rebuildMessages.php

Hi,
I have a problem with the following task (From
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_i18n) in mediawiki 1.2.4:

2) Run maintenance/rebuildMessages.php to re-import the messages. You'll
have to temporarily take out the maintenance script warning in your
LocalSettings.php to run it, probably. It needs to be run from the
command line. (This'll be cleaner in 1.3.x...)

When I start this script from the shell (php rebuildMessages.php), nothing happens, but I see no error msgs in the php log. And whats that "maintenance script warning in your LocalSettings.php"? I can't find that ...

I have a wiki which was installed with $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; I now switched to "true" and want to re-import the german messages into the database and then work on the user interface.

By the way: Is there any documentation for the maintenance scripts at all? I could not find an overview about when to use which script...

Thanks & Bye, Thommie

Hi again,
I still need help with this: How can I re-import the de messages for a
1.2.4 wiki which was installed with $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false and
shall now be used with $wgUseDatabaseMessages = true, but with a german UI?

Thanks, Thomas

I believe running the rebuildMessages.php script (from the command
line) in the maintenance directory should re-update the messages.

Be forewarned: using DB messages is pretty darn expensive in terms of
performance, unless you're using memcached. I really wish I could turn
them off, but 1.2.x seems to need them for {{msg:}} transclusion.
