Hi,

I'm desperately trying to upgrade from 1.4rc1 to 1.6.8. I followed all the information I could find on the web but still having no success.

I manage to upgrade within 1.4 easily up to 1.4.15. But upgrading to everything >= 1.5 fails with:

... Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace... A database error has occurred Query: SELECT old_text,old_flags FROM `text` WHERE old_id = '48' LIMIT 1 Function: Revision::loadText Error: 1146 Table 'wikidb.text' doesn't exist (localhost)

Backtrace: GlobalFunctions.php line 602 calls wfbacktrace() Database.php line 473 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace() Database.php line 419 calls databasemysql::reportqueryerror() Database.php line 806 calls databasemysql::query() Database.php line 825 calls databasemysql::select() Revision.php line 667 calls databasemysql::selectrow() Revision.php line 435 calls revision::loadtext() Revision.php line 424 calls revision::getrawtext() InitialiseMessages.inc line 197 calls revision::gettext() InitialiseMessages.inc line 72 calls initialisemessagesreal() updaters.inc line 822 calls initialisemessages() update.php line 67 calls do_all_updates()

Apparently, there's no 'text' table in older databases.o How can I upgrade my database? -- I tried the scripts upgrade1_5.php and update.php (in this order). The old databse is already UTF8 encoded.

Any help much appreciated!
