#
aaronpk seems quiet this morning so i'm going to use this opportunity to reboot and migrate the indieweb server as well
#
aaronpk heads up: about 10-12 minutes of downtime
#
aaronpk back
#
aaronpk that wasn't too painful
#
aaronpk wait
#
schmarty seeing several blank pages
#
aaronpk yeah that's...weird
#
schmarty (working my way through the newsletter for TWITIWAE)
#
aaronpk wth
#
aaronpk this is so weird
#
aaronpk this reminds me of what happened when I tried to upgrade my backup copy of the wiki to the new mediawiki version
#
aaronpk this makes no sense, nothing I did should have had an effect like this
#
schmarty mediawiki 🤷‍♂️

#
aaronpk just found that MagicWord error
#
aaronpk well awesome
#
aaronpk i'm gonna have to upgrade mediawiki
#
aaronpk 😭
#
schmarty OH NOES
#
aaronpk so interestingly, I didn't actually upgrade php just now, but I did upgrade the internal regex package on ubuntu
#
aaronpk and that's what caused this
#
sknebel alternative might be to hack in just that change and hope it works: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/107259/1/includes/MagicWord.php ?
#
sknebel (if other things are in the way of upgrading)
#
aaronpk oh nice I couldn't find that patch
#
aaronpk sknebel++ it's fixed
#
Loqi sknebel has 6 karma in this channel (77 overall)
#
aaronpk hang on might need to delete teh cache
#
sknebel whew
#
sknebel yeah, seems to be cached still, but previews look fine now
#
aaronpk I can't find where that's cached
#
sknebel php purgeParserCache.php [ --expiredate | --age ]
#
aaronpk that file was added in a newer mediawiki version 😂
#
sknebel hm
#
sknebel it can be done through the apis by privileged users
#
schmarty i'm still seeing some blank pages, e.g. https://indieweb.org/Tutorial%3A_Configure_WordPress_and_the_Indie_Web_plugins_to_your_liking
#
sknebel but only for individual pages
#
sknebel schmarty: yes, cached
#
aaronpk aha, setting $wgParserCacheType to none and then back seems to have jiggled it
#
sknebel looks that way
#
aaronpk ah I bet it was using APC rather than the file cache
#
aaronpk okay I think we're back
#
aaronpk I should probably take the plunge and finally finish the wiki upgrade
#
Loqi I agree
#
aaronpk whoa mediawiki switched to using composer to install extensions
#
GWG aaronpk: Any extensions worth considering?
#
aaronpk nah I just am trying to upgrade to new versions of ones we're already using
