What exactly did you do to upgrade? Can you provide the output from the installer?
I uploaded via FTP to the server and ran the install program. After running it, this is the text I get with my notes in [brackets]:
• Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/wiki/install-utils.inc on line 26
• PHP 4.3.3: ok • Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. [actually, it has been disabled, but continues to report this] MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. • Warning: PHP's safe mode is active! [actually, it's off, but continues to report this] You will likely have problems caused by this. You may need to make the 'images' subdirectory writable or specify a TMP environment variable pointing to a writable temporary directory owned by you, since safe mode breaks the system temporary directory. • PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) • Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. • PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed. • Have zlib support; enabling output compression. • Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. • Installation directory: /home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/wiki • Script URI path: /wiki • Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure
Note that you CANNOT just copy the old LocalSettings.php from 1.2.
I didn't copy the file. I simply filled in the new LocalSettings.php by hand...the installer doesn't create a new LocalSettings.php when I run it. ___________

^^^^^^^ This is a bad sign. Conversion may fail.
• PHP 4.3.3: ok • Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled.[actually, it has been disabled, but continues to report this]
^^^^^^^^ If it reports that it's on, it's most likely on. Can you confirm that it's off by writing a script that tries to use global parameters?
• Warning: PHP's safe mode is active! [actually, it's off, butcontinues to report this]
Can you confirm it's off by writing a script that violates safe mode restrictions and running it?
You will likely have problems caused by this. You may need to make the 'images' subdirectory writable or specify a TMP environment variable pointing to a writable temporary directory owned by you, since safe mode breaks the system temporary directory.
^^^^^^^ This is a bad sign. Be sure to follow the directions here.
• PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation mayfail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed.
^^^^^^^ This is a bad sign; updating and conversion may fail.
• Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure
^^^^^^^ No further output? Your upgrade has failed. The database conversion may or may not be complete, and you have no LocalSettings.php.

Most likely you've created the LocalSettings.php file incorrectly. Check the include path and **make sure you're loading DefaultSettings.php**. Read in config/index.php for the exact code it would be producing.
