Apologies. It IS 1.3:
Apache/1.3.29 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.14 OpenSSL/0.9.7b
mod_perl/1.29
MySQL version is 3.23.56
PHP version 4.1.2 is 'latest Debian stable version' so I'm told, so the
admin isn't keen to update (I don't admin that server). I noticed on the
Mediawiki pages that 4.3 or greater is recommended, and that issues might
crop up with 4.2 and earlier - could this be one of them?
I believe I ran into this same issue on my mediawiki debian stable install as well.
The solution was to install a more recent version of PHP that had been backported:
From:
http://wiki.breakset.com/wiki/breakset_wiki:Installing
added:
deb
http://debian.moolfreet.com ./
to:
/etc/apt/source-list
and then installed a backported later version of php4 as root via:
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
The version is now 4.3.4 and I have not seen any SQL error messages since.
I do intend on adding this information to the mediawiki documentation ASAP.
Hope this helps.
