Hey y'all, I'm astounded by MediaWIKI after trying unsuccessfully to get PHPwiki to run, I decided to just try MediaWiki and found the install painless and the functionallity wonderful. But I'm getting this error when I try to hit any history page. It's not an error related to the sysop acct... Did I miss an option in the setup? I'm currently exploring the idea of wiki as a journal, so email me for the url. (I might set another one up to test this.) Great, easy setup with Ipowerweb.com hosting, btw. Error below! A database query syntax error has occurred. This could be because of an illegal search query (see Searching ActionHourWiki), or it may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: SELECT old_id,old_user,old_comment,old_user_text,old_timestamp,old_minor_edit FROM old USE INDEX (name_title_timestamp) WHERE old_namespace=0 AND old_title='Main_Page' ORDER BY inverse_timestamp LIMIT 0,50 from within function "PageHistory::history". MySQL returned error "1072: Key column 'name_title_timestamp' doesn't exist in table".
Please provide the output of the config session. Did you encounter any error messages during installation? Apparently, indexes have not been created during DB setup. They are defined in maintenance/indexes.sql, you can run this script using mysql client or e.g. phpmyadmin
No follow-up response from reporter after several months. Current versions define indexes in the main tables.sql, so it would be really hard to get this wrong if eg doing a manual installation. Resolving as INVALID.
