Today i tried to update to mediawiki 1.3.5 to version 1.4.0
I am afraid that the included instructions are at all not clear (for someone whose native language is not English)
As far as I understand there is the Web installer, it doesn't say; but that would mean installing everything from the bottom up, risking to loose everything if a contradicting answer is given?
So I decided to take option 2: Command line upgrade. Here my english failes: 'Additionally' does that mean you have to run the Web-installer AND the command line upgrade? Or is the command line script an additional option ('Additionally you *can* run...)?? Or can you just run the update script??? Then I spent a *long* time looking for the correct syntax of AdminSettings.php, until I noticed I had to copy AdminSettings.sample and edit it. It is not written in the UPGRADE, perhaps I am stupid and should have known!
So I decided t just run the command mode script, edited AdminSettings.php, and then I got the output:
============
php update.php
Status: 404 Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10
No input file specified. ============
And when I point my browser to the new install I get a blank screen...
Can somebody tell me what I have done wrong, and moreover: what I should have done? And then please no more guesses, just a cookbook recipe how to upgrade 1.3.5 to 1.4.0
Thanks! Daniel
