Thread:Project:Support desk/text symbols instead of texts and malfunctioning refreshlinks.php script

Hi all,

i upgraded my wiki from 1.16.5 to the current version 1.17. It all went fine and the wiki is up and running, but i noticed some minor errors: text-symbols aren't converted into text and i get errors when executing maintenance scripts.

When i open the special page version, it places text-symbols like  instead of the license information. It's the same for the compare pages link on the special pages overview. Instead of "compare pages" the link is named "&lt;comparepages&gt;". I recognized about a dozen of these errors.

So i went for the maintenance scripts and ran "refreshlinks.php". First, it all went fine, but then some errors showed up like: '"" is not a valid magic thingie for "articlepath"' or 'Retrieving illegal entries from pagelinks... 0..0'.

Wiki is running on OpenSuse 11.4, PHP 5.3.5 (apache2handler) and mysql 5.1.53-log. Language is german (de). As i got APC enabled, i purged cache several times, but it didn't help. Unfortunately i can't provide any link, as it's an internal website.

Thanks in advance for your help.
