Hi folks,


I just tried to upgrade some wikis from 1.4.15 (to 1.5.8, 1.6.8,
1.7.1) and ran into trouble: while trying access the wiki, I
get an query error - seems the database layout has changed.

How can I update it ?

I ran into a similar problem in one of my updates of it. I am currently running 1.68, and was running 1.4 and may have gone through the 1.5 series. There is documentation on the mediawiki site at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading the key that I think you may be missing is the command:

$ php update.php

Though there are some things with that, such as files moving (I believe) so what looks like it should be simple there are two versions of files there, one in /var/www/ and one on /usr/share/webapps, and I can't tell you what the difference is, and which is needed for what, but I believe both are indeed needed.

Please look at the mediawiki docs as I think they will give you what you need if this message hasn't.
