[02:23:09] hey i'm trying to set up the visual editor and it says before 1.35 i need to set up parsoid, but i'm on 1.37 and its complaining about parsoid not being set up [02:47:06] you don't need a separate parsoid instance on 1.37; it comes bundled [02:47:47] can you upload your VisualEditor config to https://dpaste.org ? (copy/paste just the VE-related bits from LocalSettings.php) [03:31:49] theres no config at all [03:32:13] *no manual config i did other than importing the ext [03:32:14] wfLoadExtension('VisualEditor'); [03:34:03] ok; what's the specific error message you are receiving? [03:34:06] is your wiki private? [03:34:12] (as in, is a login required to view pages) [03:34:20] a login is not required to view pages [03:34:27] however registrations are closed [03:34:42] Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 500) [03:34:47] that shouldn't matter; just the default VE setup does not work with wikis where read access is locked down [03:35:01] ok, do you have error logging enabled? If so, go check those [03:35:13] 500 means some error is being thrown in the backend [03:35:39] where do the errors get logged if error_reporting is -1? [03:37:03] wherever you configured log_errors to point to [03:38:10] but you'll probably want the mediawiki error log since it'll include more details, so check $wgDebugLogFile (define it to point somewhere if it isn't set) [03:39:01] that log will fill up quickly with that configuration so turn it off again after you've confirmed it logged the request with the error in it [03:40:58] http://ix.io/3UA5 [03:41:55] interesting [03:42:04] did you download the correct version of VisualEditor? [03:42:34] or I guess a better question is "how did you download VisualEditor"? [03:42:45] it came with my mediawiki .tar.gz [03:44:05] (mediawiki-1.37.2.tar.gz) [03:47:05] hmm [03:47:13] what other extensions do you have installed [03:51:35] zulc22: so the error seems to be related to either some other extension you are using, or perhaps you have raw HTML editing enabled [03:52:52] i have html enabled [03:52:55] that'd be why [03:53:17] a lot of basic things i have to do in html for some reason [03:53:20] VE only works with wiki markup, so if you're using any HTML tags that are disallowed by regular wiki markup, it'll break [03:53:28] like hover over, lists, etc...... [03:53:35] no its allowed [03:53:40] "allowed"? [03:53:45] sorry, I meant do you have $wgRawHtml enabled [03:53:48] no [03:54:02] ok then disregard everything I said :) [03:54:11] but i AM using html tags in places that on other mediawiki sites they would have a way to do it with wikitext [03:54:22] if wikitext is what that markup is called [03:54:23] (VE doesn't work when that particular thing is enabled, because that allows you to do stuff like add in
