Hi, there,
I partially solved the problem thanks to a precious suggestion (thanks Hershel): to update
the version of Metrolook to 1.33 (which I had not done).
Now the skin is the correct one, I see the SideBar and also the images.
I still have the problem of not being able to access my wiki with my administrator
credentials (WikiSysop) or with those of any other user, i.e: NO LOGIN at all.
Given that the update script did not show any errors except this one (for Anonymous and
some other user):
... rev_id=8578
User name "Anonymous" is usable, cannot create an anonymous actor for it. Run
maintenance/cleanupUsersWithNoId.php to fix this situation
What else can I do?

Subject: Failed to upgrade from 1.32.5 to 1.33.1
Hi, there,
I'm not new to the MediaWiki update process.
I have already updated major and minor releases in the past (i.e. from 1.29 to 1.32 and
from 1.32 to 1.32.5).
Today I tried to update to 1.33.1 and after performing all the preparatory steps:
. Check the requirements
. Read the release notes
. Back up existing files and the database
. Unpack the new files in a new and empty folder on my server
. Upgrade extensions
. Copied all files (and directories) from the old installation (images, LocalSettings,
skins, etc.)
I run the update script but, unlike the previous updates, the wiki
. did not show my default skin (Metrolook),
. did not show images,
. did not show the SideBar
. and especially did not allow me (WikiSysop, nor other users) to login (the wiki asked me
to provide a password longer than 8 characters)
I didn't investigate any further; these result was enough for me to go back to my
footsteps...restored the wikiDB, run the update script in the old (1.32.5) maintenance
directory and now everything works fine (as expected).
Did I forget any steps, or made something wrong during the update process?
ProductVersion
MediaWiki1.32.5
PHP7.2.17-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (apache2handler)
MariaDB10.1.38-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
Any little help is appreciated.
