Thread:Project:Support desk/Errors upgrading 1.16.to 1.20/reply (2)

You got it right. I restored from backup and did the whole process over, and with one hiccup (needed to set $wgLocaltimezone in LocalSettings.php because the timezone get method in Setup.php wasn't working for me), update.php executed successfully. I suspect something fouled up in the FTP transfer. Thanks for the advice, I owe you a beer.

PS Back up before updating!
