Topic on Extension talk:VisualEditor

When I attempt to save a page using VisualEditor, the normal "Save your changes" box comes up. When I click on Save page in the upper right-hand corner of that box, the box receives a modal overlay with the message "Unknown error, HTTP status 500".

Here's my set up: Ubuntu 16.04, Apache 2.4.18, PHP 7.0.28, MySQL 5.7.21, MediaWiki 1.30.0, VisualEditor 0.1.0, Node.js 8.10.0, Parsoid 0.9.0. My wiki is using Let's Encrypt.

The first thing I want to do is find out more about this 500 error. I cannot find it in the following log files:

• The error_log for the virtual host (/home/wiki/logs/error_log).
• The error_log for Apache as a whole (/var/log/apache/error.log).
• The log for the Parsoid service (/var/log/parsoid/parsoid.log).

Where else may I look? I'm not savvy about Node.js or applications built on it, and I couldn't find any places by googling "parsoid error log location".

Solution: Turns out the php-curl extension wasn't installed. Installing this extension fixed this issue.

How exactly did you solve this issue? I have the same problem, and i got cURL enabled from my provider, but the issue still exist.
