Cannot get the top/lef logo replaced

I take over the admin task for one of our internal site from previous admin, and wanted to replace the current logo (top/lef) which link to the mainpage, but I have no luck of completing it.

My current version are: MediaWiki 1.12.0 PHP 5.1.4 (apache2handler) MySQL 4.1.20

I follow the instruction by editing the LocalSettings.php, replace: $wgSitename = "SysAdminWiki"; $wgLogo = "/mediawiki/common/images/new_logo.jpg"; After replacement, I still don't see any changes (clear catch, new brower, etc...are done)

Is there other 'restart' instruction that I can do? Thanks in advance.

Are you using 1.12 because it's from a package? That version is old and out of support (including security fixes). Packages can be insane enough to have several copies of LocalSettings (including symlinks), you might have edited the wrong one. Our overall recommendation is never to use packaged MediaWiki because we MediaWiki developers are yet to see a single package that is not broken.

Thanks you for the advise Max. I am not sure how it was built in the beginning. Are you suggesting to download the source and complile it locally? instead of downloading a package from source like Redhat, etc?
