When installing after manual (copying new files, deleting old LocalSettings.php and tried to run setup) this happened: Checking environment... * PHP 4.3.4: ok * Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. MediaWiki will work correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server. You should disable it if you are able. * PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP's memory_limit is 32M. If this is too low, installation may fail! * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Neither Turck MMCache nor eAccelerator are installed, can't use object caching functions * GNU diff3 not found. * Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: /home/httpd/vhosts/meta-showdown.de/httpdocs/wiki * Script URI path: /wiki * Warning: $wgSecretKey key is insecure, generated with mt_rand(). Consider changing it manually.

Can't go on. Tried to update from 1.4.7. No custom changes made to wiki.
It sounds like you may have a mix of files from different versions. Please confirm that you have the correct files.
Well yes and now. The manual did wrong when it says "overwrite existing files with new ones". Instead you have to delete more files than just the LocalSettings.php and that admin file. Just a mistake in the manual... After deleting and uploading everything but the images it started working again.
