Hi Does any one else have the problem that instant commons is suddenly not showing the pictures and displaying instead the broken file path in red colour? It was working fine since yesterday but today is not working. No changes were made in mediawiki instalation and I don't know what can be the problem.
Thank you.
Example: http://es.marenostrum.info/index.php?title=El_feudalismo_en_Europa
MediaWiki 1.24.2 PHP 5.5.24 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.1.73-log
It is not fixed. Someone posted in the wrong place.
I have found out this wiki with the same problem: http://edu.wiki.org.il/%D7%A2%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%99
I do not know how it has been fixed by itself.
No idea what hapened.
Thank you
Could it be a similar problem - the communication to de.wikipedia is broken. The files from Commons are shown in http://regiowiki.at , but if the file is uploaded on wikipedia the http://regiowiki.at/wiki/Datei:Logo_Polizei_AT.svg is shown - tillyesterday it works okay. -
This is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102566 and should be fixed now - please see the bug report (and feel free to comment there if there are still problems). Thanks!
Also see Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos. It is important to use HTTPS and not HTTP in the links pointing to the Wikipedia commons. The Wikimedia guys have changed their setup, redirecting people from HTTP to HTTPS and this change basically caused the issue we got reported here. This change has been reverted for now (so that it's again working also with HTTP), but it is still planned to switch to HTTPS in the future (see task T102566).
The solution is to use HTTPS in the URLs pointing to the commons repository! $wgForeignFileRepos has to be adjusted accordingly! See Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos!
I have still problems with commons images in my wiki after this http to https change. My wiki is showing only red links not images. Before this change everything was working fine. My wiki is running on version 1.23.3 and has instantcommons set true. I tried also ForeignFileRepos with both http and https links but with no success. Where is the problem? I couldn't find any help on internet. What I have to change or update to get it working properly again?
