New subject: [Mediawiki-l] problem upgrading from 1.5.3 to 1.6.7

7 Jul 2006


      I'm seeing the same thing.
What are the long term consequences of changing the key length in order to use this version?
Also, since bug 1322 was first reported in 1.4beta4 and 1.5alpha1, and I didn't have a problem with versions 1.5.3-8, why would this bug now effect my system when going to 1.6.7?
Thanks
-Ira

Some time ago Rob Church told in this list that :
...
This is a known issue for some users, and various suggestions, advice
and workarounds are available at
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322. I'd check to see
if one of these works.
although bug 1322 is curently invalid in bugzilla.
