Thread:Project:Support desk/Database error after updating to 1.21.1

Database returned error "1054: Unknown column 'rc_moved_to_ns' in 'field list'

I'm getting the same error in 1.21.1 that people have reported previously.

I was running on 1.16.4 and decided to update.

I downloaded and applied in sequence 1.17.5, 1.18.6, 1.19.7, 1.20.6 and all worked fine! I applied 1.21.1 in the same way and got the above error.

By applied, I mean: 1.)	Untarred mediawikix-x.y.z.tgz into a reference directory. 2.)	Copied old working LocalConfig.php into that directory. 3.)	“cd maintenance” 4.)	Php update.php 2>&1 | tee update.log 5.)    Linked into my http URL "wiki".

By “worked fine”, I mean: 1.)	Navigated to a page and it shows up okay. 2.)	Edit page and apply a trivial change to the page, it saves okay, and it redisplays the page with the change. 3.)	Edit page and remove the trivial change, and it redisplays the page without the change. I received the above error at step #2 upon clicking save.

I am running PHP-5.4.13, MySQL-5.6.13, and apache-2.4.4.

I grepped the 1.21.1 sourcecode and "rr_moved" is gone except in patches. I grepped the sql dump of the database it's also gone there. So, where does this come from? Is there some external caching going on? (I cycled apache & mysql to be sure to flush things.)

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
