[SOLVED] mediawiki 1.6.8 -> 1.7.1 upgrade gone wrong...

[oKtosiTe]

I upgrade mediwiki from 1.6.8 to 1.7.1 today using the command:

Code: Select all

webapp-config -U mediawiki 1.7.1 -d w

Now when I try to run the update.php script or browse to server/w, I get:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w/includes/Exception.php on line 114

I couldn't find any post-upgrade instructions... what did I do wrong?

EDIT: I just realized mediawiki 1.7 needs PHP5, which still isn't the default on my server. How do I go about using PHP5 for mediawiki, without killing my CMS's that still require PHP4?

EDIT 2: I upgraded my CMS's to versions that support PHP5 and used php-select to set PHP5 as the default, "problem" solved.
