After some finagling with my host, I finally figured
out how to run the
maintenance/update.php script from the command line using PHP5 as CGI.
It seems to run smoothly, but then when I look at the Special:Version
page (even after clearing my cache), it still says I'm running PHP
1.10.1. What's going on here? Did the update not take, or do I need to
manually edit something somewhere?
Did anything actually get added/removed/changed? This would seem to
indicate that you're using the old code to access Special:Version -
you need to actually overwrite the files/update your symlinks/etc.
Also, after an update, what are other good maintenance
scripts to run,
or folders that should be deleted? I keep hearing different things from
non-Wikimedia sources, so I thought I'd ask here.
Depends on what the old version was. Pre-1.6, and I'd recommend doing
a links update - and possibly between any other versions which add
link tables, etc. Ideally, you shouldn't have to run any additional
scripts, but in practice, it's nice to check things at upgrade time.
