Howto

That the service is not enabled/started at install time.

Regarding VisualEditor here’s another guide, don’t know if you’ll have more luck:

I was looking at that page and use google translator.

They are using nginx.

Was hoping that maybe the parsoid and VisualEditor config could bring some light.

Hi all,

At last, I have VisualEditor fully FONCTIONNAL.

I followed and adapted: https://crashlaker.github.io/articles/2018-05/mediawiki.

I am using Mediawiki-1.28.2: image

Parsoid: 0.8.0 / 2017-10-24
VisualEditor: 0.1.0 (93528b7) / 25 octobre 2016 à 16:23
node: v6.17.1

The article says:

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum -y install yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
yum -y install php php-opcache
yum -y install php-mysqlnd php-pdo
yum -y install php-gd php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-mbstring php-soap curl curl-devel
systemctl restart httpd

But since I am on NethServer-7.6.1810 and using PHP Collection and PHP-7.2, I did:

# yum -y install php72-php-gd php72-php-ldap php72-php-odbc php72-php-pear php72-php-xml php72-php-xmlrpc php72-php-mbstring php72-php-soap curl curl-devel

I used VisualEditor for MediaWiki-1.28

# git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor.git --branch REL1_28
# cd VisualEditor
# git submodule update --init

For the firewall:

# config set fw_parsoid service status enabled TCPPort 8000 access green,red
# signal-event firewall-adjust
# cat /etc/shorewall/rules | grep 8000
ACCEPT  loc     $FW     tcp     8000
ACCEPT  net     $FW     tcp     8000
#

Using https, when I want to open VisualEditor, I received:

"(curl error: 7) Couldn't connect to server"

When I connect to http, I received:

Error 500

● In NethServer, I took out: “Nécessite une connexion SSL cryptée” -> “need a crypted connection”.

● In LocatSettings.php, I took out the https and used only http:

$wgServer = "http://www.mediawiki.micronator-dev.org";

Then everything start functionning correctly.

I will start all over again with MediaWiki-1.31LTS and keep you updated,

Hi all,

Nothing is finished until the paper work is done!

I rebooted the server with MediaWiki-1.28.
I cannot login any more to MediaWiki with http.

I had to change LocalSettings and use https:

$wgServer = "https://www.mediawiki.micronator-dev.org";

Everhing is again working correctly.

In NethServer, I didn’t have to enable “Require SSL encrypted connection”.
If I enable it, I receive “Error 404”

Any suggestion?
