Well, I installed mediawiki in a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 installation. Restored the database, then used pwb and everything worked perfectly.

@Dvorapa yeah, I can confirm that LocalSettings has the domain specified and not localhost. I'm at a loss on what could be wrong. I'll try to do a fresh install of mediawiki on a different Ubuntu VM.

@Dalba It looks like I got a connection error: https://pastebin.com/smncxm0A

I added this variable to the family file, but no change in error.

@zhuyifei1999 yes, that is the endpoint. Going to wiki.[REDACTED].com/api.php gets me the same page as www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php

How about with some parameters? wiki.[REDACTED].com/api.php?action=query&format=json should look like https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json

@zhuyifei1999 yes, that is the endpoint. Going to wiki.[REDACTED].com/api.php gets me the same page as www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php

Just a prompt to see if anyone has any idea?

@zhuyifei1999 Request being made:

Added the apipath variable but that didn't do anything. I also downloaded the latest core.tar.gz with the fixed generate-family.py, but the same issue persists with the pwb-api disconnect.

Yeah, I tried editing the families path directly:

I was using botpasswords, but just tried using normal login but same issue. So from what I can tell:

I changed permissions of user-config.py using sudo chmod 666, but it is still complaining that the file is writeable:

I created the user-config.py file using the initial setup via "python3 pwb.py login". It prompts for the creation of the file. The contents were correct. It is in the core folder.

@Aklapper MediaWiki is 1.30.0 using Ubuntu 17.10

@Dvorapa thanks for the quick reply!
