I am attempting to upgrade Mediawiki 1.5.6 to the latest (1.6.3). I have
backed up all files and the MySQL database. I then copied over the original
1.5.6 directory with the new 1.6.3 directory. Next, I ran php -cli
./maintenance/update.php and get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_sendto() in
<MEDIAWIKI>/includes/GlobalFunctions.php on line 1506
I have also tried using the web interface to run the upgrade and the same
error message appears. I have also tried just upgrading to Mediawiki
1.6.2and the same isue persists. Below is the versions of applicable
software I
have:
Mediawiki: 1.5.6
PHP 5.0.5 (apache2handler)
MySQL 4.1.15-Max
OS: Redhat Enterprise 3AS
I'd really appreciate it if someone can point out what I'm doing wrong and
recommend how to complete the upgrade. Thanks in advance!!
