....Grumble, Grumble. If you review my previous suggestion, Which I know works because Ive done it myself several times. Is to move the old directory to a .old or archived location and unpack the new mediawiki in the same place and use the same setup you should have almost no issues. If you start re-naming the db, moving paths and what not your just adding more variables to make it more complex. At this point You may have caused too much damage to be properly upgraded.
