System is AIX running php 4.x Install went ok, though had to use LocalSettings.php from olderinstall as the install script wouldn't create it's own LocalSettings.php file and the one it gave the "it would have created this content" did not work. When trying to log in: >>> Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class mediawiki_i18n in /machinepathtoaccountwithheld/public_html/wiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 43 >>> Wiki is set to allow open editing right now, so editing does work, but user wants "user" edit access only.
1) Provided URL does not work 2) Please include the exact error message with the failing LocalSettings.php 3) Please provide copies of the old and new LocalSettings.php 4) Please confirm that you have uploaded all the new files, complete and uncorrupted, and that paths in LocalSettings.php point to the correct files. 5) If a custom skin is in use, please check it for correctness and insure it is not including SkinTemplate.php extra times.
Created attachment 2070 [details] Copied older LocalSettings.php file Version that originally came from a 1.5.x install.
1) http://www.uvm.edu/~merhart/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Page 2)Exact error message (as already given) Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class mediawiki_i18n in /.../uvm.edu/fs/rack1b/u/ugrads/merhart/public_html/wiki/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 43 3)version attached that was what was copied over. I'm not sure I have access to te content of what was attempted to be created (the one that did not work) 4) Package was untarred in public_html directory and renamed to "wiki". Nothing else was moved or changed. Except for the specific user information, LocalSettings.php is set up eactly the same was as on a 1.6.7 version currently running. 5) no custom skin is being used at this time. The install itself is fresh. There is a reference in the LocalSettings.php file that referes to a different image that was used, but it has only the effect of not showing the image (logo image).
Problem solved. mediawiki installer gave proper text to put in LocalSettings.php but when it was copied using pico, the w switch wasn't used to it cause a couple lines to wrap. pico -w LocalSettings.php and pasting would have worked fine. I just edited the file. Still don't know why it was't able to create the file on it's own originally, but I'm guessing it was a perms issue in the folder.
