[Mediawiki-l] Errors after MySQL 5.0 upgrade

Sat Jan 28 19:21:20 UTC 2006

I was running MediaWiki 1.4.4 on MySQL 4.1.  When I upgraded MySQL to 5.0, 
any attempt to use the Wiki resulted in this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /data/www/localhost/htdocs/wiki/includes/ObjectCache.php on line 409

I tried deleting the rows in the objectcache and querycache tables, with no
luck.

I thought I'd try to upgrade to 1.5.6.  No luck - different error:

MediaWiki 1.5.6 installation
