I try to run importDump in the specified version about, but it comes with an
error, that there is missing ";" at line 6

Can you verify your copy of importDump.php is exactly the same as the official copy downloadable from MediaWiki.org (Link 6 is a code comment, so its unlikely to be missing a semi-colon)

Please also include:
*The exact error message (Is the missing semi-colon in importDump.php, or did the error just happen while running the script)
*What version of php you are using on the command line (e.g. do php --version). Remember that your command line php might be a different version than your web server's php

Aravind: Feel free to work on bugs if you think that you have enough information. In this case I doubt.

Yes, I was not manipulated MW scripts.

Please also include:
*The exact error message (Is the missing semi-colon in importDump.php, or did
the error just happen while running the script)

The exact error message is: "-bash: line 6 syntax error near unexpected token ;". I dont know, whether is the error in the script itself. This was told me on IRC channel. Due to this error, I am not able to run the script. I am using WinSCP 5.1.7 console to run scripts.

*What version of php you are using on the command line (e.g. do php
--version).

PHP 5.4.24

Remember that your command line php might be a different version than your
web
server's php

Well, server's php is 5.4.

Please paste your line 6.

Juan de Vojníkov: Do you have still issues with update.php? From the IRC channel conversation [1], I guess it was already resolved. Apparently, you executed update.php directly by the shell instead of passing it to php:

[16:31:57] <Juandev> hi

We need a copy and paste of the command entered and the complete output given. Paraphrasing or only providing partial output can lead to confusion.
