Additionnal configurations

Visual Editor

Some changes in the config of /etc/mediawiki/parsoid/settings.js :

parsoidConfig.setMwApi({ prefix: 'localhost', uri: 'http://localhost/wiki/api.php' });

And in /var/www/html/wiki/LocalSettings.php

# VisualEditor http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor
 require_once "$IP/extensions/VisualEditor/VisualEditor.php";
 // Enable by default for everybody
 $wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;
 // Don't allow users to disable it
 $wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';
 // OPTIONAL: Enable VisualEditor's experimental code features
#$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable-experimental'] = 1;
 // URL to the Parsoid instance
 // MUST NOT end in a slash due to Parsoid bug
 // Use port 8142 if you use the Debian package
$wgVisualEditorParsoidURL = 'http://localhost:8142';
$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array(
  // URL to the Parsoid instance
  // Use port 8142 if you use the Debian package
  'url' => 'http://localhost:8142',
  // Parsoid "domain", see below (optional)
  'domain' => 'localhost',
  // Parsoid "prefix", see below (optional)
  'prefix' => 'localhost'
);
#to make it work width foreground
$wgVisualEditorSupportedSkins = array( 'vector', 'monobook', 'foreground' );

Restart Parsoid

service parsoid restart

Troubleshooting

"Error loading data from server: HTTP 200. Would you like to retry?" see if php5-curl is installed
check if port, prefix and domain are the same in parsoid/settings.js and LocalSettings.php

cat /var/log/parsoid/parsoid.log

Datepicker jquery

To solve : "style module should define its position explicitly" when used with MW 1.26 : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Sprswqpt682hyjki . nano /var/www/html/wiki/resources/Resources.php add 'position' line :

'jquery.ui.datepicker' => array(
   'position' => 'top',
   'scripts' => 'resources/lib/jquery.ui/jquery.ui.datepicker.js',
