hello mediawiki experts,
thanks for all the work, a lot of things had been done since I set up a mediawiki last time (about 8 years ago).
I now did a fresh installation on a recent debian 10 installation using the official 1.35.1-tarball following the manual Running MediaWiki on Debian or Ubuntu
The only extension I added was VisualEditor.
The only thing I changed in LocaleSettings.php was to set $wgServer with my servers address.
and optionally the additional line: $wgGroupPermissions['user']['writeapi'] = true;
To my understanding this way I should end up with a public wiki ready for use incl VisualEditor. (correct?)
I tried both without logging in and as a registered user (I will need some privacy later on, but for now I'd be happy to see VisualEditor working one way or another).
Actually I run such installations quite some times, always starting from scratch, following various other descriptions suggesting to add parsoid and rest server stuff separately.
But whenever I finally start using that editor by clicking on bearbeiten I get the pop up message (using firefox from remote or locally): Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: 60) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK
In contrast Quelltest bearbeiten seems to work fine :)
My questions:
- can I take it for granted the documented procedure should work including VisualEditor without any extra steps ?
- If any additional procedure is needed: which one ?
thanks for any advise or explanation
