Error while moving mediawiki install to a new URL.

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to move a 1.17.0 mediawiki installation to a different subdomain, due to requests from my web host.

The site was located at site.projetopescar.org.br/tsp/ , and now it has moved to tsp.projetopescar.org.br/tsp/ .

I have backed up the database, downloaded all the files, imported the DB to the new server and uploaded the files to the new location.

What I get now is the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/tsp.projetopescar.org.br/httpdocs/tsp/includes/Skin.php on line 56

I have tried changing permissions to every file and folder to 777, just to make sure it wasn't a permission issue, but the error persists. I have also tried changing the $wgScriptPath on LocalSettings.php, but I can put anything there and the error won't change (I figured it might show a wrong path in the error description).

So, I'm at a loss. Please help!

Felipe

Upgrade to at least MW 1.19 -- though that has less than a year of support left.

You'll probably do better by upgrading to 1.23.
