Confirmed for a second wiki on the same machine with the
same upgrade type (1.2.4 to 1.3.0 beta6)

Cannot reproduce with upgrade of freshly installed 1.2.4 to
1.3.0beta6. PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 4.0.17, set for English/UTF-8.

The error is related to a badly specified title, so it would help to know
more about your configuration (language settings, if you've
customized messages such as the main page setting) and also if you
could check whether other pages on the wiki work than the main page.
Other wiki pages? Special pages?

From LocalSettings.php:
$wgLanguageCode = "de";
$wgUseLatin1 = true;

If I enter a page URL from the old 1.2.4 wiki into the new
one, I get a valid page, but it is the startpage, not the
sub-page:

old URL
https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki/index.php/Hauptseite

new URL
https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki2/index.php/Hauptseite#Sysop-Grundlagen

The "new URL" page shows a lot of "#redirect
[[Vorlage:Mainpage]] # Wikipedia-Portal"" links.

("Vorlage" means "Template").

"Recentchanges" ist also present, but with a lot of "
(#redirect [[Vorlage:Diff]] ) (#redirect [[Vorlage:Hist]] )
. . #redirect [[Vorlage:Minoreditletter]] GP-Portalprojekt;
)" entries.

Unfortunately, the wikis are internal, just let me know what
info you need, I will check it.

Addendum:

https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki2/index.php

results in a blank page, but

https://intraweb.gaia.de/gaiaev/mediawiki2/index.php/Hauptseite

shows the start page, but with the strange Redirect links.

Here is the output page for "Hauptseite" (main page) as
described above

Ok, I haven't been able to reproduce the source of the problem on my
test system yet, but the problem itself is that most of the MediaWiki:
message pages were moved to the template namespace which were not
supposed to.

It's only supposed to move the ones that are _not_ part of MediaWiki's
own localization system; when it moves its own messages it ends up
screwing the whole thing up.

You should be able to do a batch regeneration of the MediaWiki:
namespace with the 'rebuildMessages.php' script in the maintenance
directory; it has to be run from the command line and may be a bit
tempermental.

Hi,
I started

intraweb:/usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/maintenance # php
rebuildMessages.php rebuild
Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace...
intraweb:/usr/local/ftp/gaiaev/mediawiki2/maintenance #

But nothing much happens here ... I see no activities in the
db, no script replieson the shell...

How can I conrol if it has finished its job correctly?

Brion, I can't see any changes in the database after "php
rebuildMessages.php". I could also find no documentation on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/....

To get rebuildMessages working again:
* Add this line near the top of includes/LoadBalancer.php:
require_once( "Database.php" );
* Move this line in includes/commandLine.inc from near the bottom to
near the top:
define( "MEDIAWIKI", true );

(This is included in latest CVS, but anon CVS is behind.)
