[Mediawiki-l] Fata error upgrading 1.17.0 to 1.18.2

[Boyandin Konstantin]

Hello,

Wgen trying to upgrade MediaWiki installation 1.17.0 to 1.18.2, the following happens when running ,aintenance/update.php:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getDbType() on a non-object in maintenance/doMaintenance.php on line 91

(all upgrade steps are made as recommended in the supplied document).

The DB is garbled after that, I had to reverse both files and reload DB dump to have site back in working state.

Is the above a known problem? PHP version is 5.2.17.

Thanks.
Sincerely,
Konstantin

No. It should have worked flawlessly.
Is any of your extensions changing $maintenance in their script? That
would explain what you're seeing.
What are your extensions? You could try disabling them and then run
update.php after enabling them again.
