Thread:Project:Support desk/upgrading from 1.19.2 to 1.20.x Error: invalid magic word 'speciale'/reply (4)

I finally figured out the solution. Since the files in the /languages/messages folder are cached, I tried running /maintenance/rebuildLocalisationCache.php. Upon running this, I noticed that it rebuilt all the languages except for 'en'!!!!??? (I guess maybe because that was my default language so it felt it didn't need to be rebuilt???) But in 1.20, I believe this line was added to MessagesEn.php: "'speciale' => array( 0, 'speciale' )," and since 'en' was not getting rebuilt, the wiki was never seeing the new value 'speciale'. So I ran rebuildLocalisationCache.php again but this time with the --force parameter to force a rebuild off all languages:

php rebuildLocalisationCache.php --force

The above command took a while to complete but...Now my website works after updating!!!!
