Ended up being an IIS issue - its way too fiddly for it's own good!
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my implementation of mediawiki from 1.24.1, got as far as running the update from the browser.
When I navigated /mw-config/ I received a message telling me I did not have all dependencies installed.
Prior to the installation I updated my PHP to 7.31.1, which by my interpretation, was the only dependency I was missing.
Any help is appreciated! And I apologise if it's something glaringly obvious I've missed
I'm assuming you're running from a git checkout, right? If you update to the REL1_?? branch, the dependencies should be included. They are included in the tarball installation.
If all else fails and you have shell access, you can run composer install from the command line in your mediawiki directory.
I'm working with the handicap of not having an internet connection in the installation environment - so I was following the manual installation route listed here: Manual:Upgrading
I now see the sentence describing the need for external php libraries. How would I go about installing these manually? The composer and git routes require an internet connection to download them I'm assuming, but you mentioned their inclusion in the tarball?
Thanks for your patience.
