Hello,
I have to move my wiki installation several times a year and it's always a laborious,
time-consuming admin task.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki
I was wondering if there were any plans to make it easier? Would it be possible to
develop a script or admin functionality to automate the task - saying breaking it into
just two steps: "Export entire wiki" and "Import wiki". It would
backup/restore the database, copy any additional files LocalSettings, (uploaded images
etc), ...
Another problem I encounter is that one platform has an older version of mediawiki and the
new platform has a newer version - but to move the wiki there's no way around
installing two versions on one of the servers. Am I missing something?
Z.
PS Thanks to all the contributors for the great software - it's really top quality!
