How to enable rendering to local renderserver again

Hello, after upgrading from MW 1.35 to 1.39.5 we don't seem to be able to render pdf books or single pages anymore. We keep getting the warning:

Book Creator is undergoing changes

Due to severe issues with our existing system, the Book Creator will no longer support saving a book as a PDF.

Download single pages

While the Book Creator PDF rendering is disabled, you can try Download as PDF from the sidebar tools for individual articles.

We are running our own render server so this warning does not make sense. Is there a way to get by this and at least try to render books again?

It seems that Mediawiki is still using Collection and single page rendering works, is something else used instead of collection?

Okay, it is working again. The above message is a little confusing to say the least but after I checked the renderserver logging I noticed it was not able to login (private wiki). I fixed this by disabling $wgCollectionMWServeCredentials and made a read exception for the renderserver in LocalSettings.php. Felipe (talk) 10:03, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
