[Mediawiki-l] "Database error / Internal error" when saving pages

[Michael Randall]

I've seen this posted here before (found in the archives), but never saw a
solution.  I first tried installing an RC of 1.4, and hit this same problem.
I installed the last 1.3 release, and that went ok.  Just trying to upgrade
to 1.4 final now, and hitting this again.  Installation went ok, no errors,
but now when saving changes to a page, getting...
Database error
Internal error

The page actually *does* save ok, and the change appears in RecentChanges.
Creating a new page gives the same error, and again the page is created, but
the interesting thing in this case is that the link on the referring page
(where the new page link was created) *stays red* and still links to
'...action=edit', even if the page is refreshed.

Looks like whatever is referred to to find out if the page exists hasn't
been updated.  I've tried reading through the code, but it's really
stretching my PHP abilities - I'm only really up to copy 'n' paste PHP, not
understanding this complicated stuff ;)

Running...
Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.3.10
MySQL 3.23.33-log

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks...
