I can upgrade from verstion 1.4.5 to 1.4.10. But when I try to upgrade from either 1.4.5 or 1.4.10 to a 1.5.* or 1.6.* release I fail with the following message. Tag conditions not met. This should never happen and is a bug. Backtrace: GlobalFunctions.php line 451 calls wfbacktrace() Sanitizer.php line 670 calls wfdebugdiebacktrace() Sanitizer.php line 552 calls sanitizer::gettagattributecallback() Parser.php line 655 calls sanitizer::fixtagattributes() Parser.php line 784 calls parser::dotablestuff() Parser.php line 193 calls parser::internalparse() OutputPage.php line 254 calls parser::parse() OutputPage.php line 245 calls outputpage::addwikitexttitle() refreshLinks.inc line 89 calls outputpage::addwikitext() refreshLinks.inc line 55 calls fixlinksfromarticle() rebuildall.php line 34 calls refreshlinks() MediaWiki (http://wikipedia.sf.net/): 1.4.5 PHP (http://www.php.net/): 4.3.4 (apache2handler) MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 4.0.18-Max

If it's listing 1.4.5, you have a broken mix of files. Please upgrade *ALL* files.
The steps I used to do the upgrade are as follows; Download the compressed tar file Using tar -zxvf mediawiki*.gz a directory structure is created for example /tmp/mediawiki-1.5.5 Move using "mv /tmp/mediawiki-1.5.5 /srv/www/htdocs" command the directory structure From the /srv/www/htdocs/wiki directory (where wiki version 1.4.5 is running) I issue a "cp - R /srv/www/htdocs/mediawiki-1.5.5/* ." command. I am assuming that all the files I need to update are copied to the current wiki directory. Update the AdminSettings.php with the mysql user and password Alter the changes in the LocalSettings.php file per the changes in the UPGRADE text document change directory to wiki/maintenance run "php update.php" - all works fine run "php refreshLinks.php" and I get the error as noted above. If I am missing some files and not updating "ALL" of them please tell me where or how to get them. Should I modify my "cp -R" copy command? I am willing to try anything.

Instead of copying all files over your old installation, try copying LocalSettings.php, images and other user content over the new installation.
