Mark, I try to upgrade mediawiki 1.21rc1 installation at http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/c/ to mediawiki 1.21rc5 at http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/o/
In order to do this in methodologicallycorrect way, I make the clone of previous wiki with new fersion of the support.
I have dumped the database. I created the new database. I load the dump to the new database. I extracted and copied the dustribution from mediawiki-1.21.0rc5.tar I loaded there the images from the previous version. Now I try to setup, indicating the database I just created. it says: There are MediaWiki tables in this database. To upgrade them to MediaWiki 1.21.0rc5, click Continue.
I click, but come to the same message. There is a bad loop; all the time it siggests that I click "continue", but does not seem to do anything else.
In othere words, I could make a "readonly" clone of the old mediawiki installation at http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/TORID/ but I cannot do the same for the recent installation of mediawiki 1.21rc1.
I tried to copy the previous LocalSettings.php with appropriate modifications, but it provides the empty page. I remove the LocalSettings.php, and try to setup again, and again come to the bad loop..
I think, this is a bug. I expect, you can easy reproduce this effect, trying to setup http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/o/

Mark, I have installed the new version. I used the previous databasa from site tori.ils.uec.ac.jp/TORI (disconnected by order of the director) and figures from there. The old pages, and old figures, except one, are seen. The new figures cannot be uploaded, the message is [549ad7fd] 2013-05-14 05:33:25: Fatal exception of type UploadStashFileException
If I change the LocalSettings.php, declaring $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false; Then I can load new figures, but in this case old figures are not shown. I change the setting back (suppressing that line); then the old images are seen, but the new image (just uploaded) is not seen. Could you look, please, at http://mizugadro.mydns.jp/t/index.php?title=Category:Problem_with_fig and say, is this my fault or a bug?
