[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#386444: mediawiki1.7: additional update problems

[jschwaber]

Package: mediawiki1.7
Followup-For: Bug #386444

update.php really doesn't want to run in this environment.

web:/usr/share/mediawiki1.7# php5 maintenance/update.php 

Warning: require_once(Setup.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
directory in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line 
205

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'Setup.php' 
(include_path='.:/var/www/wiki:/var/www/wiki/includes:/var/www/wiki/languages:/var/www/wiki/maintenance') 
in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line 205

which I fixed by moving Setup.php to .

and

web:/usr/share/mediawiki1.7# php5 maintenance/update.php 

Warning: require_once(/var/www/wiki/includes/AutoLoader.php): failed to 
open stream: No such file or directory in 
/usr/share/mediawiki1.7/Setup.php on line 28

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 
'/var/www/wiki/includes/AutoLoader.php' 
(include_path='.:/var/www/wiki:/var/www/wiki/includes:/var/www/wiki/languages:/var/www/wiki/maintenance') 
in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/Setup.php on line

Note how it's attempting to load "/var/www/wiki/includes" which is a 
hardcoded path and is no longer where it is under debianization.

I just kept hardcoding paths, wondering whether this would ever work... 
here's another one:

web:/usr/share/mediawiki1.7# php5 maintenance/update.php 

Warning: require_once(DatabaseMysql.php): failed to open stream: No such 
file or directory in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/maintenance/update.php on 
line 18

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'DatabaseMysql.php' 
(include_path='.:/var/www/wiki:/var/www/wiki/includes:/var/www/wiki/languages:/var/www/wiki/maintenance') 
in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/maintenance/update.php on line 18


I finally got to here. Which I think is a bug, as I've got the files in 
the right place and the right permissions, but I'm done trying to figure 
out how...

MediaWiki 1.7.1 Updater

No superuser credentials could be found. Please provide the details
of a user with appropriate permissions to update the database. See
AdminSettings.sample for more details.


Thanks.
