Hello,
However I try to start any file from the maintenance, say, refreshLinks or
rebuildSearchIndex, the result is invariably one and the same:
"Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the
database server."
Even the proposed workaround for rebuilding the links is not working.
First it returns
ERROR 2006: MySQL server has gone away
No connection. Trying to reconnect...
Connection id: xxxxxx
Current DB: XXXX_XX
After about two minutes we have
@foo:=COUNT(*)
397167
1 row in set (2 min 11.91 sec)
After issuing the second command, the server returns:
Query OK, 0 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0
Open any category page, say,
http://www.unipedia.info/Category:Computer_science.html
and see
"There are 0 articles in this category."
What am I doing wrong, and why none of the maintenance files is working?
I am using mediawiki 1.3.8
Thank you,
Plamen
