Christopher,
Quick question. My hosting provider, who I have been
happy with for
too many years, supports PHP5, but it's not the default. In order
to invoke 5 I have to use a .php5 extension. Does this seem like
it's going to be doable? Will I have to modify a lot of files or
just a few? I'll muddle and find my own answers, but figured this
will be quicker.
I think that all you need is simply renaming index.php to index.php5
and setting $wgScriptPath or something like that :)
MediaWiki has single 'entrance point', all other files are loaded by
mediawiki, and should already use php5.
Of course, you might want to rename config/index.php to config/
index.php5 too.
