Can't access my wiki without resetting password each time
Hi.

I'm new to wiki's and it might be that I'm doing something wrong. Every time I, and my other members, try to access our wiki (https://pifusas.miraheze.org/wiki/Forside) we need to reset our passwords to be able to enter. The system does not accept our newly created passwords as we submit them if we revisit after browser has been closed.

Regards Sindre (talk)

Hi, I am also new at Miraheze and I have a very similar problem. I have been granted a new private wiki (Thank you, Miraheze). I am not able to use the newly created password, even if I just log out and try logging back without closing the window. It accepts the password, but does not login, it just says something like I do not have rights to read. I have checked cookies, they are enabled. I have tried to erase them, no success. Regards Adamk (talk)

Mail from Miraheze in Gmail spamfolder
When received mail from the Miraheze server it's delivered in the spam folder at Google Gmail servers. I reported this before at IRC and it was fixed for a while, but goes wrong again.

A copy/paste of the mail header below. When looking to that it looks like SPF is not working optimal since the status is neutral instead of permitted. I also suggest to look at http://mxtoolbox.com/domain/miraheze.org/ as well for advise, which suggest to add dmarc and optimize 3 DNS settings. And take a look at https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/check?domain=miraheze.org which suggest to add DKIM --- Mail header ---

 * I added our IPv6 addresses to our SPF record. Southparkfan (talk) 16:11, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I just check it with the e-mail watchlist function. Still goes to spam folder. --Jurjendevries (talk) 22:57, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Was the SPF still denied by miraheze.org? I do not have this error at all with Outlook. Southparkfan (talk) 17:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The SPF is not authorative. Like an agent, it neither confirms nor denys. John (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm going to work on this today and in the future as a continuation project as the mail setup is my area here. I have already added DKIM recently. John (talk) 15:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I've done a bit of work on this, the SPF record accepts our emails and the DKIM set up seems valid. There should no longer be any issues with this hopefully. John (talk) 16:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that I receive an e-mail today in my Google inbox folder instead of the spam folder. Great job, thanks! --Jurjendevries (talk) 10:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Our wiki is giving an error
Hi, I just tried to visit the wiki (Aikatsu! Photo on Stage!!) to add something, and suddenly it's giving me (and all other visitors) an error. It was working about half an hour ago when I was there.

The message it's showing is the following:

MediaWiki internal error.

Exception caught inside exception handler.

Set $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; at the bottom of LocalSettings.php to show detailed debugging information.

 * A fault at my side caused temp. problems at your wiki. It has been fixed, sorry for the issues. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else. Southparkfan (talk) 15:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Constant error
There seems to be a error when I click on links that is similar to the below:

[811d20be] 2016-02-02 00:07:52: Fatal exception of type MWException

Note: the error message doesn't actually appear blue.

I really don't like it, and it is seemingly effecting  all  Miraheze wikis. Could you please fix this? Lemondoge T C GC 00:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

My users and I are getting this error too. It seems if I refresh multiple times, I'll actually be able to see the page, but doing that while editing is extremely annoying. Rikki21 (talk) 04:54, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks like an error occured on one of our mwservers. Investigating. Southparkfan (talk) 06:49, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Update: the CSS magic word was not recognized on mw1:

display:inline-block not working correctly for Chrome
I'm unsure where to ask this, but as the inline-block command works on Chrome from other websites I am assuming it's a wiki issue? This is what I'm working on. It displays correctly in Firefox and IE, but not Chrome. Does anyone happen to know why? Rikki21 (talk) 00:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, It might just be a chrome error, try using Explorer/Firefox. SleepyMode  10:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Several pbs on wiki "ggdr"
Hi, I have 3 problems on the wiki "ggdr" (http://ggdr.miraheze.org) ! Erreur lors de la création de la miniature : convert: unable to open image `/mnt/mediawiki-static/ggdrwiki/b/bd/Schma_de_ligne_030.png': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2709. convert: unable to open file `/mnt/mediawiki- static/ggdrwiki/b/bd/Schma_de_ligne_030.png' @ error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/3922. convert: no images defined `/tmp/transform_660dcd41af4e-1.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3210. Error code: 1 What's the matter? Babskwal (talk) 10:43, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * on the home page (only: it works normally on all the other pages), "HTTP 500 error"; why that and only on the home page ???
 * when the users try to connect to ggdr, they can't, and have to make as if they had forgotten their password, change it and then connect... ?
 * the first time I inserted files, it has worked correctly; but since the last week, instead of the image, it displays
 * Seems fixed to me?
 * I don't understand it?
 * I don't know why this fails, but replacing the "é" with an "e" (when either uploading or renaming) seems to fix the issue for me. I'll investigate why special characters fail. Southparkfan (talk) 11:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * 1. OK, thanx !
 * 2. When I try to connect with my password, I get :

Vous ne pouvez pas lire cette page, pour la raison suivante : L’action que vous essayez de réaliser n’est permise qu’aux utilisateurs d'un des groupes : Administrateurs, member.
 * The only solution I found is to ask for a new password...
 * 3. If renaming can fix the pb, I can always use "e" instead of "é" ! Babskwal (talk) 13:33, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Problem again... :(
 * Fixed avoiding the "é". Babskwal (talk) 10:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this is a known issue with foreign-language wikis? As a logged in steward, when I navigate to the wiki I get a permission error. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * PS: I get 504 gateway timeouts trying to load the main page. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Points 1&3 fixed (new main page without parser functions). Don't know for #2 : the only solution I've found to avoid this permission error is ask to change ther password... Babskwal (talk) 11:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
