[wikka-community] 1.2 Upgrade - stuck on setup.css

[Frank Kibbish]

OK, I took Brian's advice...

I restored the original 1.1.6.2 configuration, then copied 1.2 over the top
of it and re-ran the installation.  This time it appears to have worked.

I don't know what went wrong the first time -- probably cockpit error on my
part -- but I'm now merrily slogging through the css file in the default
theme to get back to the custom css layout that I had before.  In fact, I'm
nearly done with the css changes; I'm just futzing with header.php to get
things looking the way I want them.

Thanks to all for your help.

Frank
