Could you paste the contents of your localsettings.js please? It looks like some sort of problem there. cscott (talk) 15:23, 19 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Well I deleted all this OCG stuff so I cannot recreate right now. The "localsettings.js" however should have had the contents as created by

./mw-ocg-service.js -c localsettings.js

So no manual intervention was done by me since it is not necessary according to the installation instructions. I will try to recreate the issue on another server an get back with the contents of this file. [[kgh]] (talk) 08:02, 21 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I installed Parsoid from the Linux package so I have a settings.js and not a localsettings.js

        parsoidConfig.setMwApi({
                uri: 'https://www.example.org/w/api.php',
                domain: 'example.org',
                prefix: 'eorg'
        });

Probably the result will be that one should not install Parsoid from package if the ocg should be used. Oh dear [[kgh]] (talk) 08:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think the confusion is that OCG has its *own* settings file. You shouldn't use Parsoid's `localsettings.js` as a configuration file for OCG. In fact, as the installation instructions suggest, if you have the PHP side configured correctly, you shouldn't need a localsettings.js for OCG at all. cscott (talk) 17:14, 29 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Have not tried since since mwlib is still working on Debian 8 but I will have another go soon. [[kgh]] (talk) 14:44, 5 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
