Thread:Project:Support desk/Fatal Error while upgrading from 1.16.5 to 1.17/reply (2)

Ran into this problem too. I ended up commenting out  in the Parser.php file just to get my wiki working again.

Heres what i did.
 * Downloaded the mediawiki-1.17.0.tar.gz file to my home computer, uncompressed, ftp'ed files to my web host overwriting all files (just like i have been doing for years with MW)
 * Tried uploading mediawiki-1.17.0.tar.gz to my web server and uncompressing it there
 * Ran into the same Fatal error doing it both ways.

Updated a second wiki (local, on my home linux server), alittle older wiki 1.16.x (not .5 but but still under 1.16 (sorry cant rember the version)) and had no problem at all, update whent nice and smooth.


 * Tried changing the default skin (was using custom) on the Fatal error wikis (shot in the dark, only noticable different), made no difference.
