Hi, Trying to upgrade from 1.19 to 1.24.2 on a Windows machine. When running update.php I get a message from Validator that the MW version does not meet the requirements because it must be 1.16 or higher. Does anybody know what is going on and what should be done to do the upgrade? Thanks! Ad

Hey Ad, Apparently for some reason, the code doing this check is not getting the actual version number. Which implies the problem lies elsewhere and this is just the first thing that is blowing up. My guess is that there is something wrong with when your extensions are getting loaded. I don't quite remember the details, though suggest that you look at the installation instructions of the relevant extensions for MediaWiki 1.24, and make sure you are doing what is outlined there, and no additional (outdated) things.

it must be 1.16 or higher

I just realized that the current constraint is 1.17, so perhaps you are simply running a too old version of the extension? Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw - http://www.bn2vs.com Software craftsmanship advocate Developer at Wikimedia Germany ~=[,,_,,]:3

I have a similar problem with update.php, which led to the fact that after update to 1.23.1, I had to skip Semantic Wiki and all similar extensions (which I used only on a few pages). The problem in my case turned out to be an incompatibility of my host's PHP 5.5, which does not understand PCRE 7.2 and higher (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Errors_and_symptoms/PCRE). So I have to wait until they update everything (and I wait for one year now, the host is a university...). Not sure, whether this is the same problem as Ad's, but anyway MW- and SMW-gurus probably should notice this (otherwise they do a great job, though. The fault, in this case seems to be with changed PERL, PCRE requirements, if I got that correctly).
