BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1005807&group_id=34373&atid=411192 Originally submitted by Thomas Rother (thommie) 2004-08-09 09:34 Test upgrade of a running mediawiki 1.2.4 to 1.3.0 beta6 failed with a blank start page, code: <html><body></body></html> (no php at all) and the following error messages in the php error log: [09-Aug-2004 09:14:39] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/config/index.php:32) in Unknown on line 0 [09-Aug-2004 09:16:38] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1638 [09-Aug-2004 09:17:17] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1638 [09-Aug-2004 09:18:16] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1638 [09-Aug-2004 09:18:18] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1638 [09-Aug-2004 09:18:19] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1638 intraweb:/usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2 # Environment: Apache/1.3.28 PHP 4.3.1 (register_globals=off) MySQL 4.0.15-Max Install log attached ------------------------- Additional comments ------------------------ Date: 2004-08-09 10:09 Sender: SF user thommie Confirmed for a second wiki on the same machine with the same upgrade type (1.2.4 to 1.3.0 beta6) ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-09 11:56 Sender: SF user vibber Cannot reproduce with upgrade of freshly installed 1.2.4 to 1.3.0beta6. PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 4.0.17, set for English/UTF-8. The error is related to a badly specified title, so it would help to know more about your configuration (language settings, if you've customized messages such as the main page setting) and also if you could check whether other pages on the wiki work than the main page. Other wiki pages? Special pages? ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-09 12:55 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO From LocalSettings.php: $wgLanguageCode = "de"; $wgUseLatin1 = true; If I enter a page URL from the old 1.2.4 wiki into the new one, I get a valid page, but it is the startpage, not the sub-page: old URL https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki/index.php/Hauptseite new URL https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki2/index.php/Hauptseite#S ysop-Grundlagen The "new URL" page shows a lot of "#redirect [[Vorlage:Mainpage]] # Wikipedia-Portal"" links. ("Vorlage" means "Template"). "Recentchanges" ist also present, but with a lot of " (#redirect [[Vorlage:Diff]] ) (#redirect [[Vorlage:Hist]] ) . . #redirect [[Vorlage:Minoreditletter]] GP-Portalprojekt; )" entries. Unfortunately, the wikis are internal, just let me know what info you need, I will check it. ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-09 12:57 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Addendum: https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki2/index.php results in a blank page, but https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki2/index.php/Hauptseite shows the start page, but with the strange Redirect links. ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-09 13:01 Sender: SF user thommie Here is the output page for "Hauptseite" (main page) as described above ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-09 13:14 Sender: SF user vibber Ok, I haven't been able to reproduce the source of the problem on my test system yet, but the problem itself is that most of the MediaWiki: message pages were moved to the template namespace which were not supposed to. It's only supposed to move the ones that are _not_ part of MediaWiki's own localization system; when it moves its own messages it ends up screwing the whole thing up. You should be able to do a batch regeneration of the MediaWiki: namespace with the 'rebuildMessages.php' script in the maintenance directory; it has to be run from the command line and may be a bit tempermental. ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-09 14:27 Sender: SF user thommie Hi, I started intraweb:/usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/maintenance # php rebuildMessages.php rebuild Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace... intraweb:/usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/maintenance # But nothing much happens here ... I see no activities in the db, no script replieson the shell... How can I conrol if it has finished its job correctly? ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-10 07:18 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Brion, I can't see any changes in the database after "php rebuildMessages.php". I could also find no documentation on http://meta.wikimedia.org/.... ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-11 04:12 Sender: SF user vibber To get rebuildMessages working again: * Add this line near the top of includes/LoadBalancer.php: require_once( "Database.php" ); * Move this line in includes/commandLine.inc from near the bottom to near the top: define( "MEDIAWIKI", true ); (This is included in latest CVS, but anon CVS is behind.) ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-11 12:29 Sender: SF user thommie Tried fresh upgrade 1.24 -> CVS code (11.8.04). Installation error from maintenance/convertLinks.inc , see attachment.
Re-confirmed for update from 1.24 -> 1.3.1. The update process works fine, including the updates of the old database (now 23 tables instead of 19 for 1.2x). But the resulting wiki/database is somehow broken. PHP Error message: [25-Aug-2004 10:47:24] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/config/index.php:32) in Unknown on line 0 [25-Aug-2004 10:48:54] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1647 [25-Aug-2004 10:54:22] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1647 [25-Aug-2004 10:54:23] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/includes/Skin.php on line 1647 For details see previous comments. I also tried to use the maintenance/rebuildMessages.php, without success. It just doesn't start - although AdminSettings.php is present, there is no sql activity from that script and no php error msg.
Problem solved with "php maintenance/rebuildMessages.php" Enter "2" (brion: because output buffering is broken) Wait ... Script returns (after some time): "Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace... Clearing message cache...Done."
Problem was that essential MediaWiki: entries had been redirected into Template space, triggering bug 274. Should check the upgrade scripts to make sure this won't happen on a regular basis...
The template move script is no longer automatically run on update as of 1.4.0, so anyone who was using MediaWiki: pages for templates will need to manually update them on upgrade. This should now be safe, and avoid these kinds of weird upgrade problems. Resolving as fixed.
