dealing with an old bug and MW 1.16
by Bill Traynor 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Sorry to dredge up the past, but yesterday I restored a version 1.16 wiki from backup and my users can not upload PDFs anymore. The error returned is: Fatal error: Call to a member function toHtml() on a non-object in /<my wiki dir>/ImagePage.php on line 457 I suspect a thumbnailing issue, as the PDF files do actually upload. And this only occurs with PDFs. I've scheduled an upgrade on Saturday to 1.22, but I have to fix this before hand. I've already changed all perms on /images to 777 to rule that out. I'm at a loss what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Bill

I tried to install Mediawiki 1.22.0. I succeeded with the installation for many other version before. But this time I failed. Here is how it went: the installer did not accept that I run my MySQL database on a different port. I'm quite sure that former versions of Mediawiki did. First of all I thought that the problem are missing privileges in the MySQL database but I could connect fine with mysql command line utility.

Failed: run MySQL on a different port
by Mucke, Tobias, FCIT-F2 04 Jan '14

Hi everybody, sorry I'm a little bit frustrated after the todays' evening. I tried to install Mediawiki 1.22.0. I succeeded with the installation for many other version before. But this time I failed. Here is how it went: the installer did not accept that I run my MySQL database on a different port. I'm quite sure that former versions of Mediawiki did. First of all I thought that the problem are missing privileges in the MySQL database but I could connect fine with mysql command line utility. For the installation my workaround was to use the default port. It just went fine as expected. After the installation I tried again to change the port number but with no success. Any ideas? Does anybody else experience this issue too? What else could I try out? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, Tobias

switch($X){case 'Y':trigger_error("can you believe \$X is NOT Y but Z"); }

In LocalSettings.php I put switch($wgSitename){case 'ABJ': trigger_error("can you believe \$wgSitename is $wgSitename and not ABJ?!",E_USER_WARNING);} For each HTTP GET, I see in /var/log/apache2/error.log: [Fri Jan 03 15:48:43.103883 2014] [:error] [pid 6608] [client 127.0.0.1:52043] PHP Warning: can you believe $wgSitename is ABJ and not ABJ?! in /home/jidanni/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php on line 28 PHP Warning: can you believe $wgSitename is 0 and not ABJ?! in /home/jidanni/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php on line 28 So there is apparently two runs going on per each one HTTP GET. But how in the world does it execution happen for the second run inside the case statement's ABJ switch if at the same time it is 0? Or is this some weird php/apache echoing?
