Looks like something changed in the way the connection to the database is made. I'll try to find a fix but I'm not a PHP developer. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

The installation of Mediawiki 1.22.0 fails / can not connect to db as soon as you provide a port number e. g. localhost:3306. Unfortunately I'm still not able to locate the root cause. I'll try Mediawiki 1.21.3. I'll report soon.

I tried to install Mediawiki 1.22.0. I succeeded with the installation for many other version before. But this time I failed. Here is how it went: the installer did not accept that I run my MySQL database on a different port. I'm quite sure that former versions of Mediawiki did. First of all I thought that the problem are missing privileges in the MySQL database but I could connect fine with mysql command line utility. For the installation my workaround was to use the default port. It just went fine as expected. After the installation I tried again to change the port number but with no success. Any ideas? Does anybody else experience this issue too? What else could I try out? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, Tobias

Hi everybody, I had another problem with Mediawiki 1.22, but of the same type: the installation doesn't seek anymore the mysql.sock file in its location defined in the configuration file, but only in the location by default, which I changed. I was forced to do a symlink in the default location to be able to install mediawiki. I wonder if it's not a change of the library used by mediawiki to connect to mysql... Regards.
