Thread:Project:Support desk/Localized namespaces not working/reply (5)

I got a fresh wiki installation on another host to work correctly with a copy of the original wiki's database and a fresh version of LocalSettings.php created by the maintenance/install.php script (called from a Puppet module). The corresponding software versions are as follows: MediaWiki 	1.24.0, PHP 	5.4.35-0+deb7u2 (apache2handler), MySQL 	5.5.40-0+wheezy1.

Note that the settings created had $wgDBmysql5 = true; (although the documentation claims it is false by default), which caused an "Illegal mix of collations" database error. The error was rectified by setting $wgDBmysql5 = false in LocalSettings.php to mirror the setting in the original wiki.
