Hey, I upgraded from 1.8.2 to 1.10 and my Special:Version page comes up empty. Any ideas why and how to fix it?
MW: 1.10 MySQL Server 5.0 PHP5 Apache 2.2.4 Windows 2003 SP1
I checked the Apache error log and I get the following entry:
(20024)The given path misformatted or contained invalid characters: Cannot map GET /wiki/index.php/Special:Specialpages HTTP/1.1 to file
I researched this error and found a couple of posts regarding this maybe being an issue with Apache on Windows and an issue around colons in the URL. All the other special pages are working, so I am not convinced yet that this is the issue.
Thanks, Andreas

This is probably an interaction with one of your extensions or else you're using one of the converter-based languages (Zh, Sr, perhaps Kk?) with certain versions of PHP; there have been a few issues with certain ones and that's probably fixed in 1.11.

That's just because you're running Apache on Windows and it's whiny. It's harmless. :)

One of my wikis has never displayed anything on the Special:Version page. It is the only wiki I have secured (https:// and .htaccess password protected) and have always just assumed that was the cause of it. It is version 1.10and has no extensions installed except for ParserFunctions. My other wikis (which are http:// instead of https:// and don't have .htaccess password protection) are similarly configured and all display the Special:Version text just fine.
I don't know whether it was putting a wiki on a secured page or having it .htaccess password protected or both that caused this, but it is the only variable I can think of.

I have the same problem on several MediaWiki setups unter Debian GNU/Linux "Etch"; Special:Version is fine immediately after installing, so basically it seems not to be a problem with PHP.
I could track down the faulty extension: It seems, that the "Cite" extensions [1] causes the error, at least in my installations: uncommenting the extension brings back Special:Version. It doesn't matter, if I'm using a (very) old or the latest version from SVN.
However, the extension itself seems to work properly ;)
