Hi,
I have fresh installation of MediaWiki 1.37. When trying to use VisualEditor error comes:
Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: (curl error: no status set)
It's seems to be specific error as no status is set for curl error.
Any hints?
Topic on Extension talk:VisualEditor
Installing parsoid
Isn't Parsoid bundled by default in MediaWiki 1.35+?
It is installed by default, but: Many problems are solved by installing and configuring Parsroid and a visual editor.
OK, so how to reinstall or reconfigure it?
I worked very hard on this and spent a lot of time. If you wish, I can share my knowledge with you for a normal fee
So what is the fee?
Should a program that is free and open source be installed and configured free by others?
I asked about price, not philosophical arguments...
Give as much as you'd like.
Email me every problem I have to fix for you.
I've stumbled on this thread as I'm faced with the same problem with no solution. I find Sokote zaman's response above totally bizarre, as participation on an open forum about open source projects is entirely voluntary, and the existence of Stack Exchange is proof that people are willing to provide their solutions to others for free, and for those that aren't, it simply isn't acceptable to post passive aggressive rhetorical questions just to waste people's time.
The information in stack overflow should be helpful in case anyone finds this in the future. The wiki page for visualeditor has a lot of outdated and confusing information and probably could be made much more concise.
Search on stackoverflow for "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server: http-bad-status on Fresh Mediawiki 1.35.0 LTS"
For me, the problem simply disappeared after an upgrade from 1.38 to 1.39 including all extensions.
