First of all, Mediawiki 1.25 is out of date and has publically known security vulnerabilities. You should upgrade.
For the error, I would start by checking $wgDBServer. If your db is on the same host as mediawiki and commandline is working, it could be something like using network vs local socket. If 'localhost' is not working try '127.0.0.1' instead (or vice versa) Beyond that, I would look into if there is anything preventing mediawiki from talking to the db (e.g. firewall, selinux, etc) -- bawolff On Friday, November 17, 2017, Daryl Rose <rosed...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I just moved an existing environment from a SLES 11 SP4 xampp/Bitnami > installation to a CentOS 7.4, Apache, MySQL, PHP environment.
