Hello,

I'm migrating from a Windows box to an Linux box, but I'm encountering difficulty connecting the sqlite DB

I'm using MW 1.27.4 and have no issues doing a vanilla install on the Linux box, but when I replace

My steps:

• Install vanilla 1.27.4 on new linux box
• Add my extensions and images into the respective folders on new linux box
• Update LocalSettings.php file to include configuration for extensions
• Replace vanilla sqlite DB with my existing sqlite DB from old windows box
  • Issue: This breaks the wiki. I see a page saying:
  • Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Cannot access the database)

Settings on Windows mediawiki

Version: 1.27.4

PHP: 5.6.22 (cgi-fcgi)

SQLite: 3.8.10.2 with full-text search support

Lua: 5.1.4

Settings on vanilla Linux mediawiki:

Version: 1.27.4

PHP: 5.6.25 (apache2handler)

SQLite: 3.7.17 with full-text search support

Lua: 5.1.5

Thoughts?

Please set $wgShowExceptionDetails and $wgShowSQLErrors to true in LocalSettings.php and see if it gives at least a reason for the "Cannot access the database".
