+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #62486 +++ The Compatibility ( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility ) page states that MediaWiki 1.19.x branch is compatible with PHP 5.2.3+ The core extension ConfirmEdit uses the __DIR__ magic constant that is available in PHP 5.3.0+ only. Had to use the following command as a temporary fix: find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/__DIR__/dirname(__FILE__)/g' {} \;
Are you definitely using the REL1_19 branch of ConfirmEdit? https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ConfirmEdit/tree/REL1_19 Using this commit https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-ConfirmEdit/commit/6b867ba9292837133ff674351f12e946b2444fd1 reedy@ubuntu64-web-esxi:/var/www/wiki/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit$ git checkout 6b867ba9292837133ff674351f12e946b2444fd1 HEAD is now at 6b867ba... Localisation updates for core and extension messages from translatewiki.net reedy@ubuntu64-web-esxi:/var/www/wiki/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit$ grep __DIR__ * reedy@ubuntu64-web-esxi:/var/www/wiki/mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit$
I went to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download and downloaded the 1.19.12 tarball: $:andre\> pwd /home/andre/mediawiki-1.19.12/extensions/ConfirmEdit $:andre\> grep __DIR__ * Asirra.php:$dir = __DIR__; ConfirmEdit.php:$wgConfirmEditIP = __DIR__; FancyCaptcha.php:$dir = __DIR__; grep: maintenance: Is a directory MathCaptcha.php:$dir = __DIR__; QuestyCaptcha.php:$dir = __DIR__; ReCaptcha.php:$dir = __DIR__; grep: resources: Is a directory
Sigh. So this is a bug in the tarball but not in the code repository of the extension... Workaround is to manually get the extension code from Git, I guess. Closing as INVALID here for the code repository; tracking the problem with the tarballs in bug 62101. Maxim: Thanks for catching this. :-/
