Thread:Project:Support desk/No login page after 1.21.3 to 1.22 upgrade - Uncommitted DB writes?

This server (RHEL5) has mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.70 and PHP 5.4.22. After upgrading from mediawiki 1.21.3 to 1.22, the main wiki page displays, but the login page (after clicking on "login") does not. This wiki requires a login to view.

These are the only messages appearing in the error log:

[13-Dec-2013 10:57:29 America/Chicago] PHP Notice: Uncommitted DB writes (transaction from DatabaseBase::query (LCStore_DB::get)). in /home/.../wiki/includes/db/Database.php on line 3944

While searching for this error, we found a recent mention of setting $wgCommandLineMode = true to work around the problem, although we're not sure exactly where to do that, or if there is a pending fix for this in a future release.

This problem occurs for two completely separate wikis installed on two different servers (the other server is configured similarly but with RHEL6.)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Here is additional debugging info from when "login" is selected, with "testsite" replacing the actual url:
