Thread:Project:Support desk/DB connection error when running deleteArchivedRevisions.php/reply (2)

Thanks for your suggestion. It put me on the right track. From the command line, the php that was called was not the one that was running my mediawiki. By putting the full path to the proper php on the command line, it all worked:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php deleteArchivedRevisions.php

As you can tell, I'm a newbie.
