Site settings could not be loaded?

[mdahman]

I almost had dekiwiki working. A new install was running, but when I tried to log in, I got an error that some function wasn't found. Turns out I had to upgrade php to 2.5.x. In the process of doing so, php, apache, and mysql were updated. Now when I try to bring up the home page I get:


Site settings could not be loaded

Your site settings could not be loaded. This is most likely the result of misconfiguration of your API (or your API's location).

HTTP Response Status Code: 502

Here are some other tests/results:
http://localhost:8081/deki/@about - Bad Request (Invalid host)
http://localhost/@api/deki/@About - works
http://localhost/config/index.php - works: Setup has completed, your wiki is configured.

looks like mysql works with the user and pass from the mindtouch.deki.startup.xml.

deki log looks clean.
apache error_log has:

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: wgSitename in /var/www/deki-hayes/languages/Language.php on line 51


Any help is appreciated!

Hi mdahman,

are running a VM or did you install your own server?

If you are running the VM there is no need to upgrade apache, MySql or PHP, and this may be causing the issues. I would suggest re-downloading the VM and starting over.

If you are running deki on your own server hopefully some of the experts in that area can help you.

what did you call your site when you set up deki wiki.. perhaps there is something in the site name that is causing the issue.

This is a from-scratch install on RHEL5. I've used the vm install on another install with success, but this instance called for a from-scratch install. Anywho... I had to upgrade php from the base RHEL5 version as it was throwing errors when I tried to do an initial login to dekiwiki. My yum update, installed updates for mysql & apache along with php.

What did I call the site? hmm, not sure. I think I left it as the default. The server hostname is its serial number, crazy enough. Here is what is in LocalSettings.php, I guess this is the name:

$wgSitename = "Deki Wiki";

I may not be giving you the info you are looking for, so let me know what file to pull it out of, and I'll do what I can to track it down.

Thanks for the initial rapid response.

This is what I have around line 51 in Language.php

if(!isset($wgMetaNamespace) || $wgMetaNamespace === FALSE)
        $wgMetaNamespace = str_replace( ' ', '_', $wgSitename );

See if the code is the same and if not try changing it (after backing up Language.php)

Thats about I all I can think of. Perhaps one of the devs can help you with this one if that does not work.

Good Luck!

The code in my Language.php file matched yours. I made some changes to no avail and restarted apache a couple times. It looks like apachectl wasn't restarting the entire http stack. The old date on the httpd parent process caught my eye.

# ps -ef | grep http

I forced a complete restart with

cd /etc/init.d
./httpd stop
./dekihost stop
./httpd start
./dekihost start

I backed out my changes in Language.php. Now I get in. Thanks for taking to time to assist. I'm off to find my next install problem.
