Package: dokuwiki
Version: 2026-07-14.a+dfsg-2
Severity: grave
Tags: newcomer
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Just accessing any web page results in this error:
...
TypeError: dokuwiki\Parsing\ModeRegistry::__construct(): Argument #1 ($syntax)
must be of type string, null given, called in
/usr/share/dokuwiki/inc/parserutils.php on line 239
----
The whole wiki is not accessible (I believe)
A quick google resulted in a suggestion :
"...This error happens because the $conf['syntax'] configuration parameter is
missing or empty in your DokuWiki setup. This frequently occurs after upgrading
to the "Mort" (Summer 2026) release, which introduces a new core configuration
setting for alternative markup engines. If the updater or container layout
fails to supply a default string value, the engine receives null and crashes.
..."
It suggested add missing config:
$conf['syntax'] = 'dw';
to local.php
which did fix it for me
It also referred me to a few pages such as :
https://forum.dokuwiki.org/d/26097-mort-docker-missing-confsyntax-parameter-
triggers-a-typeerror
Hope that helps.
Andrew
