Cannot run the tool locally

Hi @Tpt and @Benestar, thanks for creating this tool! I'm trying out query builder interfaces, and listed the ones I managed to get to work in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/Query_data#SPARQL_query_builders, and I'd love to be able to put ppp-sparql there too.

I tried to spin up this tool in another account (available here), since the one at https://tools.wmflabs.org/ppp-sparql/ is down, but it doesn't seem to work. If I try making a simple query, the requests to query.php return the following error:

cURL error 51: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'grammatical.backend.askplatyp.us' (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

If I change this line to use http:// instead of https://, I get a different error:

Client error: POST http://grammatical.backend.askplatyp.us/ resulted in a 405 Not Allowed response:

405 Not Allowed

(truncated...)

Is there something I can do on my side to get this to work?

Hi,

AFAIK the project moved to a different architecture, so the grammatical parser no longer lives at grammatical.backend.askplatyp.us.
You can try running your own: https://github.com/ProjetPP/PPP-QuestionParsing-Grammatical

Hi https://askplatyp.us/ now returns the SPARQL queries so the eaiest way to use it is to go to https://askplatyp.us/ and click on the explain buttons near the query results to get the SPARQL query.

If you want an API, you could use https://qa.askplatyp.us/v0

Hi @progval and @Tpt, thanks for the context. I am asking about this repository in particular, though. If I understand correctly, this is the code behind https://tools.wmflabs.org/ppp-sparql/, so my hope would be to fix it so that the tool could go live again.

Is that something that sounds doable to you? I could try to submit a PR if you give me an idea of what I should change in the code.
