Hi, I have a strange problem with the 1.5.2 upgrade process:

- I have a mediawiki version 1.3.7 running on mysql 4.0.15-Max-log. The sql data were dumped with --default-character-set=latin1 and imported into a test-db on the same server (4.0x). - I performed the update process as described in UPGRADE: First started the maintenance/upgrade1_5.php. Then used the classic web-update for finishing the process. The web update showed the following error:

Initialising "MediaWiki" namespace... A database error has occurred Query: SELECT old_text,old_flags FROM `text` WHERE old_id = '4399' LIMIT 1 Function: Revision::loadText Error: 1146 Table 'gaia_wikintern15.text' doesn't exist (localhost)

Backtrace: GlobalFunctions.php line 451 calls wfbacktrace() Database.php line 408 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace() Database.php line 358 calls databasemysql::reportqueryerro r() Database.php line 734 calls databasemysql::query() Database.php line 753 calls databasemysql::select() Revision.php line 574 calls databasemysql::selectrow() Revision.php line 370 calls revision::loadtext() InitialiseMessages.inc line 185 calls revision::gettext() InitialiseMessages.inc line 72 calls initialisemessagesreal() updaters.inc line 670 calls initialisemessages() index.php line 609 calls do_all_updates()

If I compare the converted db structure to the structure of a fresh 1.5.2 installation, I see an additional table "text" in the converted wiki. So it looks like the script wants to access a table "gaia_wikintern15.text'" (where "gaia_wikintern15" is the db name) where it should originally access a table named "text". Looks like a parsing problem ...

For testing reasons, I also performed an update from the 1.3x to 1.4.12 (both on the same server and on a mysql 4.1), which worked OK.

Any ideas how to fix this? (I couldn't find any notes in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upgrading_MediaWiki http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upgrading_MediaWiki and the IRC wasn't responding)

Bye, Thomas
