Need to run PHP scripts through a PHP executable. Shell users may be assigned a different PHP version than the one for the website.

mediawiki 1.3, php 7.1 fast cgi

Executing mediawiki rebuildall.php with winscp

returns errors:

Command '"./rebuildall.php"'

failed with return code 2 and error message

./rebuildall.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory

You need to make sure that you are executing he file with the PHP executable. The normal way of doing this is from the shell, e.g. php rebuildall.php.

Executing php rebuildall.php at terminal, i'm getting:

"Error: Missing one or more required components of PHP. You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki needs. Please install: * fileinfo <https://secure.php.net/fileinfo>"

However, my wiki root folder, https://www.MyWikiUrl/phpinfo.php returns:

[fileinfo]

fileinfo support	enabled
version	1.0.5
libmagic	522

(MyWikiUrl above linked to my actual wiki)

Is it possible fileinfo is enabled in the wiki root folder, but not the maintenance folder?

Resolved, by editing my host phprc file.

Issue was that, on my host, shell user may be assigned different php version than website. I had to enable fileinfo for the shell user. Shell user was assigned php 5.6, so i had to enable fileinfo on 5.6.
