When upgrading from MW 1.24 to 1.26.2, I'm running into this error:

MediaWiki 1.26 internal error

Installing some external dependencies (e.g. via composer) is required.

External dependencies

MediaWiki now also has some external dependencies that need to be installed via composer or from a separate git repo. Please see mediawiki.org for help on installing the required components.

I've installed Composer and run the installation and upgrade commands, but nothing seems to fix this. How do I install these external dependencies? The documentation on this is difficult to understand.

How are you installing MediaWiki?

The recommended way is to download the tarball and to extract it to a new folder. Then move your installation specific files in there and run update.php. These steps do not need composer to be run.

Good evening. It seems I have also this problem.

When updating from MediaWiki 1.19 to 1.28, I well extracted new files in another folder, but I get the same problem. You can check here: http://www.quantumlap.eu/wikiflaps1.28/

All the best,

This may have to do with an extension. I've downloaded 1.28 tarball and enabled a bunch of the bundled extensions without problems. Try disabling all of them to find the culprit

Good evening.

I simply forgot to upload the vendor/ folder, which is not included in the "core" version of mediawiki.

Finger crossed.
