View source for Restarting Parsoid

== Restart ==
If Parsoid was installed from binary, the configuration file is in /usr/lib/parsoid/src/api/localsettings.js.

If Parsoid was [[parsoid installation|installed from source]] in /usr/local/src/parsoid/api/localsettings.js<br/>

Copy localsettings.js.example to localsettings.js if it's not already there.<br/> '''Please don't overwrite it if it's already there'''.
In localsettings.js, add the wiki prefix (same as $wgVisualEditorParsoidPrefix in LocalSettings.php) and api URL, e.g.

<syntaxhighlight lang="php" style="margin-left:1em;">
parsoidConfig.setInterwiki( 'YOUR-PREFIX-HERE', 'http://path-to/api.php' );
</syntaxhighlight>

Restart Parsoid to load the new settings:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="margin-left:1em;">
/etc/init.d/parsoid stop
/etc/init.d/parsoid start
</syntaxhighlight>

==Troubleshooting==

Parsoid logs are in : /var/log/parsoid

;Parsoid won't start
:Check the configuration. Any non-existing wikis in the configuration will prevent Parsoid from starting, e.g. if you deleted a wiki (even a testwiki).
