Hello, here a step-to-step-manual for updating:
1.Copy the code of new version (1.15.1) to the server 2.Copy the "old" LocalSettings.php to the new code 3.Rename AdminSettings.sample to AdminSettings.php (in the new version) 4.Open AdminSettings.php 5.Set $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword (often same as the normal DB user and password) 6.Go into a shell (e.g. SSH or PHPShell(see Google)) 7.Run "php <wiki dir>/maintenance/update.php" MfG Jan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Ekompute .info Gesendet: Dienstag, 28.

Hi Jan, I have never run the maintenance/update.php script before. I always reinstall. I just shifted to GoDaddy and I think I hit a time out when I tried to reinstall my websites using Mediawiki 1.15.1. But when I just link the new Mediawiki to the database for 1.14.0, it seems to work fine until I tried to edit. Then I get this error: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "IndexPager::reallyDoQuery (LogPager)". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'malaysiandumm.tag_summary' doesn't exist (malaysiandumm.db.4707958.hostedresource.com)".
