Topic on Extension talk:FlaggedRevs/archive 4

I recently installed MediaWiki and FlaggedRevs on my Windows laptop with XAMPP/Apache. I encountered two major issues which strangely are not mentioned on this site. Both are related to accessing rest.php.

Issue one: FlaggedRevs on Apache did not like this url format: localhost/Article. It prevented rest.php from being accessed. I had to change it to localhost/wiki/Article.

Issue two: FlaggedRevs on Apache did not work on subpages because their titles contain forward slashes. To fix this you need to set AllowEncodedSlashes to "NoDecode". On Apache, this feature is set to "Off" by default.

I wrote about these problems at bigger length on the support desk, see here. I do believe this site should have notes about these hurdles to prevent other people from wasting time on them like I did.

Since I heard no objections, I added a little bit about the 2nd issue. As for the 1st issue, I asked the folks at Stack Overflow. Maybe they know what to do.

Oh, and btw... what's up with these <translate> tags all over this page? What is there purpose?

Thanks to Stack Overflow, I now also fixed the 1st issue. I added the solution to the support desk thread.
