Description

I tried to upgrade my Tiki kipinapartio.fi from 17.1 to 18.0 .

During the database migration phase got this error:

This is an old Tiki that has been upgraded many times. Reverting now back to 17.1 but I'm available to provide any extra info you need.

Solution

As discussed in the tikiwiki-devel thread:

Chealer wrote on 23 Feb 18:
This looks like a bug in TikiLib::lib(), exposed when requesting TikiLib when tiki-setup_base.php has not run. Other installer "patches" like installer/schema/999999991_decode_pages_sources_tiki.php and installer/schema/99999999_image_plugins_kill_tiki.php have worked around it.
Source: https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/mailman/message/36236145/

Nothing to do with the above imho, hopefully fixed in r65660 Sorry, Chealer, you're absolutely right i think, r65660 didn't work - just adding tiki-setup.php in 20171123_create_object_links_tiki.php would probably do it but i don't know what that script is supposed to do really so better leave it to the original author (Asa?)

Maybe r65950?

This was fixed for Tiki 18.2 by Lukas Masek via revisions 66546 and 66547: http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/66547
