I recently moved my MediaWiki 1.5.3 database from a MySQL 4.0 server to a MySQL
4.1 server. OLDPASSWORDS is enabled, and PHP 4.4.1 is using the newest MySQL
libraries. I am concurrently running a Simple Machines Forum (which works
flawlessly, showing that there is no problem with password hashing on MySQL 4.1)
After transfering to MySQL 4.1, all pages are returned blank
(<html><body></body></html) after an excessively long load time.
I've tried
upgrading to 1.5.5, and even running a fresh install of 1.5.5, all to no avail.
During the install, the 'Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace' step
takes
excessively long.
I have no access to my PHP error logs, because my host (
servage.net) is about as
poor as they come when it deals with customer service.
Any help on this issue would be GREATLY appreciated.
