[Mediawiki-l] Upgrade to latest release.

Sat Nov 15 01:17:50 UTC 2003

Hello all,

I've just finished upgrading to the latest release, most things seem to  
be working as expected but there are a few little problems:
* The Message that should appear telling people that they can't edit  
because the database is locked doesn't work. Instead you get "Fatal  
error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in  
/home/sca/public_html/cunnan/OutputPage.php on line 484"

* The misspellings tool is giving false positives.  
http://www.sca.org.au/cunnan/wiki.phtml?title=Special: 
Maintenance&subfunction=mispeelings shows spelling mistakes on  
http://www.sca.org.au/cunnan/wiki/Rosewater that are not there. (this  
was happening before the upgrade as well).

* The article count has started going up again after having stopped  
around 794 before the upgrade. What is the current definition of an  
article?

As for the upgrade itself:
* running upgrade.php gave the following output: "ALTER TABLE ipblocks  
ADD ipb_auto tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', ADD ipb_id int(8) NOT  
NULL auto_increment,ADD PRIMARY KEY (ipb_id);
Creating interwiki table:
** error around line 1-10 in maintenance/archives/patch-interwiki.sql:  
You have an error in your SQL syntax near ';
' at line 7
ok
Adding default interwiki definitions:
** error around line 1-110 in maintenance/interwiki.sql: You have an  
error in your SQL syntax near ';
' at line 108
ok
Updating indexes to 20031107:
** error around line 1-9 in maintenance/archives/patch-indexes.sql: You  
have an error in your SQL syntax near ';
' at line 4
ok
Copying files...
Done." Running the sql scripts manually fixed this.

* Upgrade.php copied the wikipedia logo over my custom logo.
