> Regarding Re: [Mediawiki-l] how to upgrade running
1.9 to 1.16 with all the extensions; Brion Vibber <brion(a)pobox.com> adds:
In most cases an upgrade should be pretty painless;
follow the directions in
the file UPGRADING. Basically:
* back everything up
* drop in the new source
* run maintenance/update.php
I am not 100 % sure I understand step 2. Is the
following
correct.
Suppose my wiki (vs 1.9) is in
/var/www/wiki
- I rename it to say wiki-1.9
- I unpack mediawiki-1.16 in /var/www/ rename it to
wiki (change user and group),
- copy LocalSettings.php from wiki-1.9 into wiki (and
also the image and extension directory)
- I run maintenance/update.php is using the browser.
Is this correct?
Thanks
