Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] 16.5 to 19.1 install issue update.php adds only 1 
table

 

The updater isn't looking at the right database (or it's not looking at the 
right tables in it).
Check $wgDBname and $wgDBprefix,  Perhaps you have an AdminSettings.php file 
that's lying around
with old values?

Thanks, I got it. IMO, the update.php should be checking for the drop table and 
if it doesn't
exist, create it, which is what I thought it did. A MySQL export without the 
drop table, then an
import fails because it is looking for the drop table, which isn't there. Devs? 
Is this correct?
Once I exported with the drop table, imported, the update went off without a 
hitch. Almost.I
should say, because a stumbled right into a known bug in table align="right" 
without a
resolution yet in the sanitizer. Target fix is 1.20? 

 

I opted for wikipedia's solution, $wgHtml5 = false to change the output back to 
XHTML 1.0
Transitional which fixed the table alignments on page's with tables. Yes, HTML5 
is the newest
and next, but with Mediawiki Devs on a, "Red Bull" induced release schedule 
what are all the
wiki maintainers out there to do but cope as best we can. I certainly don't 
have the time to go
and edit a couple hundred pages with align="right" set for the table. 

 

Thanks

Tom
