ok I have confirmed that not only am I in town for 2017-12-27 but I am able to host @MozSF
#
tantek

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
that wasn't too painful
#
schmarty
seeing several blank pages
#
aaronpk
yeah that's...weird
#
schmarty
(working my way through the newsletter for TWITIWAE)
#
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
#
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

#
aaronpk
hang on might need to delete teh cache
#
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
it can be done through the apis by privileged users
#
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
