linenumbers could be bogus as I changed the file to get it to work.
The issue is that you need to put the classes at the top of the file
SpecialPage.php. I did that and the upgrade works.
I just tested on an upgrade from a fresh install of 1.4.13 to 1.5.5, running
upgrade1_5.php, with PHP 4.4.1, no custom configuration to MediaWiki.
There was no problem at all; the program ran through to the end.
another issue is in UPGRADE, you need to tell folks to
change $IP and
not just to copy LocalSettings.php, otherwise no upgrade works..
If they change the directory, obviously they need to change the path reference.
If they don't, they don't.
