[Mediawiki-l] Upgrades from 1.2.x originally installed from install.php

Wed Sep 1 18:20:53 UTC 2004

Thanks to those who narrowed down the source of this problem: if you're 
getting the database error when it's trying to convert the link tables, 
this is because it's mistakenly switching from the root connection to 
the database down to the less-privileged account which is unable to 
alter the table structures.

Here's a patch which will keep it using the root login during this step:

Note that if you don't have MySQL root access _at all_, you may need to 
provide the old $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpass as the database 
username and password to the new installer.
