I made the upgrade a couple of days ago and following the method above I
haven't had any problems.

Hi Arthur, thanks for the reply. I guess I was just confused by this
description in the UPGRADE file:
Basically, to upgrade a wiki you:
* Back up your data! (See Backups! below)
* Extract the new archive. If you can do this in a clean directory
that's
great, but it should work to extract over the old files too. This may
be easier if you have images etc in place and don't want to move them
around, but remember to back up first!
* Run the installer to upgrade the database schema (if necessary).
Since I had no idea if running the installer was necessary, I did it
anyway. I would think that doing so when it's not necessary should not
throw any errors. Could this be a bug?
I'll try upgrading this time without running the installer.
Thanks,
Scott
