Re: [MediaWiki-l] Help needed with CentralAuth

Very tempting Maybe I should pursue both options in parallel, and install vagrant on my host machine. If I want more real-time help in setting this up, would #wikimedia-dev be the right channel to ask questions in? On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 6:48 PM Bryan Davis wrote: > On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at

Wait, are you saying that WMF uses MediaWiki-Vagrant to run the Wikipedias etc? I thought they was not correct. PS: You are correct that we talked passed each other. PPS: Vagrant or not, the purpose of this question is partly for me to have a working environment, but also partly to understand

[MediaWiki-l] Tentative time/place for next EMWCon: April 3-5, 2019 in San Francisco

Hi, We now have a tentative date and location for EMWCon Spring 2019, or the Enterprise MediaWiki Conference: per the subject line, the plan is to have it on Wednesday to Friday, April 3-5, 2019, in San Francisco, California - or, more precisely, in neighboring Daly City, CA, at the Genesys

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Help needed with CentralAuth

Ok, I will look into it. I gave it a quick try right now, and it refused to work (it asked me to install Virtualbox on my guest Linux machine, which itself is on Virtualbox, and then it complained that the guest machine's BIOS does not allow virtualization). Generally, I would like to avoid

[MediaWiki-l] Switch wiki from folder to subdomain: SEO hit?

Say you are the owner of example.com with a wiki at www.example.com/wiki Say you decide to move the wiki to it's own subdomain: wiki.example.com/wiki. Would there necessarily be any "hit" on SEO assuming you implement permanent redirects at the www site? Or, in your experience, is it best to

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Help needed with CentralAuth

@Bryan: then I would need someone to document that workflow so I can start using it. It is not obvious to me how to do so based on your explanation. @Brian: I added the $wgLBFactoryConf (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P7808) and now I get this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P7813 On

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Help needed with CentralAuth

Whoops, I meant to say $wgLBFactoryConf, not $wgLoadBalancer Wikimedia's config is at https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=db-eqiad.php but its super complicated. I would recommend following the simple example at

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Help needed with CentralAuth

Well the issue is I don't know how to work with Gerrit when using vagrant. I want to have the ability to load a patch (with git review -d ...) and to create and submit patches. To the extent that I know, vagrant does *not* integrate with my git account, right? On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 10:30 AM

Re: [MediaWiki-l] Help needed with CentralAuth

Thank you both. @ K. Peachy: I rather not use shared tables. These are tests wikis that I am setting up just to have a mini version of the WMF environment, so I can test patches and such. I believe WMF does not use shared tables so I rather not either. @ Brian: what value does WMF use for

So im not sure, but first things id check: * wgMainCacheType is not set. In principle nothing should need this set as sessions should use $wgSessionCacheType, but i would reccomend ensuring that main cache type is set to something writable that works (if all else fails try $wgMainCacheType =

Hi Huji, If they are fresh wikis, Try having a look at doing a Shared Database setup[1], compared to centralauth. [1]. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Shared_database On Thu, 15 Nov 2018 at 12:05, Huji Lee wrote: > > Admittedly, I never learned how to properly set up and configure >
