Uh? You should only use the include directory coming
with your version.
It is the contents of the *extension* directory what you may copy
(although better to check if there's a newer version available).
Also, that error is often produced by having
require_once("extensions/Foo/Foo.php"); instead of
require_once("$IP/extensions/Foo/Foo.php");
I think I know whats going on (at least partially).
The LocalSettings.php file contains
require_once("SpecialTexbox.php");
(I don't know why this in I suppose it has to do with
turning the latex support on.)
In any case in mediawiki 1.9 SpecialTexbox.php is in the
*include* directory.
And indeed no typo, I copied the include directory from 1.9
to 1.16 (making the upgrade most likely useless.) But then
the update _"worked_"
So I either
- could just copy the SpecialTexbox.php to the include
directory of 1.16
- or comment out that line in LocalSettings.php
Any suggestions what is better?
