Thread:Project:Support desk/upgrading from 1.19.2 to 1.20.x Error: invalid magic word 'speciale'

Redhat Enterprise 6.3 PHP 5.3.3 MYSQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.66

I can update from 1.19.2 to 1.19.3 just fine. But when I attempt to update to 1.20.0/1/2 I get this same error when I try to load a page:

Error: invalid magic word 'speciale'

This is a clean installation with no extensions and the default vector skin. I overwrite my old files like so: tar xvzf mediawiki-1.20.2.tar.gz -C /path/to/your/wiki/ --strip-components=1

Then run "php update.php" in the maintenance directory. Then when I go to the home page (or any page) I get the above error. I can overwrite the files back to 1.19.3 and then run update.php and it will go back to working again, but any 1.20.x version will not work.
