Does the command line installer work at all in MW 1.19.x?
Fragment of a discussion from Project:Support desk
I figured out exactly where it breaks, but my OO PHP skills are not strong enough to puzzle out exactly why.
In includes/installer/Installer.php (lines 649-561), disabling showStatusMessage as follows allows the installer to run successfully. Hopefully someone who knows the code better can figure out why.
foreach ( array_keys( $databases ) as $db ) {
$installer = $this->getDBInstaller( $db );
$status = $installer->checkPrerequisites();
var_dump($status);
# if ( !$status->isGood() ) {
# $this->showStatusMessage( $status );
# }
if ( !$status->isOK() ) {
unset( $databases[$db] );
}
}
