Topic on Project:Support desk

Hello,

I am not the strongest at *nix, but I can puzzle most things out. This problem has got me baffled.

This is a Bitnami aws image of MediaWiki.

I am running:

Product	Version
MediaWiki	1.32.1
PHP	7.1.28 (fpm-fcgi)
MySQL	5.7.26
ICU	64.2

VisualEditor

0.1.0 (6414119)10:41, 3 June 2019

MediaWiki doesn't have Parsoid on its Special:Version page. When I run:

npm version

{ npm: '3.5.2',

  ares: '1.10.1-DEV',

  http_parser: '2.5.0',

  icu: '55.1',

  modules: '46',

  node: '4.2.6',

  openssl: '1.0.2g',

  uv: '1.8.0',

  v8: '4.5.103.35',

  zlib: '1.2.8' }

This would indicate it's not running, but then I get:

~$ service parsoid status

Jul 11 02:54:10 ip-172-31-36-234 systemd[1]: Started LSB: Web service converting HTML+RDFa to MediaWiki wikitext and back.

So I know it's running, and allegedly listening on 8142. But when I try to do a curl to that port, the connection is refused. Curl sees mediawiki, so I know it works.

I installed all of these from the instructions here at mediawiki.org.

Where should I go from here?

Thanks!

Michael

Check your config.yaml and verify that it is pointing to 8142. It may be listening on another port.

Check what the log in /var/log/parsoid says.

I looked in the config. I have serverPort:8142 un-commented. Still refusing.

tailing the parsoid log gives:

I don't have enough experience to tell you what is going on, but it looks like the server keeps crashing because of "Unexpected token {".

Maybe there is a { in your config.yaml where there shouldn't be?

I stripped the config.yaml down to the essentials, no free whitespace as mentioned elsewhere. No joy. Also upgraded to node 10.

I will reinstall for one more try and then go on to other projects. It seems very difficult to fix this error from what I've read, and no-one has a definitive fix.

Thanks for helping,

Michael

Not very familar with node, but the error message makes it sound as if there is a syntax error in ../src/lib/index.js

Parsoid needs a version of nodejs greater or equal to 4, but you're using 3.5.2. That's not compatible.

Where do you see that? I'm using 4.2.6 according to npm. Also just upgraded to node 10.

Sorry, I though npm was the version of nodejs
