When I'm trying to create a subpage to the MainPage like this:

http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page/Subpage

the following error pops up:

Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 404)

This did not help. I use IIS on Windows 10.

Here are some lines from the log:

[DBConnection] Wikimedia\Rdbms\LBFactory::destroy: closing connection to database 'localhost'.

[DBConnection] Wikimedia\Rdbms\LBFactory::destroy: closing connection to database 'localhost'.

[http] HTTP complete: POST http://localhost/abwiki/rest.php/localhost/v3/transform/html/to/wikitext/Main_Page%2Fsubpage code=404 size=102 total=0.476158 connect=0.002153

[VisualEditor] ApiParsoidTrait::requestRestbase: Received HTTP 404 from RESTBase

This reminds me of the bug report at phab:T269174 which has no solution either...

@Malyacko According to the documentation:

Allowing VisualEditor on page titles containing slashes

If you are serving MediaWiki from apache2, you will need to add the following to your top level server configuration (often a <VirtualHost> section in /etc/apache2/site-enabled/000-default.conf or similar):

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

But there's nothing here on IIS. Should I even try configuring MediaWiki on IIS, Windows 10? I'm totally confused at the moment.

In which wiki were you going to create a subpage?

@Tanbirzx In their MediaWiki installation, obviously.

@Tanbirzx MediaWiki 1.36.1

I added some lines from the log in case it might help. For now it looks like I'm not going to solve those VisualEditor/Parsoid problems.

@MrJConstantine Maybe mediawiki 1.36.1 is not compatible for Windows 10. At first disable your IIS software then try it again. Because IIS may problematic for mediawiki. Secondly you can try the SourceEditor.

@Tanbirzx Please stop posting dubious FUD which makes no sense, e.g. "Maybe mediawiki 1.36.1 is not compatible for Windows 10" or "disable your IIS software". This is not the first time you're posting non-sense here. Thanks.

@Malyacko I am sorry for reply this actually i don't know much about this problem. I searched a task in phabricator about that but there has nothing. So i reply as i know. I have no idea about IIS. Thanks

@Tanbirzx If you don't understand what are you talking about, please do not post anything and do not give any advises because by spreading such information not only you are not helping but you confuse people. Thank you.

@MrJConstantine i am sorry for my reply. Thank you

@Tanbirzx According to the documentation IIS 7+ is supported if MW is on Microsoft Windows. How can I try it with IIS disabled if my MediaWiki is hosted on IIS? I don't know how can I create a subpage using SourceEditor.
