On newly installed Ubuntu, Mediawiki. Downloaded Cite and installed in extensions directory. Changed LocalSettings.php. Version output Product Version MediaWiki 1.15.5-7 PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.5.28-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 Tested by Project:Sandbox and a simple reference. It doesn't work. Tried the same thing on my own Mediawiki on my Mac and it works. Strikes me as a path problem, but don't know where to look.
MediaWiki 1.15 was EOL in December 2010.
Please upgrade to a supported version (latest 1.20 or latest 1.19) and report back if the problem still exists. 1.15 is not supported anymore and we will not provide any code fixes. In case you look for support to fix your problem, please contact https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk . Thanks!
We discussed this via email and it turns out the way MediaWiki was set up from the Ubuntu package was confusing and the extension require_once lines weren't going to into the right file. In other words, not a MediaWiki issue. :)
