URGENT: Mediawiki file upload error "The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the filename. Please check whether you really want to upload this file."

I recently upgraded my Mediawiki to 1.19.7 from 1.17.  Everything is working fine except we are now unable to upload files.  We always get the following error.

The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a typo in the filename. Please check whether you really want to upload this file.

I have looked at multiple forums that show discussions about the issue, but I have yet to find a solution.  I also am unable to find a bug number.

I also have confirmed all my settings in both php.ini and LocalSettings.ini.  Everything should be working, but no luck.

Has anyone had any experience with this issue and how did you solve it?

Environment:
MySQL 5.0.94
Apache 2.2.12
PHP5 5.3.8-0.19.6

Thanks

Try upgrading to the latest stable release manually.
please  read the Notes
MySQL 5 support is required since MediaWiki 1.19 – if you are using an older version of MySQL and cannot upgrade, you should use MediaWiki 1.18.5 (download).
Some users find it helpful to install an additional software package such as phpMyAdmin (MySQL) or phpPgAdmin (Postgres) to help administer the database server.

Thank you for the reply.  I should be able to upgrade the database, but if not then will a downgrade of Mediawiki work?  I thought that there were schema changes between 1.18 and 1.19.

Thanks

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
