OK I think
this has previously happened to me. Did you rename
LocalSettings.php to something
else, copy the new MediaWiki files over
and then simply rename LocalSettings.php back? I know that is what the
instructions say but my advice is to rename it, go to your wiki, hard
refresh and this should trigger the installer. Use the values in your
original LocalSettings.php to install, then move the new one as it
says and add your additions to it.<<
Thanks, I'm not sure what it was, either I could have left the
LocalSettings.php
file in the config folder or actually I think it could be just that I copied
in all the
new php files without renaming LocalSetting.php first..
Anyway, when I followed your instructions, it did go through the installer,
prompting for all the settings and making the schema changes (copied below).
From the listing, it looks like the schema or database
changes were NOT
made earlier so it's good to have made them now..
e.g. ...index cl_sortkey on table categorylinks has no field cl_from;
adding
Thanks for your help! This is a great list.
