Thread:Project:Support desk/MediaWiki 1.20 internal error


 * MediaWiki 1.20.2
 * PHP 5.3

Good afternoon.

Following the update of MediaWiki 1.19 to 1.20.2. I meet minor discomfort. During the installation, MediaWiki informed me that the version of PHP that I did use was obsolete. I use the OVH hosting services, so I added (as described in one of their guides) the following line in the file .htacess: "SetEnv PHP_VER 5_3" which replaces the previous "SetEnv PHP_VER 5".

I also replaced in the LocalSettings.php file, the value "$ wgScriptExtension" that was ".php5" by ".php".

After that, I continued the process of updating which is normally held, then everything worked.

However, following the extension change, access to the site from the search engines or visitors bookmarks no longer work.

So I guess the cause of this problem is the change of extension, I also presented a time, the value of the extension ".php5" the consequences being a call to order on MediaWiki using an outdated version of PHP (because then I would use version 5.2.17. less than recommended by MediaWiki 5.3.2.)

I do not know therefore how to ensure that visitors have access to my site while providing a functional site.

Thank you in advance for your help, Best.
