Hello, I'm trying to install MediaWiki on CentOS with php-fpm, memcached, and nginx over SSL. If you've seen the Ars Technica "How to set up a Safe and Secure Web Server" ( http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/) I'm basically attempting to replicate all the applications they installed on Ubuntu to CentOS.
So long story short, I'm installing Mediawiki as per the instructions here: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/02/web-served-7-wiki-wiki-wiki/ Whenever I attempt to browse to the default index page on my wiki to perform the install, I get a blank page. I check my nginx error logs and I get this: 2013/11/03 11:27:37 [error] 22415#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: memcache (path: /var/run/memcached/memcached.sock) in /var/www/html/BlindSeeker/public_html/wiki/includes/templates/NoLocalSettings.php on line 50" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.2, server: www.blindseeker.localdomain, request: "GET /wiki/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.soc:", host: "192.168.1.11" So, understand my web-foo isn't strong, but from what I can make of this, Mediawiki is refusing to use memcache for session management. php-fpm has been told where the unix socket for memcached is located, and other php applications (vanilla, wordpress) are able to use it effectively. I can also use nc -U /var/run/memcached/memcached.sock and connect to the socket successfully, so I don't know why MediaWiki is refusing to use it. So I've tried hitting the #mediawiki IRC channel for some answers, and the only suggestion I got back was to see if safe_mode is turned on via php.ini, other suggestions via google state to turn on verbose logging under LocalSettings.php, but the file doesn't exist yet -- I haven't finished the installation phase since the install page won't render. So, I'm at a loss here. any suggestions? -- when does reality end? when does fantasy begin? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
