I have been running MediaWiki v1.4.15, and tried upgrading to v1.7 today...
As I don't have any root access, I relied on the webinstaller. After making secure backups of everything, I crossed my fingers, uploaded the files, and pushed ready to go. The install script runs fine, but after pressing "install", the browser promptly comes up with a new screen and simply hangs there, nothing happening, page load done. It is not apparent to me, if an error has occured or something, and this is the intended behaviour?
No localsettings.php is created - and it doesn't seem like the installer is actually doing any work. Can someone explain what is going on? - Or please direct me to a page of reference? I'm not even sure if this is an error message or if so, what the error is precisely.
This is what the screen tells me :
Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /customers/crewscut.com/crewscut.com/httpd.www/install-utils.inc on line 21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
This is the quarterly release snapshot for Summer 2006. While the code has been running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and upgrade bits may be less well tested. Bug fix releases may follow in the coming days or weeks.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept "ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature development happen on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
This is the first version of MediaWiki to require PHP 5. 5.1.x is recommended; 5.0 may work but is not well tested. (PHP 5.0 is no longer maintained; all PHP 5.0 users should upgrade to a current 5.1 release to ensure they have all security fixes.) PHP 4.x is no longer supported by MediaWiki. If you are unable to upgrade PHP, sorry, but you will have to stick with old versions of MediaWiki for now.

Does this mean the installation failed on this account?
I have no access to changing the memory limit of PHP - previous versions of MW installed smoothlessly even if this failed, still generating a localsettings file and working fine.

Check the PHP and MySQL error logs to find out why it's stalled. You've been presented with one clue so far...

Thanks, I gratefully pick up all I can get!
I have no access to the MySQL or PHP log files - our wiki is installed on a remote server/webhotel. I would love to dig around more on my own - but I am not a programmer, and have next to little knowledge of the inner workings of MySQL or PHP - I'm a total noob when it comes to server configurations, even while I learn every bit of the way.
I'm just curious if this is normal. Wouldn't I receive a proper failure message, if/when the install script fails? Would installing MW 1.7 require more PHP memory than previous installments of MW, which installed perfectly even still complaining about the PHP memory-limit?
One thing confused me about the install-script - the bottom forms asking for a root user. Do I leave those fields blank, or prefilled with the "root" and the "-" ? I am not a root user, but the database user needed exists and nothing more should be neccessary?
Best wishes, Morten

As I had no luck updating to 1.7, and next to no support from our webspace provider, I had a go at the latest 1.6 version.
It installed next to near flawlessly. I am deeply impressed. I just wanted to express my respect and admiration for what this software has come to, in improved functionality and accessability. When I take a look at some bits of the code, I see how much has been cleaned and tightened up. What a robust piece of work! I am at awe at this software machinery put at my disposal.
Congratulations on a work well done. It is a ride I am looking forward to follow during the next years to come.
Best wishes, Morten :-)

Does MediaWiki 1.7.0 automatically support SVGs??? I had problems with 1.6.6 when I tried to upload SVGs, any chance this will work??

Since I resort to shouting RTFM when I want to be a total asshole, allow me to kindly point you to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgSVGConverter.
MediaWiki supports SVG images in as far as you can allow them to be uploaded, and specify an application to use to rasterise them to PNG images; similar to how it can interact with ImageMagick or another converter, to scale images server-side.
