Articles Disappear after 2.5.2 upgrade

The links for Books and Special Pages do not exist

The links for Books and Special Pages show http://mb.nawcc.org/showwiki.php?title=.

I also have a very large number of url conflicts reported with the same url "value."

This link actually displays an article from our wiki.

Were there some changes in .htaccess or elsewhere required in the last two upgrades? We skipped 2.5.2.

We had no headers enabled in our wiki forums before the upgrade, but categories and books had them enabled after the upgrade. In both cases those headers pointed to the same bad reference above.

The header namespace is broken in some way and displays articles from the default namespace I think. I had to disable forum headers on each of our forums to make the site usable. The header articles were so long the users could not find the threads.

This was due to a persistent problem in the upgrader where adding Import/Export support for URL Replacements corrupted existing URLs. This has been fixed (again, for the 7th time) in the ZIP. For users who have already upgraded and experience this issue - visit CES VaultWiki > Wiki URL Manager > Edit URL Replacements > Import, click the Import button, then click Rebuild Page URLs.

I realized after I went to bed last night, what I had done.

I slipped and put one of the uploads in a vault directory under vault instead of at the top level. I then ran the install script on it, which I think was xpages, but I am not certain.

I then noticed that the directory was misplaced and uploaded it correctly. I did not realize at that moment that the xml file was working on stale contents of the directory from the previous version.

Can I rerun the install xml files for the subproducts safely?

You shouldn't need to reinstall the XML for the addons, as they don't access any files, so it doesn't matter much that the directories were improperly nested.

This is unrelated to the issue I described in my post above.

Thanks, that was my first impression, but the problem with headings confused the issue.
