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)

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! :-)
