*Fatal error*: Cannot redeclare wfprofilein() (previously declared in /xxxxxxxx/public_html/includes/profiler/Profiler.php:14) in */xxxxx/public_html/includes/ProfilerStub.php* on line *25*

I have Mediawiki installation went from 1.17 through 1.18 RC1 and to 1.18 - no problems. But another Mediawiki has had some problems going direct from 1.17 to 1.18 - I took out Recaptcha and now see this: *Fatal error*: Cannot redeclare wfprofilein() (previously declared in /xxxxxxxx/public_html/includes/profiler/Profiler.php:14) in */xxxxx/public_html/includes/ProfilerStub.php* on line *25* Not sure why...

This has usually worked well enough for me in the past, so I tried to repeat what worked before. Unfortunately, I'm still having terrible luck. I extracted 1.18 into a clean directory, copied over LocalSettings.php and my images folder (I have no extensions installed so I skipped that), and recreated my customized MonoBook skin. (For the skin, I copied the core MonoBook class file and made my tweaks to insert ads, AddThis, etc. For the monobook resource folder, I use symbolic links to all the files except the main.css, which I copied over and made one tweak to the background image.)

The relative URL /wiki/Special:SpecialPages worked well enough under 1.17.1 and below. I have *NEVER* had this much trouble upgrading MediaWiki. At this point, I'm probably going to throw in the towel. I can get 1.17.1 to work fine, so I'm reverting back to that. As much as I'd like to have the latest version installed, I can't afford this much down-time, or the time I've spent on this upgrade that I really need to be working on other projects. - -- Jeff Darlington General Protection Fault http://www.gpf-comics.com/ _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

And have an old StartProfiler.php. includes/ProfilerStub.php was moved to includes/profiler/Profiler.php and includes/profiler/ProfilerStub.php in 1.18 Basically what it looks like is happening is that you have a includes/ProfilerStub.php file from 1.17 and includes/profiler/ from 1.18. Because your StartProfiler.php likely uses the old method of a require_once (instead of autoloading as I believe we now do) MediaWiki is loading the 1.18 profiler code from includes/profiler/Profiler.php and then when it require your StartProfiler.php that old require_once is requiring the old 1.17 code from includes/ProfilerStub.php causing a fatal error as the old code tries to redefine the same method. If you don't need the profiler I recommend you delete your StartProfiler.php. If you do you should probably delete the require_once line. You'd also probably be better off clearing out all the outdated files of 1.17 code that were left behind since you extracted 1.18 over top of 1.17. Though the easiest way to do that is to just re-untar 1.18 in another directory, and move your actual LocalSettings, extensions, images/, etc... to there.

It should be noted that the MediaWiki docs recommend doing the following for an upgrade (after your backups): tar xvzf mediawiki-1.18.0.tar.gz -C /path/to/your/wiki/ --strip-components=1 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading#Unpack_the_new_files If this is out of date or will cause problems for 1.18, it should definitely be changed to reflect that. The users posting about profiler errors followed our instructions.
