I ran into problems while trying to upgrade mediawiki on a Joyent account. One of the forum members suggested I place this in a bug report:
http://www.virtualmin.com/forums/general-discussion/mediawiki-1.13.2-upg...
Here's the discussion on the Joyent forum:
http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=192639#p192639
Specifics: I used the virtualmin upgrade script for mediawiki. The upgrade was from 1.9 to 1.13.2. Initially I ran into a problem with the update script within virtualmin: couldn't acces mw_page_restrictions.frm
I thought there might be problems with my installation, so I moved LocalSettings.php to the side, and removed any wiki related .htaccess entries.
Then when I access the wiki on my site, I get a mediawiki configuration page. I fill this out with what I presume are the correct values. I then get this error: failed with error code "Table 'user' already exists (localhost)"
This leads me to believe there is a conflict leading mediawiki to think this is an initial install, not an upgrade, yet the upgrade with the LocalSettings in place also had an error.
Here is the output of the script:
