  • This site is pretty quiesced. The backend Ubuntu Service streams have stopped. Still working though so until I get up the energy to upgrad I'm going to just leave it. The reason I'm writing to entry is a private wiki I run started to fail with upgrades to PHP 8 and MySql 8. Had to backoff PHP 8 to 7.4 as particularly Semantic MediaWiki is incomatible with PHP 8. Still had a problem display revisions with the site until I used the MySQL Command CREATE INDEX page_timestamp ON revision (rev_timestamp,rev_actor); to create the non-existent Index page_timestamp. Revisions started to be displayed once I did that. I blame the failure on MySql *.0 FORCE INDEX optimization.
  • --Johnny (talk) 22:31, 3 February 2021 (EST) Upgrade, end of year, disk failure and over site in backup procedures caused a long recovery process but we're back. The upgrade to mediawiki 1.35 increased the minimum length of password and introduced the actor table which conspired to break the link between Johnny and his revisions. My backup procedure for mysqldump dumped directly to backup file so when the disk broke in that backup it corrupted the backup so I had to recover twice. I directly modified two sql tables user changed johnny id to 2 and actor aligned johnny with 2. Copy mysqldump now if successful so I'll always have one good copy.
WE'RE BACK

  • --Johnny 07:51, 16 January 2020 (EST) Strange URL containing 'A=0 or '0=A in web server logs mwssl blocking 'A=0 which is a bot testing for SQL injection vulnerabilities by closing a query with apostrophe, then setting a variable. There are also similar injects that deal with shell commands and/or file path traversals. Whether it's a "good bot" or a bad bot is unknown, but if the inject works, you have bigger issues to deal with. There's a 99% chance your site is not generating these style links and there is nothing you can do to stop them from crafting those urls unless you block the request(s) with a simple regex string or a more complex WAF such as ModSecurity.

It returns a warning message. This has broken a lot of Semantic Wiki code and is showing error messages. I've turned off error reporting in Apache and MediaWiki and am waiting on a fix.
