This is so simple and showstopping it'll be something stupid on my part.
We have a 1.13 installation. I tried setting up a test wiki with
1.16b2 on the same database ("techwiki") with a new table prefix
("testwiki_").
We have a user, "admin". I tried installing 1.16b2 and got error 1044,
insufficient privileges. I did, per the mediawiki.org FAQ, as root:
mysql> grant all privileges on techwiki to 'admin'@'%' identified by
mysql> 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
- and ran it again. I got (last lines of the install page):
# Attempting to connect to database server as admin...success.
# Connected to mysql 5.0.41; enabling MySQL 4.1/5.0 charset mode # Database
techwiki exists # Creating tables... done.
# Initializing statistics...
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the
software. The last attempted database query was:
SELECT user_id FROM `testwiki_user` WHERE user_name = 'WikiSysop' LIMIT
1
from within function "User::idForName". Database returned error "1146:
Table 'techwiki.testwiki_user' doesn't exist (localhost)".
Looking in the database, it has *not* created any tables, so "Creating
tables... done." is untrue.
So what silly thing haven't I done yet?

Hi all,
I attempted to move a Wiki (MediaWiki 1.8.2) and failed because lots of
images/documents/PDF's that were part of that Wiki were for some reason in
the table for the external links ( mw_externallinks ) and, on top of that,
what I got is full pathnames. So, if my Wiki used to live under
http://mywiki.mydomain.com/ the files would be listed as
http://mywiki.mydomain.com/a/0/image1.jpg and such.
Any idea why? Or how to correct that?
Thanks in advance.
Boris.

OK, everybody, never mind, looks like this was a false alarm - looks like a
lot of pages simply contained full links as opposed to relative ones.
(A matter of user editing).

Thanks Huib, Ryan, Courtney (sorry I called you Catherine before!), and
Platonides for your suggestions for getting the admin password sorted out!
In the end, I disabled the LDAP, and had to associate my email with the
Wikiadmin account (another dumb mistake, not setting up the email) in MySQL,
and then was able to use the password reset function on the wiki login
screen with the LDAP disabled. Have since made myself and two other LDAP
accounts Bureaucrats and Sysops to prevent further foolishness. :)
Thanks again!
Nina

You are right. The relevant code was:

I have been fixing that. Can you replace your config/Installer.php with the
one at
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/phase3/config/Ins
taller.php?view=markup&pathrev=65673
?
It will probably still fail, but this time with an error message.

There doesn't seem to be an extension for that

Howerver, it's easy to fetch all the emails from the db for sending them an
email with bcc.

2 years old wikis are likely to be outdated. But you can use it. Note that
on your version $wgUsersNotifiedOnAllChanges is mispelled as
$wgUsersNotifedOnAllChanges That version has security issues, though.

hi,
is it enough to change the sources by extracting and copying the tarball
over the existing installation, or do i need to run the update.php script?
any changes in the database-schema?
kind regards

It did indeed: MySQL insisting 'admin'@'localhost' didn't have the right to
create tables.
My GRANT line in the previous email was wrong - the one that works is:
grant all on techwiki.* to 'admin'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
I now have a bare 1.16b2 wiki :-)
