Description Laura Baldwin 2005-09-20 15:00:59 UTC
I'm attempting to upgrade from 1.4.9 to 1.5rc4 to get around the PHP trouble
with passing variables.  

Starting in a clean directory and attempting to run the installer, I get:

Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2005-09-20 20:05:47 UTC
The above output indicates you already had the tables for 1.5 in your database, 
but for some reason you're missing the text table.

Did your upgrade originally fail, and this output is from a *later* attempt? Can 
you provide the original output if so?

Can you confirm how much of the upgrade took place? Are the page and revision 
tables already filled out? If you rename the old table to text, does it work?
Comment 2 Laura Baldwin 2005-09-20 20:37:52 UTC
My intial attempts to upgrade failed for more foolish reasons ("oops, that
wasn't the right password", "oops, that directory wasn't readable").  This was
the first error message that I didn't figure out how to fix, but I'm afraid I
don't have the previous outputs.

There are page.frm and revision.frm files in mysql/wikidb, but no MYI or MYD
files with data in them.  
(and no text.frm).  

(I'm still trying to teach myself all this stuff, so I'm sorry if I answered the
wrong question).


Comment 3 Laura Baldwin 2005-09-21 18:10:49 UTC
Removing the .frm files for which there was no accompanying MYI and MYD file and
trying to re-upgrade got a lot farther, but in the end I've ended up
reinstalling mysql and wikimedia from scratch and it's now working.
Comment 4 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-12-22 20:30:54 UTC
Looks like the URL is now running 1.5rc4 (you should upgrade it :p )

Closing the bug.
