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. ___________
