Just installed 1.20.2. Pulled database from 1.19.3. Let Mediawiki installer upgrade the database. Then uploaded LocalSettings.php. Got a MWException error when I went to the home page. Turned on $wgShowExceptionDetails. Got this: Error: invalid magic word 'speciale' Backtrace: #0 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/MagicWord.php(236): MagicWord->load('speciale') #1 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/parser/Parser.php(4765): MagicWord::get('speciale') #2 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/parser/CoreParserFunctions.php(74): Parser->setFunctionHook('speciale', Array) #3 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/parser/Parser.php(253): CoreParserFunctions::register(Object(Parser)) #4 [internal function]: Parser->firstCallInit() #5 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/StubObject.php(79): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #6 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/StubObject.php(99): StubObject->_call('firstCallInit', Array) #7 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/cache/MessageCache.php(829): StubObject->__call('firstCallInit', Array) #8 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/cache/MessageCache.php(829): StubObject->firstCallInit() #9 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/cache/MessageCache.php(807): MessageCache->getParser() #10 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Message.php(618): MessageCache->transform('$1 - {{SITENAME...', true, Object(Language), Object(Title)) #11 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Message.php(436): Message->transformText('$1 - {{SITENAME...') #12 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Message.php(476): Message->toString() #13 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/OutputPage.php(790): Message->text() #14 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/OutputPage.php(833): OutputPage->setHTMLTitle(Object(Message)) #15 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Article.php(485): OutputPage->setPageTitle('Main Page') #16 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/actions/ViewAction.php(37): Article->view() #17 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Wiki.php(427): ViewAction->show() #18 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Wiki.php(304): MediaWiki->performAction(Object(Article)) #19 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Wiki.php(536): MediaWiki->performRequest() #20 /var/www/html/wiki/includes/Wiki.php(446): MediaWiki->main() #21 /var/www/html/wiki/index.php(59): MediaWiki->run() #22 {main}
Just tried running 1.20.1. Same problem.
Hi David, did you also update the translations / i18n? Same problem was mentioned on the mailing list in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2012-November/040101.html and in the support desk: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/%22%22_is_not_a_valid_magic_word_for_%22speciale%22 The last commenter in the mailing list threaded recommended to install http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.20/mediawiki-i18n-1.20.0.patch.gz If that does not help: Do you have any custom extensions?
This usually goes away if you rebuild l10n cache manually: php maintenance/rebuildLocalisationCache.php --force
No custom extensions. I rebuilt the cache manually. It now shows text! But not styled: http://training.thinknear.com/wiki202/index.php/Main_Page Any suggestions?
(In reply to comment #4) > No custom extensions. > I rebuilt the cache manually. > It now shows text! Great! Problem described in this bug report solved: Partial upgrade only. => Closing as INVALID as no piece of code needed a fix. > But not styled: > http://training.thinknear.com/wiki202/index.php/Main_Page > > Any suggestions? When I tried to access your CSS styles, I got "The requested URL /wiki/load.php was not found on this server." But this looks like a support question (check file permissions?) which should better end up in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk
Hmm, is there someplace public we can post the fix, to help others who run into the problem?
This place is public, and all places listed in comment 2 are also public.
Re-opening. Shell access is not available to some: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/41434 From Bug 32762 comment 16 comes a possible solution: > After spending maybe an hour tracing the problem, I determined that for some > reason this line in MessagesEn.php -- > > 'speciale' => array( 0, 'speciale' ), > > -- was somehow not being loaded into the array, although the lines before it > and after it were. If I commented out the line before it ('special' without > an e), 'speciale' showed up in the list. > > I next tried reversing the two lines, since it seemed like there was a > problem with the 'special' line -- and at that point, the wiki loaded > successfully. > > Then I put the lines back in order, and the wiki loaded again.
(In reply to comment #8) > Re-opening. Shell access is not available to some: > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/41434 It is an requirement, however. The issue clearly is that the cache is not updating. Could it be that the extracted files in the tarball contain timestamps older than the latest change timestamp.

(In reply to comment #9) > The issue clearly is that the cache is not updating. Could it be that the > extracted files in the tarball contain timestamps older than the latest > change timestamp. Is there some flag that the installer/updater could set so that the current cache would be ignored?
(In reply to comment #10) > (In reply to comment #9) > > It is an requirement, however. > > See bug 26992 aka 'Remove the "shell" excuse' It's unrelated. This is about maintenance scripts and updating the wiki, not configuration changes.

rebuild of localisation cache exists inside the update since r101449, so this bug is fixed.
