Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

after a transwiki-import i could not search for the imported Article.
so i tried the following at my debian-testing:

# cd /usr/share/mediawiki1.5/maintenance/
# php updateSearchIndex.php
Updating searchindex between 20060626091530 and 20060627091530

A database error has occurred

running "php updateSearchIndex.php may use old tables:

I lost my "Recent Changes".

Then I wanted to search for less than 4 Letter-Words:
Adding
 [mysqld]
 ft_min_word_len=3
 [myisamchk]
 ft_min_word_len=3
to my /etc/mysql/my.cnf

mysql> repair table searchindex quick;

I can now search for the new imported article, but the "recent changes" are
still missing and the php-scripts are still not running.
