It doesn't say so explicit, but this document assumes you have installed 1.5.8 at the new location, imported the database, and then upgrade the software to 1.6.
I must have missed something.
what I did:
*copy all the mediawiki folder to the new computer (mysql/php as already stated) - so Localphp* is also copied, and images.
*create the database wikidb
*setup the root pass at the mediawiki known value
at that point, the two install (old and new) are the same, safe for the mysql/php versions
when I connect to mediawiki I have the good upper left image (so it connects), but the message "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties"
running update.php through browser is refused (run it as command line)
but running as command line gives me an html error message (!!!)

so there is a pass problem.
in fact there is no root pass in the Local.. file so I must probably create by hand the wikiuser user, but I need to do this with the hash pass.
I think I have seen something about this in the doc. I'll see this later, now I must go :-)
