Error right after installation: Exception caught inside exception handler

[Lucifiel]

Hi, I'm a newbie webmaster who's trying to install Mediawiki and get it up and running. Thing is, this is the second time I've installed MediaWiki and again, I'm encountering the same issue. Yes, the installation supposedly went all right and I'd made sure to double-check the mySQL hostname and other details. However, right after installation had finished, when I tried to log in or register an account on the site or even clicked on the Mediawiki logo or even tried to reload the wiki main page, I got this error instead:

MediaWiki internal error.

Exception caught inside exception handler

I even have tried adding these details to LocalSettings.php in hope I could find out what the issue was but no luck.

Codes from here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to...iki#SQL_errors

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql = true;

I apologise if I sound utterly clueless 'cos I'm still having a lot of trouble getting used to finding my way around the ftp: things like running commands and finding out where certain files like php.ini are... will take some getting use to.

And I'm not even sure where this thread should go to?

I'm in the same boat. I installed it (reinstalled actually) and now when I go to the url I get that message.

What version of PHP are you running on the server where Mediawiki is installed? What version of MediaWiki are you running?

FYI, I had this same error when I moved the wiki from one server to another. I had errors enabled, but only got this simple error. The problem ended up being that even though the database was accessible by the application, either the tables didn't exist, or the tables existed but they were read only. I solved it by re-creating the database and importing the sqldump.

I discovered this when I connected to the db with another client. I could query the database fine, but I couldn't modify it.

Good luck.

I have the same problem but my wiki has been working fine for several months. Few days ago I got this:


MediaWiki internal error.
Exception caught inside exception handler

and I hadn't modified anything.


What do you suggest?

It is a DB issue. You should turn on your mysql log and see what is the problem
