IIRC the upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 involved messing around with the db specifically moving to utf8 and there were no scripts in the package. However going to mediawiki's site turned up some how-to's. I would recommend dumping your db to safe a place before running any scripts against it. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
