[06:13:30] <Guest66>	 I would like to request to delete my wikipedia account
[06:13:47] <Guest66>	 Can someone help me
[06:13:49] <Guest66>	 ?
[15:20:19] <scottpedia>	 hello people
[15:20:29] <scottpedia>	 i just did install a mediawiki instance on a vm
[15:20:44] <scottpedia>	 how do I change the setting to allow anonymous users to view pages
[15:20:56] <scottpedia>	 (currently I set it up to be a "private wiki")
[15:28:43] <RhinosF1>	 scottpedia: grant 'read' to the '*' group in your LocalSettings.php
[15:29:04] <scottpedia>	 ok i think i have that donw
[15:29:07] <scottpedia>	 done*
[15:29:17] <scottpedia>	 on "preventing access" right?
[15:29:43] <scottpedia>	 now I have changed the config. how do I apply it?
[15:29:53] <scottpedia>	 is there a way to restart the wikimedia's services?
[15:29:56] <RhinosF1>	 It should be applied if you've saved the file
[15:30:06] <scottpedia>	 okay let me see
[15:30:17] <RhinosF1>	 you can check on Special:ListGroupRights what groups have what rights
[15:31:52] <scottpedia>	 RhinosF1: i've saved the file but it still says "login required to view other pages"
[15:32:19] <RhinosF1>	 scottpedia: what web server etc are you using? Apache with mod_php or php-fpm etc
[15:32:33] <scottpedia>	 it's a stock installation on debian using apt
[15:33:43] <scottpedia>	 man i got it figured out 
[15:33:48] <scottpedia>	 wrong config I entered
[15:33:52] <scottpedia>	 thx for help RhinosF1 
[15:33:55] <RhinosF1>	 Cool
[15:34:09] <RhinosF1>	 That's apache with mod_php by default
[15:34:22] <RhinosF1>	 Unless you've already installed another web server
[15:34:31] <scottpedia>	 no it's a stock install
[15:34:37] <scottpedia>	 so should be as you said
[15:35:08] <scottpedia>	 does the instance run when the system is booted?
[15:35:14] <RhinosF1>	 a stock install depends on apache
[15:35:28] <scottpedia>	 is there any use of systemctl to control the services, etc...?
[15:35:32] <RhinosF1>	 So if you didn't do anything extra, it installed apache and configured mod_php
[15:35:42] <RhinosF1>	 Mediawiki doesn't have a mediawiki service
[15:35:53] <RhinosF1>	 You will have a database and a web server running though
[15:36:00] <RhinosF1>	 Which are likely apache + MariaDB
[15:36:05] <RhinosF1>	 Which should start by default
[15:36:20] <scottpedia>	 okay so as long as the webserver and the db running I can view the pages right?
[15:37:06] <RhinosF1>	 Should be able to
[15:37:18] <scottpedia>	 okay thx for the ping up
[15:37:29] <scottpedia>	 ready to do some basic editing
[15:37:43] <scottpedia>	 it's my first time using mediawiki
[15:37:58] <RhinosF1>	 Cool
[15:38:01] <scottpedia>	 a long time ago I tried installing it 
[15:38:04] <RhinosF1>	 Please ask if you get stuck
[15:38:08] <RhinosF1>	 We don't bite
[15:38:22] <scottpedia>	 that's very nice of you. will do.
[15:39:23] <scottpedia>	 RhinosF1: okay here comes another question
[15:39:50] <scottpedia>	 how do I expose the server to 0.0.0.0?
[15:40:24] <scottpedia>	 is that a setting to be found in the generating php file?
[15:41:06] <RhinosF1>	 That will be in your apache config
[15:41:50] <RhinosF1>	 Which will be at /etc/httpd
[15:43:09] <Lucas_WMDE>	 (/etc/apache2 on Debian, no?)
[15:44:41] <RhinosF1>	 Lucas_WMDE: possibly, my experience with apache is rocky and nginx on Debian
[15:45:16] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I gather Debian’s Apache config layout is quite different from upstream
[15:45:34] <Lucas_WMDE>	 (but I’m mainly familiar with the Debian version, so for me this takes the form of “why is it so different in Arch and Rocky” 😅)
[15:46:25] <Lucas_WMDE>	 I would start looking in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ (but it might also be in config-available, not sure)
[15:47:09] <scottpedia>	 okay RhinosF1 Lucas_WMDE thx for the help
[15:47:22] <scottpedia>	 i will work on it tomorrow so stay tuned
[15:47:26] <Lucas_WMDE>	 good luck!
[15:47:35] <scottpedia>	 thx
