Blanc Page after MediaWiki Update 1.23.5 to 1.24

I have an Ubuntu Server with MySQL and Apache.

I've first updated my wiki from 1.23alpha to 1.23.5. Everything was fine.

Then I've updated from 1.23.5 to 1.24 and I get blanc pages. Everything is blanc. Source code of the Website is also empty.

My error log shows:

PHP Warning:  require(/var/www/includes/WebStart.php): failed to open stream: 
No such file or directory in /var/www/mywikifolder/index.php on line 36

and

PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/includes/WebStart.php' 
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/mywikifolder/index.php on line 36

I've applied chmod 755 to WebStart.php with no change

After that also chmod 755 -R to includes folder with no change

What do I have to do?

What does this mean:

(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')

It's looking for the files in the wrong place. Do you have some kind of weird symlinks or aliases set up?

I did nothing special. Just a standard installation.

What I do not understand is how you have set up your wiki:

The central index.php file is located at /var/www/mywikifolder/index.php. Then WebStart.php must be available at /var/www/mywikifolder/includes/WebStart.php and this is the location, which MediaWiki should look for this file. However, in your case, this is not where MediaWiki tries to find the file. Instead, it looks at /var/www/includes/WebStart.php. And that is wrong.

Ok, I didn't see that it looks in the wrong folder. Thank you for that.

But it worked for 1.23.5 somehow. Where do I have to set which variable, so it looks in the correct location for the WebStart.php?
