When I ran mediawiki for the first time and it ran the web setup program I received the following error right at the beginning of running this file: config/index.php
Warning: main(convertLinks.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/stephenb/public_html/wiki/maintenance/updaters.inc on line 9
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'convertLinks.inc' (include_path='') in /home/stephenb/public_html/wiki/maintenance/updaters.inc on line 9
I fixed my problem by changing lines 9-10 in file: maintenance/updaters.inc to include the path '../maintenance/' in the require_once statements.
This issue occurred in the 1.4.0 release.
file: maintenance/updaters.inc, lines 9-10
require_once '../maintenance/convertLinks.inc'; require_once '../maintenance/InitialiseMessages.inc';
