MediaWiki 1.16.0 PHP 5.2.15 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 5.1.53-log

I'm trying to install the LiquidThreads extension and need to run the update.php script to update the database. However, when I tried to run it I got the following error:

Fatal Error: Call to a member function getDbType() on a non-object in /home/[username]/[host]/w/maintenance/doMaintenance.php on line 79

I have the following extensions installed:

• Semantic Mediawiki
• Admin Links
• ParserFunctions
• CategoryWatch
• CreatePage
• MooTools12Core
• MultiBoilerplate
• WYSIWYG Extension

Any ideas?

I originally used the one-click install provided by my host if that makes any difference.

It looks like this is actually regarding any maintenance script I try to run. I just tried to run "runJobs.php" and I got the same error.

This is line 79 from doMaintenance.php and the surrounding code:

// Load settings, using wikimedia-mode if needed
// Fixme: replace this hack with general farm-friendly code
if( file_exists( "$IP/wmf-config/wikimedia-mode" ) ) {
	# TODO FIXME! Wikimedia-specific stuff needs to go away to an ext
	# Maybe a hook?
	global $cluster;
	$wgWikiFarm = true;
	$cluster = 'pmtpa';
	require_once( "$IP/includes/SiteConfiguration.php" );
	require( "$IP/wmf-config/wgConf.php" );
	$maintenance->loadWikimediaSettings();
	require( $IP.'/wmf-config/CommonSettings.php' );
} else {
	require_once( $maintenance->loadSettings() );
}


LINE 79 ------> if ( $maintenance->getDbType() === Maintenance::DB_ADMIN &&
		is_readable( "$IP/AdminSettings.php" ) )


{
	require( "$IP/AdminSettings.php" );
}
$maintenance->finalSetup();
// Some last includes
require_once( "$IP/includes/Setup.php" );
require_once( "$IP/maintenance/install-utils.inc" );

// Much much faster startup than creating a title object
$wgTitle = null; 

// Do the work
try {
	$maintenance->execute();

	// Potentially debug globals
	$maintenance->globals();
} catch( MWException $mwe ) {
	echo( $mwe->getText() );
	exit( 1 );
}

Are $wgDBuser and $wgDBpassword set? Are $wgDBadminuser and $wgDBadminpassword set?

Yes to the above settings and I am also still receiving this error when I run any script in the maintenance directory. I also have commented out all extensions and tried running to no avail.
