These instructions help you to upgrade your mediawiki installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please NOTE: at this point it is supposed that you've already read
|
||
|
|
RELEASE-NOTES and done full wiki backup, as described here:
|
||
|
|
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the update script
|
||
|
|
=====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: Make sure there's an AdminSettings.php file in the wiki root, and it
|
||
|
|
contains up to date information. The user needs full permissions (shell
|
||
|
|
access) on the database. If there is no AdminSettings.php, create it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR}
|
||
|
|
$ cp AdminSettings.sample AdminSettings.php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now edit AdminSettings.php.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The preferred method of performing the update is using the command-line
|
||
|
|
maintenance script, although it is also possible to re-run the web-based
|
||
|
|
installer. To run command-line maintenance script, change to the maintenance
|
||
|
|
directory and execute the update script:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/maintenance
|
||
|
|
$ php update.php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MediaWiki will inspect the existing schema and update it to work with the new
|
||
|
|
code, adding tables and columns as needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

Upgrade extensions
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Certain extensions have been updated in order to work with MediaWiki 1.13. Be
|
||
|
|
sure to upgrade to the latest versions of such extensions. You might need to
|
||
|
|
perform manual updates to custom extensions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Test the update
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the upgrade has completed, browse to the wiki and check basics such as
|
||
|
|
viewing and editing pages to ensure things still work as expected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Visit Special:Version and check that the version shown is correct.
