Looking at the code, in 1.15 a setting of CACHE_ACCEL was silently ignored if there was no accelerator cache available. Since the r83140 rewrite (available on mediawiki 1.18), it throws an exception on such case (it is, after all, a conflictive configuration). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The question remains if the previous version 1.15 in Debian did have $wgMainCacheType set by default. If not, I must have set that some time, though I'm not aware of it. If it was set in 1.15 already, it should be handled by the update to 1.19.

After that you may have uninstalled APC and merrily continued without noticing. I don't think update.php should ignore that setting (and the wiki would also die anyway). It would be preferable to have a nicer failure message, though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
