Hi its me again,


My mediawiki is having blank pages but when I edit the page I see my text again. I heard that the only way of fixxing this is updating my mediawiki.

I saw the : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#All_pages_have_no_content.2C_but_when_editing_a_page_the_wiki_text_is_there

But I dont understand it / I find it unclear.

I'm running my 1.27.1 mediawiki with xampp on a Windows 10 pc. Do I have to replace all files or do I need to do someting with .tar Every help will be appreciated

I have no direct solution, but try these things:

  • Generally, the more error messages you can obtain the easier it is to solve, so try to activate more error log in your php.ini configuration file, or add ini_set( 'error_reporting', E_ALL ); ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); in your LocalSettings.php.
  • Be sure you made a clean upgrade: uncompress the .tar.gz from Download in a directory and uncompress the extensions in the 'extensions' subdirectory (and skins in the 'skins' subdirectory); you should not overwrite the previous MediaWiki installation with the new one, better is to create another directory and copy the few data directories and files (LocalSettings.php, 'images' subdirectory).
  • Check your XAMPP version and compare with the requirements written in the file RELEASE-NOTES-1.27. If XAMPP is too old, upgrade it.
