Topic on Talk:Release notes/1.23

If I install the patch, everything seems to work fine but afterwards mediawiki does not work any more and reports:

wfShorthandToIntegerFatal error: Call to undefined function wfShorthandToInteger() in /home/users/xyz/doms/xyz/subs/www/mediawiki-1.23/includes/Setup.php on line 303

That's a known issue. Will be fixed asap according to the mailing list. 1.24 is affected too. 1.25 should be cool

Ok thanks, great!

Everything is fluffy again.

Unfortunately not. I fetched and installed this patch again:

http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.11.patch.gz

And there is the same error. Hmm.

Strange. I deployed this version to heaps of wikis without an issue. Did not use the patch file though.

This is starting to be funny. :(

Ups. Sorry, I made a mistake and reinstalled the same broken patch ..., so, http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.23/mediawiki-1.23.11.patch.gz

is ok, now!

Great to hear. Sometimes issues just pile up. Happy editing!
