail, read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP#Gmail [15:00:32] wow, thanks! Spookreeeno [18:45:36] Hey guys,i'm running a mediawiki pod as described on docker hub. Can i somehow change from example.com/ to example.com/wiki/ ? I tried toying with LocalSettings.php to no avail yet. [20:13:40] Hello folks, does anyone know the reason for receiving this error "Error: Class 'Shellbox\Shellbox' not found" ? I have a site running on version 1.36 which was working perfectly fine but most recently after updating dependencies on composer it stopped working and start showing this error. [20:19:27] means your composer updates didn't pick up everything [20:20:42] Thank you for replying Moonmoon. Any idea if its possible to get these missing files? [20:21:12] yes, they're provided by composer [20:21:21] I simply used php composer.phar update --no-dev [20:22:05] but have no idea why all the files were not picked up by the composer. [20:22:05] re-run that command, pay attention to the output [20:22:36] look for any warnings/errors [20:22:46] I tried a few times and its just showing "Nothing to install, update or remove" [20:22:56] no errors or anything else. [20:23:14] you're running from the base mediawiki directory? [20:24:02] from the one where I have LocalSetting.php [20:24:07] yep [20:24:38] how did you obtain the mediawiki files? [20:25:45] (e.g. git, tarball, some other way of downloading it?) [20:26:17] from git [20:26:24] ok [20:26:34] run: git checkout -- composer.json [20:26:39] then rm composer.lock [20:26:49] then php composer.phar install --no-dev [20:28:49] not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git [20:29:06] then it doesn't sound like you grabbed the wiki files from git [20:29:55] I did by following the instructions here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git [20:31:09] error message indicates that somehow got wiped/corrupted then [20:31:51] Any other method to recover the lost files? [20:31:58] I would recommend grabbing a fresh copy of all of the files (clone it into a brand new directory, then copy over your images, extensions, and LocalSettings. finally rename the old one to some backup name and rename the new one to the correct name) [20:34:00] Alright sound like that's the only option left. Thanks for your help. Have a good time.
