I agree with this. A couple of years ago I ran into the same (or at least a
very similar) problem:

No. Once I commented that out, the update script ran successfully. My
wiki is now at 1.38.2.
I will look into trying to generate a new LocalSettings.php file during the
next upgrade, if I can remember to. That said, I run a smallish site and

Very good catch. That line was added by the installer before a rework in
MediaWiki 1.17 (2011). It has been causing DefaultSettings.php to be
loaded twice since then, but that was harmless until 1.38. This explains
why this problem didn't emerge before release, and why using a new
It never gets to this point. The error is apparently thrown before this.
Mind you, this is only if I keep this line in LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
If I remove that, $wgBaseDirectory and MW_INSTALL_PATH are the same value.
So perhaps it has something to
This is my second request to be removed from the email list as I no longer

Distro.
Thanks and have a great, safe 4th!
Thank you!

Hi.
I had exact the same behavior with an x-times updated version of
mediawiki. This could be solved by generating a fresh LocalSettings.php
file generated by the installer. This makes even more sense since there
have been some changes in declarations which won't make it in that file

Pretty strange, since the error in question literally checks
"$wgBaseDirectory !== MW_INSTALL_PATH". Maybe there's something weird
going on because of the order in which the files are initialized.
What does it output if you add debugging checks for $wgBaseDirectory and
MW_INSTALL_PATH after line

Each time I upgrade, I unzip the archive to a new directory and copy over
the images and extensions. So I've been using the "core" version of Vector
for a while. That said, commenting out the line with wfLoadSkin('Vector')
still generates the following error:

Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck here. I did indeed have the old

Hi Jeffrey, I think this is indeed the same issue as in the previous
thread:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/mediawiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/5YKDMFRHANRXKFDLWGLHXTGWSOW7V676/
Of course, you have reached the point where I didn't have a way forward. :-)
