I tried upgrading from 1.21.3 to 1.22.0 last night. It worked on one server (PHP 5.5.3 and
mySQL 5.5.34)
but not on the second one (PHP 5.3.27 and mySQL 5.1.68) with exactly the same codebase.
There were no errors in the Apache error_log, but I'll describe the symptoms and maybe
someone might
have a theory what to try next...?
On server #1, I deployed 1.22.0 and copied my /images and LocalSettings.php files from
1.21.3,
then ran update.php. Everything worked. I copied the same files to server #2, ran
update.php,
and saw no errors.
Then I hit the main page (
whatever.com/wiki/Home) as an anonymous user.
When the home page rendered, it had this error message printed at the bottom:
Notice: Uncommitted DB writes (transaction from DatabaseBase::query
(WikiPage::pageData)).
in ...../w/includes/db/Database.php on line 3944
I clicked "Log In", and the home page just sat there. Running a "ps
uax" I saw these processes:

/home/me/public_html/w/index.php
I checked the job queue with maintenance/showJobs.php, and there were 0 jobs.
The processes were not exiting (my browser was still spinning), so I killed them by hand.
Then I tried it again: restored the database back to 1.21.3, reinstalled the 1.22.0 update
a second time,
and reran update.php. The same problems occurred.
That is all I know at the present time.
Any tips appreciated.
