Summary: When select "Chinese/zh" as the language during creation of the "LocalSettings.php" This will cause the mediaWIKI to totally crash after LocalSettings.php is loaded. Detailed testing procedure: Create "LocalSettings.php" with "Chinese/zh" as the language. A fine main page is displayed after initial load of this LocalSettings.php. As soon I click on an internal link(e.g: login/register) The whole site crash and become not accessible.(e.g: display blank page or error message) PHP Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 1209 of 2469 bytes in E:\Inetpub\MabiWIKI\includes\objectcache\SqlBagOStuff.php on line 430 Delete the LocalSettings.php and setup with "English" selected as the language. Everything works fine again.
Windows IIS 6 was used for the testing above.
further testing shown that: when "Chinese Characters" is added to the sidebar(regardless what language it was during the creation of the LocalSetting.php), immediately the whole site crash.
I can't see this issue on the site given in URL field ( http://mabi.thelongnight.net/index.php?title=Main_Page ). btw Are you sure this is a Language converter bug?
User said this was a db encoding problem. From the thread: AFTER 3 DAYS, PROBLEM RESOLVED! cause: forgot to change MYSQL default setting to UTF8 it was latin1, thus when Chinese char is used, it fails.
