Hi,
I"ve finally decided to take the bold step of upgrading ( I'm not too
comfortable with change :-) ) from 1.6.5 to 1.9.2 . Now for all you folks who've made
the transition a couple of questions.
Can I just unzip the new files into the same folder of my 1.6.5 keeping the same
extenstions , skins and images folders? And modifying the new localsettings file to
incorporate the same modifications to the previous one??
Basically, yes.
What I did when I recently updated from 1.5.x to 1.9.1 (yeah, I know;
long overdue) was this:
- Backup everything
- Unpack new files over the existing ones
- Check the release notes to see if any changes were needed in
LocalSettings.
- Run maintenance/update.php
- Check all vital parts of the wiki to make sure that everything
was working properly.
Regards,
Arne
