[00:27:21] <anarchez>	 Hello! I am very new to mediawiki and I am currently trying to update an old Mediawiki 1.30. I have a local setup with PHP7.1 where I imported the database in hope I could upgrade it locally but I cannot make it run properly.
[00:27:44] <anarchez>	 I see a database error: Error: 1146 Table 'my_db.l10n_cache' doesn't exist (localhost)
[00:28:14] <anarchez>	 I am at loss about what's going on so any idea would be welcomed
[00:29:34] <anarchez>	 I also had to change the language to the default "en" instead of "fr" in the config as it gave me an error 500
[00:30:05] <TheFatherMind>	 php maintenance/update.php
[00:30:08] <TheFatherMind>	 Is this docker?
[00:31:05] <anarchez>	 It's not a docker, it's a WSL
[00:32:46] <TheFatherMind>	 Well hopefully that will resolve it.  I believe that table was added at or after version 1.16
[00:33:18] <TheFatherMind>	 Make sure your db user has access to create tables.
[00:33:41] <anarchez>	 php maintenance/update.php ran without any error but nothing changed
[00:33:46] <TheFatherMind>	 Perhaps also delete any old cache tables: /path/to/wiki/cache/l10n_cache-*.cdb
[00:34:34] <anarchez>	 I have all access to my user with: GRANT ALL ON mydb.* TO myuser@localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;
[00:34:44] <TheFatherMind>	 you can manually create the table using the schema from the MediaWiki manual but running the updater is the preferred and safest method.
[00:35:06] <TheFatherMind>	 what version were you upgrading from?
[00:35:13] <anarchez>	 the cache directory is empty
[00:35:37] <anarchez>	 I believe it's 1.30 as there is a RELEASE-NOTES-1.30 file in the root directory
[00:36:27] <anarchez>	 any idea what the schema would be missing after importing the database from a functioning instance?
[00:36:33] <anarchez>	 why*
[00:42:00] <TheFatherMind>	 Nope.  I am fairly new to this.  Hang out a while.  I am sure someone with more experience will have better advice.
[00:44:40] <anarchez>	 Alright, thank you
[01:21:26] <anarchez>	 Oh, I ran the update.php a second time and it restored things in the db. I can now access an empty wiki and without css.
[01:40:12] <anarchez>	 I managed to reimport the database properly!
[01:40:47] <anarchez>	 but all my links are pointing to http://index.php, I am guessing something is wrong in the conf file
[01:41:17] <anarchez>	 $wgServer = "http://localhost"; is wrong?
[02:06:31] <anarchez>	 I fixed it by making apache point to the parent directory and mediawiki to a /wiki directory
[03:22:39] <TheFatherMind>	 Glad to hear you got it working anarchez
[03:24:03] <anarchez>	 Thanks! It's a relief, I was just badly importing the database. I feel a bit silly but at least I can upgrade everything now. :D
