Topic on Project:Support desk

i have been having a few issues lately. My first is that my page formatting is coming up plain text

the site is ditwiki.com

MediaWiki	1.25.1
PHP	7.3.13 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL	5.5.62-log

any help is appreciated

See the "Console" and the "Network" tab of your web browser's developer tools for information: "The resource from “http://ditwiki.com/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts&skin=vector&*” was blocked due to MIME type (“text/html”) mismatch (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff)."

check your php error log for "headers already sent" error.

ok so it seems like my wiki links are pointing to /wiki/ThisPage instead of /ThisPage i know this is a simple fix but i cant remember how to do it

ah i found it. changed $wgArticlePath to "/$1"

but now when i try to go to the login page i get this error

Index.php

Jump to navigationJump to search There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, [index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Index.php search the related logs], or [index.php?title=Index.php&action=edit create this page].

that seems like a combination of rewrite rules being wrong and $wgServer (and maybe $wgScriptPath) being wrong.

Does this help? these are my settings currently

$wgScriptPath = ".";

$wgScriptExtension = ".php";

$wgArticlePath = "/$1";

$wgServer = "localhost";

here is my htaccess

RewriteEngine On

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteRule ^(.*)\&(.*)$ $1\%26$2

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^$ /Main_Page [R]

well for starters, wgServer should include a protocol (http://localhost or https://localhost

wgScriptPath should not be ".". Just make it be the empty string ""

Im not sure what RewriteRule ^(.*)\&(.*)$ $1\%26$2 does in practise but i suspect that might cause problems

If you set $wgServer = "localhost";, your wiki will only be accessible from "localhost" (the own server) and not from external clients.

You should set $wgServer to the public accessible URL of the wiki (probably ditwiki.com).

Looks like you've already fixed that. You should look at Manual:Combating spam, since it seems your wiki is being attacked by spambots.
