Updated the Wiki version, now everything is fine, thanks!

All articles are no longer displayed, but the code is in each. Link to the wikiː http://wiki.league17.ru

Articles are not visible to authorized participants. If a guest comes in, only a few are not visible to him.

I don’t see any issue as a guest, all articles are viewable. Anyway the first thing to do is to check in the logs, either in the error log of nginx (/var/log/nginx/error.log on Linux), either set the configuration parameter $wgDebugLogFile to some file and read it (see Manual:How_to debug#Logging).

Indeed, and do you have something in the log files?

Seb35 (talkcontribs)

I occasionally saw this with old MediaWiki versions and recent PHP versions, but didn’t investigate more these cases. In my memory it was something like MediaWiki 1.13-1.15 + PHP 5.6 or 7.0, but I’m not sure, and it was possibly linked to the cache method. I see you have MediaWiki 1.20. Do you have some cache configured? (parameter $wgMainCacheType)

EvangelionI (talkcontribs)

I do not have the opportunity to see this, I do not have access to data ː(

I'll wait until the main administrator answers about the cache configuration.

Seb35 (talkcontribs)

Ok, better is to wait some answers from the administrator then.

Things to check:

  1. Is there a cache configured? If so, try to deactivate and check if it works better (but it is not a long-term solution).
  2. Does the PHP version changed recently? PHP 5.5 or possibly 5.6 should be fine (IIRC PHP 7.0 does not work with MediaWiki 1.20)
  3. If possible MediaWiki should be upgraded, although there is some work (count some hours of work)
