If Nostalgia is the skin choosed in the preferences, special pages (with special: namespace), doesn't work any longer, causing the following error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class specialpage in c:\wamp\wiki\includes\SpecialPage.php on line 106 Programs used: php 4.3.11 MySQL 5.0.3-NT Alpha Apache 2.0.53 Running on Windows 98 as a testserver The title of the page will appear in the browser's titlebar, and the header of the page will load too (DOCTYPE, everything between <head> and </head>, and then the body tag. Finally the error, and nothing more then.) The user who have this problem, can't change the skin, because the preferences page is a special page too.

I just tried this on Wikimedia Commons - it seems to work fine.
Same error produced after a clean install. User began switching through skin choices and is now stuck after choosing the Nostalgia skin. On accessing any special page: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class specialpage in /public_html/wiki/includes/SpecialPage.php on line 106 (In reply to comment #0) > If Nostalgia is the skin choosed in the preferences, special pages (with special: namespace), doesn't > work any longer, causing the following error: > Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class specialpage in c:\wamp\wiki\includes\SpecialPage.php on line 106 > Programs used: > php 4.3.11 > MySQL 5.0.3-NT Alpha > Apache 2.0.53 > Running on Windows 98 as a testserver > The title of the page will appear in the browser's titlebar, and the header of the page will load too > (DOCTYPE, everything between <head> and </head>, and then the body tag.

Check the include_path setting in LocalSettings.php. Is the $IP variable set to the correct path? Add in a var_dump( get_included_files() ) right before the failed line and report back exactly what is listed. Do you have inaccessible parent directories in the path?
