Description Platonides 2008-10-05 14:44:11 UTC 
Problem reported at #mediawiki

User updates 1.12 to 1.13 rerunning the install with the existing db config.
The latin1 install gets $wgDBmysql5 = true;
Collation errors when TeX is active.

It's a user error for accepting the default, but the installer should be smart enough to detect it and skip the given option or throw an error. Otherwise, the errors appear in the form of unexpected db errors on a wiki which seemed to have correctly upgraded.

Still an issue?
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2012-10-24 04:13:38 UTC 
Platonides: Is this still valid, or can this be closed as obsolete?

Comment 4 Platonides 2013-01-14 21:21:24 UTC 
We rewrote the installer in the meantime, so it's _probably_ fixed.
Comment 5 Andre Klapper 2013-02-25 17:10:50 UTC 
Okay, if there is no clear indication that this 4 1/2 year old issue still exists and as the codebase has been rewritten in the meantime, I'm going to close this as WORKSFORME for the time being. Thanks for the response!
