I upgraded a Debian 9 "Stretch" server to Debian 10 "Buster", which also upgrades Mediawiki to version 1.31. Trying to run update.php, it fails with "Cannot access the database: No database connection": /var/lib/mediawiki/maintenance# php update.php MediaWiki 1.31.10 Updater Your composer.lock file is up to date with current dependencies! [6b70dd5bdc9deadcca99506a] [no req] Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnectionError from line 1004 of /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/libs/rdbms/database/Database.php: Cannot access the database: No database connection Backtrace: #0 /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/libs/rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php(1140): Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database->reportConnectionError(string) #1 /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/libs/rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php(750): Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer->reportConnectionError() #2 /usr/share/mediawiki/includes/GlobalFunctions.php(2813): Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer->getConnection(integer, array, boolean) #3 /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/Maintenance.php(1311): wfGetDB(integer, array, boolean) #4 /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/update.php(147): Maintenance->getDB(integer) #5 /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/doMaintenance.php(94): UpdateMediaWiki->execute() #6 /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/update.php(248): require_once(string) #7 {main} The database is Postgresql, and I can access it fine with psql etc. In LocalSettings.php I have ## Database settings $wgDBtype = "postgres"; $wgDBserver = "localhost"; $wgDBname = "wikidb"; $wgDBuser = "...hidden..."; $wgDBpassword = "...hidden..."; # Postgres specific settings $wgDBport = "5432"; $wgDBmwschema = "mediawiki"; $wgDBts2schema = "public"; Thanks for any help...
