How did you backup/restore the database?

Hi John, I backed up my database and the entire wiki folder. I didn't re-download MediaWiki this time. I directly loaded the backup database into the new server, and moved the entire wiki folder. I don't think the PHP versions on both servers are exactly the same. PHP on the new server is 7.4 while on the old one maybe 7.0 or similar. Thanks! Catherine

How are you doing the backup/restore? did you backup your database and re-download mediawiki? are the versions of PHP the same on both servers?
