Error when connecting to old database

My first question to the support desk was continuously marked as spam.

If I try to post a question, it will be imedeately marked as spam. I can send it to the tech. support page without any problem. But there I was told, wrong place for my question.

My original question: I’m using MediaWiki: 1.17.0 PHP: 5.3.28-nmm4 (fpm-fcgi) MySQL: 5.6.24-nmm1-log on um-bruch.net/uwiki

One year ago my webhoster told: “- Please do not use the "AddHandler php4-cgi .php" command line in your ''.htaccess file anymore. Instead you need to alter the command line into'' "AddHandler php5-cgi .php". and 2) After the server update you are able to use PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5 (in CGI mode), the latest versions of PHP.

3) MySQL is going to be updated from 5.1 to 5.5. This will not lead to any expected errors.

After the server-update my wiki did not work anymore. My webhoster helped with an addition of some .htaccess files to my wiki installation path and the root. But still some problems remain.

I decided to install the newest wiki version as test with a new empty database. MediaWiki: 1.25.2 PHP: 5.6.13-nmm4 (fpm-fcgi) MySQL: 5.6.24-nmm1-log on um-bruch.net/twiki It is running without any problems. But when I am trying to connect it to my old database (by change in the LocalSettings.php) I get an error. “A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.”

My question: Was there any change in the structure of the database since 1.17.0? The number of tables is still 49, but I do not now, wether changes are made in the relations or the table definitions. Is there any other way to update the database to wiki 1.25.2?

I'm grateful for any help.
