Thread:Project:Support desk/Message: MediaWiki 1.25 requires at least PHP version 5.3.3, you are using PHP 5.4.24/reply (7)

I'm also affected:

MediaWiki 1.25 requires at least PHP version 5.3.3, you are using PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.9. Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is also required.

I've downloaded this snapshot: mediawiki-snapshot-REL1_25-76e04b0.tar.gz

I've now used the non-snapshot-version and it worked: http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.1.tar.gz
