I reported the problem here on the mailing list in 2021 February and the
problem is onging since several versions:

"Subject:    [Tiki-users] Problems vs recent upgrades
Sender:     "Tóth Attila" <[email protected]>
Date:       2021. February 28.(V) 12:33
Recipient:  "Tiki users mailing list" <[email protected]>

For several versions now (maybe since 16.x), the installer cannot utilize
the database connection while initiating an upgrade from a browser. The
symptom is that as I enter the database name, the user and the password,
it brings me to the screen where I can select to wipe the database or
upgrade. Upon selecting upgrade it drops back to the screen where I must
specify database connection details."

> * how you manage upgrades as the installer does not work?

"So I get used to perform upgrades in the shell like this:
...
sudo -u apache php console.php database:update
..."

I've been doing manual upgrades from the console since then. I've only
faced an issue with that when I wrote that email. Otherwise it works, no
error messages.

The collation is utf8 for a long time now. I see no relevant error
messages in the logs, which is puzzling for me. However I will watch out
next time I upgrade.

I use other php based web applications on my site (nextcloud, dadabik for
e.g.). Dadabik upgrades smoothly, while for nextcloud I usually also do
manual upgrades without errors.

If you have any ideas how to get closer to the root of this symptom,
please let me know.

Attila
