Today i tried to update to mediawiki 1.3.5 to version 1.4.0
I am afraid that the included instructions are at all not clear (for
someone whose native language is not English)
As far as I understand there is the Web installer, it doesn't say; but
that would mean installing everything from the bottom up, risking to
loose everything if a contradicting answer is given?
So I decided to take option 2: Command line upgrade.
Here my english failes: 'Additionally' does that mean you have to run
the Web-installer AND the command line upgrade? Or is the command line
script an additional option ('Additionally you *can* run...)?? Or can
you just run the update script???
Then I spent a *long* time looking for the correct syntax of
AdminSettings.php, until I noticed I had to copy AdminSettings.sample
and edit it. It is not written in the UPGRADE, perhaps I am stupid and
should have known!
So I decided t just run the command mode script, edited
AdminSettings.php, and then I got the output:
============
> php update.php
Status: 404
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10
No input file specified.
============
And when I point my browser to the new install I get a blank screen...
Can somebody tell me what I have done wrong, and moreover: what I should
have done? And then please no more guesses, just a cookbook recipe how
to upgrade 1.3.5 to 1.4.0
Thanks!
Daniel
