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

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.7.0 released
-----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 (PHP 5.0 is no longer maintained; all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.
