[Mediawiki-l] Update.php Failure on Upgrade From 1.4.4 to 1.5.5

Sat Jan 14 22:23:24 UTC 2006

I was moving a MediaWiki Installation to another account and upgrading the
database from version 1.4.4 to 1.5.5.  I updated the LocalSettings.php file
with the changes in database name, etc.  I created a AdminSettings.php file
with my dbadmin username and password.

I ran update.php a couple of times and got an access error, so I switched
AdminSettings.php to root user and password.  That got past the access
problem, but I hit this error:

[snip]
Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace...
A database error has occurred
Query: INSERT  INTO `text` (old_id,old_text,old_flags) VALUES (NULL,'$1
moved to $2','utf-8')
Function: Revision::insertOn
Error: 1146 Table '<databasename>.text' doesn't exist (localhost)

Backtrace:

Am I supposed to have a Table named <databasename>.text?
