Manual talk:Upgrading to 1.10

Where to download ZIP Package? -- 213.217.33.208 17:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't know, but you can unzip the tar.gz package with WinZip. I know as I did that and set up a MediaWiki installation. ;) -- Sayuri 17:49, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

After I tried this, I was getting; Database 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 "". MySQL returned error "1146: Table 'mediawiki.cur' doesn't exist (database.server.name)". --198.243.253.250 22:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * At which point of the installation? Titoxd (?!?) 08:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Got the error after installing and trying to load up the main page. Installed via the overwrite method since the command line method isn't configured on the server that I'm using. --Mark J. 198.243.253.250 17:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

update.php and safe_mode
Our server has safe_mode switched off by per-VirtualHost rules. So in our php.ini there's  safe_mode = On

Having safe_mode = On results in A copy of your installation's LocalSettings.php must exist and be readable in the source directory. [/data/www/wiki.uugrn.org/htdocs/LocalSettings.php]

if ( ! is_readable( $settingsFile ) ) { print "A copy of your installation's LocalSettings.php\n". "must exist and be readable in the source directory.\n". "[".$settingsFile."]\n"; exit( 1 ); }
 * commandLine.inc:

... but the file is there and readable: -rw-r--r-- 1 root  www  4925 Mar 31 13:08 /data/www/wiki.uugrn.org/htdocs/LocalSettings.php

You (developers) should check against safe_mode settings and put at least a warning then.

Setting safe_mode = Off is necessary before running update.php

Everything else went fine (updating from 1.9.2 to 1.10.0), thx! :-)
