Hi,
I decompressed the tgz in my installation of the previous version of media wiki (a 1.2.6). The site still works and has the new template.
But when I try to login, I get the following error:
A database query syntax error has occurred. This could be because of an illegal search query (see Searching All4dev), or it may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
SELECT user_name,user_password,user_newpassword,user_email,user_real_name,user_options,user_rights,user_touched FROM user WHERE user_id=2
from within function "User::loadFromDatabase". MySQL returned error "1054: Unknown column 'user_real_name' in 'field list'".
Obviously the database didn't update. And I don't know how to update it manually. BTW, the help page about updating is totally useless: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upgrade_from_1.2_to_1.3
Thanks in advance
