I tried to upgrade an existing 1.5.5 and got:

Adding ss_images field to table site_stats...Query "UPDATE site_stats SET 
ss_images=@images
" failed with error code "Table 'mywikiname.site_stats' doesn't exist 
(localhost)".

On a second run of the config script, the error did not reoccur. Everything 
seems to work fine now.

Cheers,

Markus
