Hey there, I am using MediaWiki on a Synology DiskStation for home usage. I updated my MediWiki two weeks ago and since then, the Category Link is not working anymore. If I specify a category on my page with the link to the page example works fine, but there is no reference back to my page, where I set this category. Any idea what is wrong?

I am using MediaWiki 1.27.1, PHP 5.6.28, Maria-DB 5.5.53 and ICU 56.1 Synology is not offering a newer version and myself do not know, how I can upgrade manually.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks Ahmad, I tried a lot now but did not succeed. Whenever I want to run the command runJobs.php I get an error. Looks like there is a problem with the database. I need to mention, I used MySQL at the beginning and due to the update changed to MariaDB. All other things working fine. The error says:

MWException from line 612 of ...Database.php: Database::factory no viable database extension found for 'mysql'

This does not say a lot to me (really beginner ...)

Any idea? THANKS!

Ralf

Apparently, MediaWiki is trying (and failing) to find MySQL which is resulting in this error. See this. You can try Manual:How to debug, but someone more experienced will have to answer your query.

Thanks so much, Ahmad. Job for the next week :)

If your MediaWiki is working fine from the browser, it may be that PHP has 2 different php.ini configuration files, one for the web server, and another for the command line, and the one for the command line doesn't have the mysql driver enabled.
