1. Install MediaWiki 2. Test with IPv4 3. Add IPv6 using exactly the same VHOST settings [78219220] /Unofficial_Bitfinex_Wiki Exception from line 1169 of /home/httpd/vhosts/bfxwiki.everdot.org/httpdocs/includes/WebRequest.php: Unable to determine IP.

IPv6 works fine with previous versions of MediaWiki and I enabled support for IPv6 on most of my wiki's so I guess I won't be "upgrading" those to 1.22.0.
Can you tell us the names and versions of: a) operating system or Linux distribution b) HTTP server software (e.g. Apache) As well as the following information from phpinfo() or php -i: c) PHP version d) PCRE version I'm trying to figure out whether or not this is the same issue as bug 58213.
I am guessing it IS the same issue as bug 58213, sorry for not finding it (I did search for ipv6 here but did not see that). I guess it is duplicate due to me using basically the same setup. # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.9 (Final) # apachectl -v Server version: Apache/2.2.3 # php --version PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jul 12 2013 17:04:59) Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies ]# rpm -qa | grep pcre pcre-6.6-6.el5_6.1 pcre-devel-6.6-6.el5_6.1

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 58213 ***
As noted on the duplicate, this is an issue with CentOS shipping a pcre version which is like six years old and should really be upgraded by CentOS.

The problem is that recommended instructions to upgrade from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 are basically "install CentOS 6 on a new machine, then copy your user data over".[1] :/ [1]: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide/MigratingFiveToSix
> should really be upgraded This is not going to happen. You can keep supporting a widely deployed server operating system or in practise encurage people to just stop upgrading MediaWiki. This is the choice we will be making for now. Reality is that users like me try the latest version of MediaWiki and find that it is broken. I feel lucky that I found out that MediaWiki 1.22 is broken on Centos 5.9 during the setup of a new wiki, now I know I should not even consider upgrading other MediaWiki installations on our servers until we upgrade the servers (and move to Centos 6.x) 6 months to a year from now. We'll be running old MW in the meantime. "CentOS shipping a pcre version which is like six years old and should really be upgraded by CentOS" is like saying "everyone should be nice to each other". Sure, that would be great but reality is that it ain't going to happen. As for MW, people will just say "latest version is broken" and not use it. I don't know how much work would be involved in making it work on CentOS 5.x but if it's just a matter of changing a few lines of code then you should just do it.

Update per https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_1.22/Known_issues&oldid=847749 which seems to be the master list.
