Presumably the updater should be fixed to create the archive table if
it's missing, unless we have some valid reason to support setups without
an archive table(?!?).
The archive table already existed in our first release, so there's no
update step to add it.
If it's the only thing missing, then cut-n-pasting the table definition
out of tables.sql and manually adding it may resolve the issue.

Hi Brion,
thanks for that! I ran the archive section of tables.sql on the
database and then ran update.php - it worked flawlessly :)
I'm not sure how I ended up without that table, but my predecessor did
have a tendency to hack things to pieces (and not bother to document
what he had done).
Thanks for the quick response!
Dan

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l Hi all,
I spoke to soon it seems. The wiki is now up and running with the new
database structure under 1.14.0 but I have noticed a problem with user
accounts and specifically capitalisation.
Our wiki uses HTML basic auth (hooked into the university web
authentication system) so people's university usernames are
automatically passed through into mediawiki.
The problem is, even though the code we used to override AuthPlugin is
the same as the one we used in the previous version, something weird has
happened which means that our usernames (previously all lowercase) are
now no-longer valid. Mediawiki seems to always capitalise the first
letter of each username which means that I can't access user pages.
For example, the link:
http://www.myserver.ac.uk/mediawiki/index.php/User:yjl24
... automatically becomes:
http://www.ccbi.cam.ac.uk/micklemlab/index.php/User:Yjl24
... when I try to access it and I am informed that "There is currently
no text in this page.".
I realise that this is probably a feature of the newer version of
mediawiki rather than a bug as such, but I would like to disable this
feature to allow me to have all lower case usernames in line with our
uni web auth system.
I would be very happy if someone could point me in the right direction
so I have a solution and am able to make our user pages accessible
again. I'm happy to include any and all relevant source code if necessary.
Thanks in advance,
Dan T.
