mediawiki-1.22.0-1 lost page contents - downgrade php

[musv]

Hi there,

I guess, it's more an Arch problem than an ARM specific one, but I'm not registered in the main Arch forum.

Today I did a system update, which included also the mediawiki package. After the upgrade I don't get the contents shown anymore. Or more specific:

• - I call the start page. Normally there are 2 fields, where I have to login (user + pass). These two fields don't appear since the upgrade. The title "Anmeldung" (Login in German) is still shown. I still can login, if I use the login link on the upper right.
• - After the login I can call any page by the link on the left menu. Also I can choose a random page. But of all selected pages I get only the title shown - no content.

After the package upgrade I ran the update script mediawiki/maintenance/update.php successfully. I enabled the debug information (SQL errors, logfile). I can't find any errors.

Unfortunately I deleted the package cache of pacman. So I don't have the previous package of mediawiki any more.

Platform (should be irrelevant): ARMv5.
Device: NSA325
Current installed package: mediawiki-1.22.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

• - How do I get my content back?
• - If there's a chance to fix that by downgrading. Where do I get the previous version package of mediawiki?

Thanks so far.

Ok, downgraded with help of "downgrade" package the mediawiki to 1.20.

The problem still exists.

Other packages upgraded and possible error source:

- php
- mariadb

I got the hint to create a new wiki to ensure the error isn't in my database. So I dropped the wikidb and started the script to install a new wiki. That's what I get:



Means: The error occurs already in the install process before any database access. Anyone any idea?

Update: changed the install language from German to English. Didn't help. The textbox remained empty.

Next step. Found the apache error log:

Means, the problematic package must be php.

Where do I get the older package of php-arm from? Unfortunately I deleted the pacman package cache. And the downgrade script offers me only x86/arm64 packages.

php-5.5.6-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz does not seem available anymore.

Then you need to look at the ALARM rollback machine: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6544

[musv]

After 2 weeks searching and debugging, there came a mediawiki update today: 1.22.0-2

It's working again. Thx so far.

PS: Have noticed the instructions of the rollback machine. It's good to know it. Thanks a lot.
