Agreed.  But I was basing this on reports from people who were using
XAMPP, not my lame attempts.  Still, I haven't tried to reproduce the
XAMPP issue, either.

For now, I suppose this is just something to make a mental note of until
the problem becomes more real.


Instead of
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

httpd 2.4 uses
Require all granted

RewriteLog /var/www/host/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 3
also is not supported

LogLevel warn rewrite:trace8
should be used instead.

I briefly run through the documentation and it seems that rewrite rules 
and condition processing become a bit nginx-like (seems they were aware 
that nginx increased it's presense).
However, I remember wikimedia was running something old like htpd 1.3 
and also some local admins recommended it as fastest approach. I 
personally run nginx/php-fpm, even though it's unsupported (no IE6 
workaround). However I do not care about IE6.

I'm running MediaWiki on apache-2.4.4 on NetBSD. Running the latest git 
version with WikiData extensions. I didn't run into any serious problems 
while installing. I did have to install some additional packages, but 
that's probably just NetBSD being minimalistic.

Ah! Thank you.  I'm gonna guess, then, that this is a problem particular
to XAMPP and/or Windows.

Are you using rewrite rules with your installation?  Are they different
than what we have documented for Apache?

FWIW: I'm running my local dev MediaWiki instance on Apache 2.4 and Windows
XP. I reinstalled everything about 2 months ago, and don't recall doing
anything extraordinary to get it to work

Here is some copy-paste Info

From http://localhost/index.php
  Apache Version   Apache/2.4.3 (Win32) PHP/5.4.11
  Apache API Version 20120211

From Special:Version
  MediaWiki  1.21wmf11 (3fbc368)
  PHP   5.4.11 (apache2handler)
  MySQL  5.1.58-community
  Lua5.1.4

Hope this helps.

Rewrite rules usually are compatible, they support old syntax but also 
now have more powerful conditions (which may be used but are not required).
My site was running fine just after the two changes I sent in previous 
mail. However I never use pre-configured environments Windows, I install 
and configure everything manually.
In Linux I even used to compile everything from source, but in last 
years switched to packages.

Surely it was some not so long time ago, there even was old httpd patch. 
Maybe they consider new hardware powerful enough so the difference 
became negligible.

[Wikitech-l] Anyone using Apache 2.4 to run MediaWiki?

2013-04-25 Thread Mark A. Hershberger
I'm seeing a few reports that people are running into trouble running
MediaWiki on Apache 2.4.

The reports seem focused on XAMPP, but I tried to run MW against the
Apache 2.4 package on Debian and didn't succeed.  Granted, I tried only
for 5 minutes or so.

Is this something we should document?

How exactly did it not succeed? That's a pretty serious bug.

I did say I didn't try very hard.  I'm not sure php even works with
apache 2.4 which is labeled experimental on Debian.

So five minutes was about enough to apt-get the apache 2.4 package and
dependencies and go to the URL that it was already set up on and see
that it didn't work.

If you'd like me to test some more, I can.  But I was hoping someone
else had some experience before I had to dig in further.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately you probably know more than I do so I don't have

I would say we shouldn't document unless we habe a vauge idea why. From
your description it could be that debian doesnt have php enabled by default
in their package of apache or something like that which would not be a mw
issue.
