Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2011-01-25 05:09:21 UTC
Error message is: global default 'vector' is invalid for field skin.

I have no clue how Vector would suddenly be considered an invalid skin, that's very strange.
Comment 2 Andrew Garrett 2011-01-25 05:28:03 UTC
Weiiiiird. Does it occur on other installations of 1.17?
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-01-25 20:12:06 UTC
appears to be working now.
Comment 4 Chad H. 2011-01-25 20:21:22 UTC
Was anything committed to fix this?

I find it *very* hard to believe this magically resolved itself.
Comment 5 Priyanka Dhanda 2011-01-26 01:57:24 UTC
It was a change in WikiEditor and Vector config params that took effect in 1.17.
Should be fixed now.
Comment 6 wiel 2012-06-10 16:03:45 UTC
Although I'm running 1.19, this error still exists. What are these parms you're talking baout? Can they be set by the admin?
Comment 7 Platonides 2012-06-10 16:06:55 UTC
wiel, your problem is probably a different one. "Internal error" is just a php fatal error. Please look at the php error log for hints.
Also, you may need to update some of your extensions.
Comment 8 wiel 2012-06-10 16:23:22 UTC
Looks pretty much the same though:

Global default 'tct' is invalid for field skin

Comment 9 Platonides 2012-06-10 16:31:26 UTC
Do you have $wgDefaultSkin = 'tct'; in LocalSettings.php ?
Comment 10 wiel 2012-06-10 16:41:16 UTC
(In reply to comment #9)
> Do you have $wgDefaultSkin = 'tct'; in LocalSettings.php ?

Yes. 

I thought I had found the reason of the error, but it didn't work:

I had copied the Monobook directory to a new directory 'tct' to be able to change to a new layout. But I forgot to make tct versions of Monobook.php/Monobook.deps.php and edit it, replacing all references from Monobook to tct. I did so now but to no avail.

BTW, thanks for reacting so fast!

I guess you didn't modify things enough. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning
