 * If your MediaWiki runs via SSL, make sure that your Parsoid server can access your MediaWiki without certificate errors. In other words; make sure that the certificate is valid and added to the certificate storage on your Parsoid-running system.
 * Debian package version of Parsoid stores it's logs in.
