Myron,
I'm running on MacOS, so capitalization of Plugin.php shouldn't be a problem.
At the end of the process, before I copy in a new Plugin.php, there exists neither Plugin.php[/m] nor [m]plugin.php.
I'm willing to try the dokuwiki downloader (and will do, next chance I get) but I always worry that it will overwrite something important to me.
The instance I reported here is the 3rd attempt I've made to install 2018-04-22b; so I'm not sure doing it again will help. But I will try.
Finally, I note that in doku.php, $updateVersion is still 50.1.
I will report back next week, when I have a chance to sit down and try all this stuff again.

If the update version is still at 5.01, it probably hasn't been fully updated, if at all. I have a mac available to me. I'll see what I can do to check it out. I'm not sure where I am with updating on the mac; basically, I just use it for testing.

By the way: be aware that for the dokuwiki downloader, you have to install into an empty directory, since it deletes everything from the install folder but the new installation.

Well, it took some doing. The problem is that the upgradder removes Plugin.php as deprecated, but at least the mac installation needs it (since I've upgraded a numbert of greebos elsewhere without this problem), So after several tries, this is what worked.
1. I downloaded the latest stable dokuwiki from download.dokuwiki.org; it has the needed Plugin.php.
2. I put it in the inc directory, from which the downloader (I think) had deleted it.
3 . I did the upgrade
4. I replaced the Plugin.php back into the inc directory.

Myron,
Thanks again. I will try these steps next week when I'm back in the office.
Just FYI, the Mac isn't running the latest OS. It's running 10.12.6. And PHP 5.6.30.

Myron,
I followed your instructions of 18 Jan, but I still get the exact same problems as originally described.
And $updateVersion is still 50.1.
I guess I'll have to try the downloader next....

Since I can't seem to get the upgrade plugin to do the 2018-04-22b hotfix, I'm looking at using the downloader.
However, everything I've read suggests to me that this can be.... dangerous.
Can someone point me to some doc somewhere that walks one through the process of using the downloader for an upgrade?
turnermm
You MUST NOT use the downloader for upgrades. It deletes everything in the directory and replaces it with the new dokuwiki.

Myron,
I'd gathered that, though I certainly appreciate the warning.
I figured there's a way to use the downloader to create a wiki and then copy my stuff on top of it so that it amounts to a clumsy but ultimately doable upgrade.
Did I figure wrong?
If not, then... what's the sensible next step? Wait for the upgrade plugin to be fixed?
(Just looking for clarity here; I'm not complaining.)
turnermm
That should be ok. But it's probably a good idea not to copy over the cache.

Thanks Myron. Assume no (further) news from me is good news. ;-)
