Thread:Project:Support desk/provider migrated to php 5.5, wiki doesn't load/reply (2)

Thanks a LOT for the answer, but I guess I don't understand

the index.php5 and index.php files are exactly those shipped with mediawiki, so, it's not like that I have done anything here

the server used to use the .php5, when I enter the url with .php it also uses the .php5, but this had been like that also before

the redirect doesn't seem to be the issue, at least then I remove that part from the .htaccess or delete the .htaccess completley, then the .php would yield a page not found error while the .php5 results in the same behavior, so it seems the server still goes for the .php5. I checked what you suggested and changed .php5 to .php in the redirect: one then gets some wiki info when entering the correct url, but it looks as if the layout is missing, and the home url doesn't work at all.

what I don't quite understand is why the behavior should have changed, I mean, the wiki is up and runing for 8 month now. As regards the .php5 vs .php thing my understanding was that MediaWiki would handle things correctly, irrespective of the providers preference.

My thoughts/conclusions might be totally nonsense, I'm just totally confused by what I see, it doesn't make sense to me.

I need to research what AddHandler does, can't comment hence, but many thanks for the hint.

THX

(BTW: I've contacted before the provider, but they refused to help)
