This worked for me to upgrade from 1.4.3.2 to 1.5.1.

BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE STARTING!!
from inside the directory you wish to install magento:

wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.5.0.1/magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz
mv magento/* magento/.htaccess .
chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc
chmod -R o+w media
chmod o+x mage # the copy I got was not owner executable
rm -rf var/* # if it’s not empty
./mage mage-setup .
./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community Mage_All_Latest --force # --force prevents errors
rm -rf magento/ magento-1.5.0.1.tar.gz

EDIT app/etc/local.xml before visiting a page!

That’s the exact problem I’m running into. I can’t figure it out, and there’s no real documentation regarding this.
