I have a sqlite mediawiki database, which I think is version 1.36,
with around 10K articles.
I tried installing 1.44 mediawiki and in startup declaring the
sqlite file, and it offers to update, but when I click continue it
returns 504 after awhile and htop shows php with 100% CPU that never
ends (at least after 12 hours) The datetime of the sqlite file does
increment for about 10 - 15 minutes and stop. If I kill it and
reboot, there is still no LocalSettings.php, so it wants to start over.
Is there a way to confirm from the database that it is version 1.36?
Is there a manual upgrade that only does the database and with this
relatively large number of articles? php maintenance/run.php update
wants a LocalSettings.php file which is a result of the upgrade process.
Per T387428 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387428> I am planning
to remove generation of LocalSettings.php from the web updater because
I think anyone who is using it is suffering from a misconception. You
should run the CLI updater using your old LocalSettings.php. You
should not ever need to regenerate your LocalSettings.php, just keep
it forever. The updater will tell you if there are deprecated
configuration variables in it that you need to fix.
Also, I consider MediaWiki's SQLite support to be experimental and not
suitable for wikis with more than one user. If you have a problem
specifically with SQLite, you can always fix it by not using SQLite.
