That bug (20634)is about having privilege to create tables. During my 1.16.0 installation tables were successfully created. It was granting the wiki database user "ALL" privilege that was the problem because my database user does not have privilege to do that. I believe in previous versions it granted only [select,insert,update,delete].
Also, I have successfully upgraded a 1.15.1 wiki I've had for a while to 1.16.0 with no problems. The update.php and refreshlinks.php ran ok. So, it would seem I could install a new wiki using 1.15.1 with my current database user's privilege, then update to 1.16.0. Since I could do this, why is the installation requiring a higher privilege for the new wiki's database user? New installs will have users with higher privilege than those who upgraded from older versions. I assume both new and upgraded wikis at version 1.16.0 will run fine, so why the change for new installations? -Jim -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Lees [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2010 5:39 PM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] installation issue with 1.16.0 - mysql user privilege On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Sullivan, James (NIH/CIT) [C] <[email protected]> wrote: > Have the privilege requirements for the database user privileges changed from > 1.15 to 1.16 for installing mediawiki?

Yes, it's in the release notes (though it's buried pretty deep): (bug 20634) The installer-created database user will now have all rights on the database so that upgrades will go more smoothly. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
