Using Parsoid with Auth Remoteuser Extension on XAMPP (Windows)

Question

I have been searching for the last week trying to find an answer on how to use Visual Editor/Parsoid and Auth Remoteuser extensions together.

I am getting the following error when trying to Create/Edit a page:

Error loading data from server: apierror-visualeditor-docserver-http: HTTP 500. Would you like to retry?

Current environment:

• OS: Windows Server 2012 RT
• XAMPP: v3.2.2
• PHP: v7.1.12
• SQL: MariaDB 10.1.29
• Apache: v2.4
• MediaWiki: 1.30.0

LocalSettings.php

$wgEnableWriteAPI = true;

wfLoadExtension( 'VisualEditor' );

$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-enable'] = 1;
$wgDefaultUserOptions['visualeditor-editor'] = "visualeditor";
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'visualeditor-enable';

$wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] = array(
    'url' => 'http://localhost:8000',
    'domain' => 'localhost',
);

config.yaml

mwApis:
  uri: 'http://localhost/api.php'
  domain: 'localhost'

httpd.conf

<Directory "D:/Wiki/htdocs">
    Options None 
    AllowOverride All 
    Order allow,deny 
    Allow from all 

    AuthType SSPI 
    SSPIAuth On 
    SSPIAuthoritative On 
    SSPIOfferBasic On 
    SSPIOmitDomain On 
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

When I go to Parsoid server from my computer, it is working. http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8000. If I disable the Auth Remoteuser extension, then Visual Editor works fine.

I tried forwarding the cookies as suggested in the Parsoid documentation and it doesn't work. This Wiki is not private.

When I add the following to the httpd.conf Visual Editor works:

Allow from 127.0.0.1
Satisfy Any

The only problem is then, it doesn't automatically log in the user using their Windows Credential.

Answer 1

might be a bit late, but I just had the same issue. Seems like this solves it. Just comment the deprecated setting in php.ini error_reporting=E_ALL -> ;error_reporting=E_ALL

'error_reporting' key under section '[PHP]' causes the issue.
