Topic on Project:Support desk

Hi,

This morning when I went to view my wiki I noticed that none of my pages had content. The title and everything else was there, but the articles themselves were gone. Upon further inspection, I can still view the content if I hit the "Edit" tab, or "View Source".

I attempted to follow the instructions in your help section, to no avail. I have absolutely zero idea on how to even begin going about downgrading the PCRE version (something which I didn't even know was a thing until today), and my attempts to update to the latest version of MediaWiki hit a brick wall because the problem I'm having is causing installation instructions to not display.

How do I fix this problem?

I'm running on 1.21, and my PHP version is 5.4. Any other info I may have forgotten, let me know.

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, current versions of MediaWiki have the PCRE problem fixed. The update instructions are available here in this wiki at Upgrade! Does that help?

As it turns out, I didn't follow the upgrade directions properly. Once I reread them with fresh eyes, everything worked flawlessly, and the problem I mentioned is resolved. I feel like a bit of a nonce now.

Thanks for your help though.
