hi,
our mediawiki 1.15.1 has the following problem:
watching, navigating, searching,... everything works fine but whenever we try to edit a page we run into dificulties since the last few days: the browser stops after a while - showing an empty page. no edit-window, no error-message, ...strange! :-(
FF leaves an empty page. IE says: (the german version of) the website could not be shown.
i tried debugging:
- apache-log: nothing in error_log nor access_log - LocalSettings.php: "$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;" - nothing shown.
i have to add, that the wiki is one of a wiki-family (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family); the others are working fine.
does anybody know how to find out what's going on there? any help is appreciated.
kind regards jens
hi,
is it enough to change the sources by extracting and copying the tarball over the existing installation, or do i need to run the update.php script? any changes in the database-schema?
kind regards jens

Why not just run it?

It has no database changes. Running update.php is usually not needed for maintenance releases. You can easily verify that the patch doesn't change any sql file.

Copy config? I don't know how you have designed it, but on most wikifamilies you don't need to move around files to run update.php And for running it 20 times, that's the reason scripts have for loops.
Dear Tim,

thanks - that was the main-information i was looking for :-)
[wiki-family] we are using http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Scenario_3:_Quick_set-up
different config, different databases. is there a better/new way to do it?
kind regards jens
