Hi,
That's very interesting indeed. I would recommend trying to upgrade
to 1.28 or 1.29 MediaWiki (the two latest versions). 1.27 will no
longer be supported once 1.30 is released at the end of this year,
and therefore bug fixes for issues like this will be seriously
delayed. However, looking at the database error, it seems to be
that a new wiki is trying to be installed. Are you using the
Update.php script or the Installer.php script? (You should be using
the former, the latter is only for full installs).
Dear Amanda,
Thanks a lot for your advice. I have installed mediawiki129-1.29.1
and the upgrade went smoothly.
The Web-based installer just said:
"There are MediaWiki tables in this database. To upgrade them to
MediaWiki 1.29.1, click Continue."
and no more questions, pure magick.
Now I'm stuck with a Wiki with missing skins, but it's already a
different matter, I hope to fix that myself per the provided
instructions.
