Thread:Project:Support desk/User Preferences Update issues and File Permissions

MediaWiki	1.17wmf1 (r83520)

PHP	5.2.17 (cgi-fcgi)

MySQL	5.0.91-log

I am a complete beginner with wiki's but I seem to have a site up and running...sorta.

I started with 1.16.2 and then upgraded to 1.18alpha for the wikieditor extension, which is wonderful, then backtracked to 1.17wmf1 for fear of the term alpha in 1.18. I updated the database with php update.php after every update.

But I seem to have killed my ability to edit user preferences. Check box changes are not recorded after save is pressed. Other posts indicate some lag time but I waited and the changed did not populate.

Thanks for any assistance with this issue.
