[03:28:51] During MediaWiki 1.37.1 installation, specifying database user/pass for "Database account for web access" what privileges does this account not need? create? drop? index? alter? [03:54:29] Oh, I just got Internal Server Error during configuration/installation process. Derp! [03:57:31] I think it might be because of the 256 character length password I tried to use for the administrator account, which includes uppercase, loewrcase, numbers, white spaces, special characters/symbols [03:58:43] Yep! Password with no spaces, works! No internal server error! [05:21:45] I'm having troubles with configuring .htaccess for Short URLs following https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache I'm trying to get http://moasspedia.org/wiki/Main_Page to redirect to http://moasspedia.org/mediawiki-1.37.1/index.php?title=Main_Page (whilst preserving the location to remain appearing as http://moasspedia.org/wiki/Main_Page [05:28:18] I think I figured it out [07:44:57] Wtf with the VA [13:56:30] Hi, I have some weird issue related to the way whatsapp parse some of my wiki pages, for example a page name like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%97%D7%A7:_02-06-1956_%D7 , the "_" around the date make it italic style, which mean the user gets to the wrong page (without the space before and after it).  There is a way to solve [13:56:31] it at my wiki app level? maybe have a code run when a user request for a non-existing page and redirect him with special logic? thanks! [15:08:20] Any idea anyone ?:S [16:17:41] urbanecm: can you merge https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/768069 [16:50:07] RhinosF1: done [16:50:22] urbanecm: ty [16:51:05] Damn! I tried to create an account on a MediaWiki installation I just set up, and when submitting the form I see: Internal Server Error [16:51:41] "More information about this error may be available in the server error log." where do I see logs for this? [16:52:30] ryzendar: it depends on your MW configuration. It might be in your webserver's log, or not logged anywhere at all [16:52:54] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug has some info about this [16:53:25] that sounds like an error generated by your web server, not mediawiki itself [16:59:47] Ah I see in apache error log: ModSecurity: Access denied with code 418 (phase 2). Operator GE matched 7 at TX:anomaly_score. [file "/dh/apache2/template/etc/mod_sec3_CRS/REQUEST-949-BLOCKING-EVALUATION.conf"] [line "93"] [id "949110"] [msg "Inbound Anomaly Score Exceeded (Total Score: 10)"] [severity "CRITICAL"] [ver "OWASP_CRS/3.3.2"] [tag "application-multi"] [tag "language-multi"] [tag "platform-multi"] [tag [16:59:47] "attack-generic"] [17:00:02] so I guess it's not a mediawiki issue then [17:00:05] mod_security causes more problems than it prevents [17:02:29] you can spend days trying to tune it to work correctly with MediaWiki, or you can just turn it off [17:03:39] I found in hosting panel where I can turn off mod_security, but also I've never dealt with configuring it so I'm gonna look a little bit into that too before I turn it off, at least to gain some wrinkles [17:04:54] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ModSecurity "Other issues can happen if you attempt to save an edit that contains more than X external links." [17:12:48] lol ModSecurity: Warning. Pattern match "(?:\\\\$(?:\\\\((?:\\\\(.*\\\\)|.*)\\\\)|\\\\{.*\\\\})|[<>]\\\\(.*\\\\))" at ARGS:wpPassword [17:13:11] apparently my password is too secure that it triggered 418 [17:13:13] i have a question how do i find my wikis sitemap [17:14:07] ah, cuz of [msg "Remote Command Execution: Unix Shell Expression Found"] [data "Matched Data: $(h) found within ARGS:wpPassword: [17:14:34] oh i mean on a miraheze wiki how do i get to the Wikis Sitemap [17:14:54] Surely that's a miraheze question? [17:15:11] ye they take awhile to reply [17:15:12] Cocopuff2018, I'm just guessing, but maybe try /wiki/Sitemap [17:16:02] but anyways https://moviepedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Wiki/Sitemap [17:16:09] i must of done it wrong [17:17:08] MW doesn't generate a sitemap by default [17:17:22] oh well how do i get to that wikis sitemap [17:17:33] it is already generated i just need to go back and get it and resubmit it [17:20:18] We're not miraheze support here [17:20:20] Ask them [17:45:43] How can I make requests to moasspedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page appear as if the url is moasspedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ? Here is my .htaccess in root folder http://ix.io/3Rlw and in LocalSettings.php: $wgScriptPath = "/w";$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; [18:23:42] i have a question if i submitted 2 sitmaps is that ok or should i only have 1 [18:25:40] ask miraheze [18:25:40] Also, on Wikipedia's installation, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/ shows "Unknown file path" and on my MediaWiki installation: I see all the files: https://moasspedia.org/w/extensions/ [18:26:31] same for docs, resources, and skins directories [18:27:22] That's expected [18:27:40] on WMF install, the php files in MW core aren't directly accessed [18:27:45] directory listing is enabled by default. you should probably turn it off though. [19:02:02] Do I need to get rid of any files after the MediaWiki installation? For example https://moasspedia.org/w/FAQ or otherwise is there an article listing all the htaccess rules to hide unnecessary files from being accessible?
