[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#396405: mediawiki1.7: php maintenance/update.php fails to find Setup.php.

[Bastiaan Veelo]

Package: mediawiki1.7
Version: 1.7.1-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am upgrading from version 1.4, and since there is no documentation on what I should do to 
upgrade from 1.4 to 1.7 directly, I am following the directions for upgrading to 1.5 first. 

In README.Debian.gz, step 5 in upgrading to 1.5: I changed working directory to 
/var/lib/mediawiki1.7 instead of mediawiki1.5, since obviously there is none.

Step 6: execute the update script fails like this:

debian:/var/lib/mediawiki1.7# php maintenance/update.php
include('extensions/skype.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/lib/mediawiki:/var/lib/mediawiki/includes:/var/lib/mediawiki/languages:/var/lib/mediawiki/maintenance') 
in /usr/share/mediawiki1.7/maintenance/commandLine.inc on line 205
debian:/var/lib/mediawiki1.7# updatedb
debian:/var/lib/mediawiki1.7# locate Setup.php
/usr/share/mediawiki1.7/includes/Setup.php

Which shows that the include_path is incorrect.


Best regards,
Bastiaan.
