Hi,

My Old mediawiki was on 1.15.1 php 5.3.10 mysql 5.5

The upgrade went fine and php update.php ran successfully to 1.22.6 php 5.3.10 mysql 5.5

However the skin seems to be a problem. No skin absolutely. The pages look bare like simple html pages. Now most pages dont have skin showing up. But when i try to login, only the login page has proper skin with proper sidebar and navigation bars and everything as it should be, but all other pages are without any skin. I have tried setting error_reporting( -1 ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

But it hasn't given me any clue of where there is a problem

Hi update.php is not responsible for skin it is only made for database where as the skin in the software and if you upload the skins to the folder skins it should work.

Hi, I do not use any custom themes. Even the monobook theme shipped with mw 1.22.6 is not loading

Hi!

I am pretty sure that this problem is explained on Manual:Load.php.

Hi if you doint have custom theme then there's the problem or do you mean you downloaded a theme that someone else created or your self. Please download the skins folder that includes vector and vector is the fault skin for Mediawiki.

I do not think a missing skins/ folder is the thread-starter's problem. In case of missing files you would expect PHP error messages, which he does not speak about getting. Also would MediaWiki then be unable to display pages at all as the page structure comes from the skin.

Hi,

 It was a problem with load.php only. But in this way

I saw this in the apache error logs --> /w/load.php' not found or unable to stat

While upgrading i was using an alternate directory /w.1.22 instead of /w

So i changed the $wgScriptPath = "/w.1.22" in Localsettings.php file

and then the problem was resolved.
