I'm running MW 1.26.3 and PHP 7.0.32 and am trying to follow the instructions here. I have shell access and did the git clone command. After adding in the LocalSetting stuff I get error code 500. Doing php maintenance before was fine, but after adding it in I get this error:
- PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '/SNIP/extensions/CheckUser/extension.json: unsupported manifest_version: 2' in /SNIP/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:184
Asked in the IRC channel and they were saying the instructions are not correct and that install.php should not be used here for any version, then said it should be but that an older version of CheckUser needs to be obtained. They told me to run git checkout origin/REL1_26 but that did nothing.
Please fix the instructions for MW 1.26
