Previous install was 1.2.2. It went in without a hiccup. Pulled its strings for a few days same result... worked flawlessly.
Decided to up to the 1.5...snatched it for nightlys then dumped into dirs and hit the "upgrade.php" page and:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /www/xxx/xxxx/htdocs/blog/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 857
I killed the dirs and database tables and did a fresh install of 1.5 and it installed without a hitch.
Have no idea what happened just wanted to throw that seed out there incase it reared its head for others.
the same happened with me. how can this be fixed?
I'm getting the same error. No solution yet, as it seems. I will try to find a newer (or maybe older) version of the file in the CVS and see if i can get that one to work...
When I upgraded this is how I did it and it seems to have worked:
1) Made a backup of the database.
2) Backed up the files from off of the web server
3) Deleted all files & folders from the web site -left now with an empty web site
4) Uploaded all the new files from the install.
5) Ran wp-admin/upgrade.php
6) Uploaded new template files
7) browsed to the website, and verified the new site comes up.
8) Made sure I could login to the admin area
9) Double checked all my settings & made sure all was OK

It's recommended that you DELETE your files on your server, not just copy over them using FTP. It is a known issue that on occasion, files do not get replaced properly, so it's always better to clean out the files first.
Well, i have just deleted everything from my server except for wp-config.php, uploaded the 1.5b1 stuff, called /wp-admin/upgrade.php -- et voila, still the same fatal error. So thanks for your tips, but this was NOT it.
I'm having the same problem with upgrading from WP122 to WP15b1.
I have reported the bug to the Mosquito bugtracker and they're working on it already...

I had this problem but it dissappeared with the latest nightly.
What's the "latest" - 01-07 or 01-06? I tried it four times with 01-06 yesterday and don't wanna do it again wih that one...
1.2->nightly (2005-01-07) on Fedora Core 2.
All I get for upgrade.php is a blank page. Something is working, since install.php tells me wp is already installed. I tried googling, found that the default had display_errors in /etc/php.ini turned off. Turned it on, but still no output. Any hints?
I'm having the same error. I deleted all of my 1.2.1 install, and then put all of the nightly. blank upgrade.php, and same fatal error.
any ideas?
Scooter: details, details ...... what ftp client are you using ? Is your name linked to the wp location ? Was everything working before you tried the upgrade ? Have you deleted and re-tried ?

I suppose this is proof-positive that one wants to be careful moving from a stable version to a beta. It's something that people should consider when wanting to move their production sites to a beta version. It's often been said that it's best to try this on a test site first, and then do the move.

It gave me the error with admin-functions on 1-05, so I mowed through several older nightlies before trying 1-06 again. (Each time deleting the various wp files.) 1-06 worked for me.
I was very careful to backup everything before all that though.

My procedure to restore my database from Mingus (1.2.2) to the latest available version:
1) Mingus is working fine
2) Backup and another recommended stuff ;)
3) Download nightile 1-04 and install it
4) run the upgrade.php
5) erase the 1-04 wordpress directory
6) checkout the latest beta version
Running the upgrade.php from 1-04 upgrade the database. In that way beta-1 don't crash.
That's all!
Great - this worked for me. So http://www.teezeh.info is now running WP 1.5b1 as well. Thanks a lot...
I deleted all my files, and installed the Jan 4th daily. Had to go grab the kubrick image files from another daily (they were missing) and it worked fine. :D
I'm having this problem with 1-07 from 1.2.2, same error, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /xxx/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 857" I suppose I'll try the 1-04 build and see if it will work for me, since that's what seems to be the latest working one for upgrading from 1.2.2.
EDIT:This worked, though I recieved an error "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/b2l0740/public_html/wordpress/wp-settings.php on line 97" which I'll probably figure out how to fix and hopefully be fine with the upgrade.

Faced the same problem, with the upgrade failing on line 857 in te admin-functions.php. I tried using nightly builds '2005-01-18', '2005-01-17' & '2005-01-14'. Then gave up searched the forums and found scooter's post who got build '2005-01-04' to work on the upgrade. So gave it a shot, the Kubrik images were missing so uploaded those and another theme, and it worked after changing the presentation.
I just backed up my database using phpmyadmin, deleted the database after the backup, deleted all the files on my server, and uploaded a fresh beta. Then deleted the new database and plugged in the old one in. Worked great! :)

Just a sidebar comment here...but I don't think that moving from a stable release to a beta should be described as "upgrading".
I agree NM. haha. Good Stuff. I love the new system though. I dont think I could go back to the stable release.

7Mile - thanks! followed your steps and was finally able to get something past 2005.01.04 running. 2005.01.18 running quite nicely!
I noticed 7miles down just deleted the new database and then used his old one. I thought that 1.5 uses a new database setup...maybe I'm wrong though.
And, I to am getting the error on line 857. I deleted ALL the files except for wp-config.php. Meaning the the only things left over from the previous version would be wp-config.php and the database. I then uploaded the new version, minus wp-config.php, and am getting this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home/**********/public_html/dev/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 857
This is a bug that should now be fixed in the latest nightlies.
If you still have problems, please add a note to this bug.
Yeah, I'm getting the problem from the most recent build (1-20-2005)
Does your copy of upgrade-functions.php have this line:
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/admin-functions.php');
That line should no longer be there in the newest version.
It did have that line and I removed it...but that should be the problem as I get the error no matter what file I try to access...index.php, upgrade.php...any and all pages give me that error.

Anybody have any update on this issue?
