Hi. I want to update MediaWiki from version 1.40 to 1.42.1 and during the update I get this error:

Please help.

Do you run a separate wgOATHAuthDatabase (and/or what is the current setting) or do you use wgSharedTables ?

I downloaded the 1.42.1 package from the MediaWiki website, sent the contents of the files from this package to the FTP server, overwriting the current ones. I started the update process.

Example:

mysite.pl/wiki/mw-config

I entered the $wgUpgradeKey from LocalSettings.php on the update page and then I get these errors.

And I don't understand why I have a connection error:

An error occurred: Error 1044: Access denied for user '12345_wiki'@'%' to database 'virtual' Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL::doSelectDomain Query: USE `virtual`

And I don't understand why I have this error:

/home/xx/xx/x/wiki/extensions/OATHAuth/maintenance/updateTOTPScratchTokensToArray.php...

I don't have anything like $wgOATHAuthDatabase or wgSharedTables in the LocalSettings.php file

Ah.

> overwriting the current ones

But that doesn't delete the files that have been removed, which can cause issues when loading the site. Please read again Manual:Upgrading.

Additionally, you didn't update your extensions yet and therefor your OathAuth extension is not compatible with this newer MediaWiki version. You can either choose to update all your extensions, or a bit easier / less confusing, can be to

1. first disable all your extension in LocalSettings.php
2. upgrade the core with the updater
3. install the newer versions of extensions
4. re-enable the extensions in your LocalSettings.php
5. run the updater again to ensure the extensions can run all their updates

Hi. I left only the images directory and the LocalSettings.php file on the server, then I uploaded new content from the mediawiki-1.42.1 package and the latest versions of the extensions I use. I started the MediaWiki update process and I get the same error:

...site_type key doesn't exist. ...iwl_prefix_from_title key doesn't exist. Running /home/xx/xx/mysite.pl/wiki/extensions/OATHAuth/maintenance/updateTOTPScratchTokensToArray.php...

An error occurred: Error 1044: Access denied for user '12345_wiki'@'%' to database 'virtual' Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL::doSelectDomain Query: USE `virtual`

You are like the fourth person to report this. Would you be able to post your LocalSettings.php (redacting passwords)

Can u provide working OATHAuth config please

wfLoadExtension( 'OATHAuth' );

but using according to Extension:OATHAuth#Configuration

$wgVirtualDomainsMapping['virtual-oathauth'] = [ 'db' => 'centraloath' ];

throws

An error occurred:

Error 1044: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' to database 'virtual'

Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL::doSelectDomain

Query: USE `virtual`

Which data do you want to see? Do you mean the entire contents of this file? How did those people solve this problem? These are the extensions I have installed:

CreatePageUw DarkMode PageForms TinyMCE

This is the skin I have installed:

Citizen

None of them did (afaik). I was just hoping that the LocalSettings.php file would reveal some difference in configuration that might hint at what the issue is.

I uploaded MediaWiki 1.41.0 files and when updating I have the following error:

...oathauth_types table already exists. ...have module field in oathauth_users table. ...oathauth_users table does not contain secret field. Running /home/xx/xx/mysite.pl/wiki/extensions/OATHAuth/maintenance/UpdateForMultipleDevicesSupport.php...

An error occurred: No such service: OATHAuthDatabase

I had the same problem. The problem lies solely in the extension OATHAuth and it was solved after removing it from the extensions folder and copying it back from a backup.

In short, having the newest mediawiki with an old version of the extension.

@Bawolff

This bug with the 1.42.1 update comes from MediaWiki, probably from the OATHAuth extension. I did as @Buran Biggest Fan mentioned, I removed the OATHAuth extension from the 'extensions' directory on the server, in the LocalSettings.php file I removed the code wfLoadExtension( 'OATHAuth' ); that loads this extension and I was able to successfully update MediaWiki from 1.40 to 1.41.0. Then I uploaded this extension from the 1.41 package. I am not going to upgrade to 1.42.1 because there is bug:

/home/xx/xx/x/wiki/extensions/OATHAuth/maintenance/updateTOTPScratchTokensToArray.php... An error occurred: Error 1044: Access denied for user '12345_wiki'@'%' to database 'virtual' Function: Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMySQL::doSelectDomain Query: USE `virtual`

When version 1.43 comes out, I will update MediaWiki.

@Buran Biggest Fan

Thank you for your post. You helped me.

Yes, but we still have no idea why, as most people do not seem to experience this bug, so devs haven't been able to figure out what is going on. If there is anything different about your setup compared to the average mediawiki setup, please let us know.

I understand, I will paste you the content I added in LocalSettings.php, but I did a test before updating, I removed this content from LocalSettings.php and during the update I also got this error.

We believe this is a problem with the web upgrader that can be worked around by using the command line update.php script
