Help Needed: Installing VisualEditor extension.

[girish]

@robi the docs are so sparse, it's not clear to me why it's not loaded by default. Clearly, they have not enabled it for a reason despite pre-bundling it with mediawiki itself...

@girish I think that's an assumption, and one which we can remedy by making it nicer, the Cloudron way.

@girish I'm just getting back to this... it's strange, I have just the default settings in my LocalSettings.php file. The only thing I have added is the line: wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );

Unfortunately I'm still getting this error:

I would normally just uninstall and reinstall the app but I already have a lot of content in there...

@jtippetts Did you update the app package to the latest version? I only pushed this out yesterday with the fix to wgServer. If you go to the Update view, it should show the package version as v1.17.0

[jtippetts]

@girish Yes, I believe I am on the most current update.

@jtippetts That looks uptodate.

I tried a fresh install on our demo server https://my.demo.cloudron.io (username/password is cloudron/cloudron). Can you try the install at https://wiki.demo.cloudron.io/ (username/password is cloudron/cloudron).

Maybe you can compare the configs which I have above and what you have in your setup to see if we miss anything obvious ?

@girish Everything on the test server worked perfectly and all of my settings appeared to be identical. I decided to shut down the entire server and reboot it. After the machine started back up it seems that everything is now working as expected. For future reference do I need to reboot my server after Cloudron updates? Seems like normally I get a notification in Cloudron telling me when the system needs to be re-booted...? Anyways, I think everything is working now. I really appreciate all of your help! Seriously, I love Cloudron!

No, app updates don't require a reboot. Not entirely sure what the reboot did

@girish Turns out I spoke too soon. I am still getting an error. I found a workound from someone that had the exact same issue. Here is a link to a possible solution:

Unfortunately, I can't decipher what needs to be done. As soon as it starts talking about certificates it's way over my head.

@jtippetts I have to check your instance to see why it's not working. Can you write to us at support@cloudron.io ?
