Hello All,
I am supporting a MediaWiki installation with the following stats:
MediaWiki (
http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.4.12
PHP (
http://www.php.net/): 5.1.2 (apache2handler)
MySQL (
http://www.mysql.com/): 5.0.18
Everything seems to be working except the search function. No matter
what it returns 0 results, even when I search with terms found in the
wikidb/searchindex table. I realize the first thing everyone would say
is "Upgrade that puppy", but upgrading isn't going to be feasible in the
near future.
The only errors I can see anywhere are in the apache log,:
PHP Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in
/vol0/www/localhost/htdocs/mediawiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php
The error also comes up when searching. I may be barking up the wrong
tree here in thinking this is a symptom of the issue.
I've repaired the searchindex table just in case, and still can't
search. I apologize if this is a commonly known issue, but I can't find
anything in google to help me troubleshoot it. Search is a rather
important feature of our wiki.
What do you think could be the problem?
