upgrade causing errors (1.2->1.3.1)

I had to do a manual upgrade. I put in all the relevant info, and
double-checked accuracy. When I try to run the wiki, I get the
following errors:

__________
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
.../includes/User.php on line 90

90 foreach ($wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault as $nsnum => $val) {
91 $this->mOptions['searchNs'.$nsnum] = $val;
92 }

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
.../includes/Setup.php on line 254

254 foreach ( $wgExtensionFunctions as $func ) {
255 $func();
256 }

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

328 if( !$wgDebugRedirects ) {

330 }
331 $this->mLastModified = gmdate( "D, j M Y H:i:s" ) . " GMT";
332 }

The Wiki was working just fine before all this. What the hell is going
on? Thank you for your assisstance.

What exactly did you do to upgrade? Can you provide the output from the
installer?

Note that you CANNOT just copy the old LocalSettings.php from 1.2.

I uploaded via FTP to the server and ran the install program. After
running it, this is the text I get with my notes in [brackets]:

• Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in
/home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/wiki/install-utils.inc on line 26

• PHP 4.3.3: ok
• Warning: PHP's register_globals option is enabled. [actually, it
has been disabled, but continues to report this] MediaWiki will work
correctly, but this setting increases your exposure to potential
security vulnerabilities in PHP-based software running on your server.
You should disable it if you are able.
• Warning: PHP's safe mode is active! [actually, it's off, but
continues to report this] You will likely have problems caused by this.
You may need to make the 'images' subdirectory writable or specify a
TMP environment variable pointing to a writable temporary directory
owned by you, since safe mode breaks the system temporary directory.
• PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs
(index.php/Page_Title)
• Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
• PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may
fail! Attempting to raise limit to 20M... failed.
• Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
• Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be
enabled if you enable uploads.
• Installation directory: /home/virtual/site7/fst/var/www/html/wiki
• Script URI path: /wiki
• Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure

Note that you CANNOT just copy the old LocalSettings.php from 1.2.

I didn't copy the file. I simply filled in the new LocalSettings.php by
hand...the installer doesn't create a new LocalSettings.php when I run
it.

^^^^^^^
This is a bad sign. Conversion may fail.

^^^^^^^^
If it reports that it's on, it's most likely on. Can you confirm that
it's off by writing a script that tries to use global parameters?

Can you confirm it's off by writing a script that violates safe mode
restrictions and running it?

^^^^^^^
This is a bad sign. Be sure to follow the directions here.

^^^^^^^
This is a bad sign; updating and conversion may fail.

> • Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure
^^^^^^^
No further output? Your upgrade has failed. The database conversion may
or may not be complete, and you have no LocalSettings.php.

Most likely you've created the LocalSettings.php file incorrectly. Check
the include path and **make sure you're loading DefaultSettings.php**.
Read in config/index.php for the exact code it would be producing.
