That sounds like a plan; however I have never done a real upgrade but did a full new installation for 1.5.0 after having run trials with 1.4.x. I have found (again) the installation instructions, but no upgrade instructions. The zipped download does not include instructions either which are understandable for an idiot like yours truly, so if anyone can point me to he help page for upgrading 1.5.x I would very much appreciate this.

Step one is to upgrade to 1.5.7 since 1.5.0 contains a number of security vulnerabilities and major bugs.

I run a Wiki on MW1.50 at http://www.detroitinfo.de/wiki and still have trouble with the search function. ItŽs working smoothly for the first time, but after revisiting the wiki in the next session I only get crap returns such as "H*ere are 0* results, beginning with mit #*368282*." After deleting the detroitinfo.de cookie, everythingŽs back ok for one session. This happens with Opera, IE and Firefox. Since this is rather user-dissatisfying, any help is greatly
appreciated.
This is from the UPGRADE file from the 1.5.7 distribution:
Basically, to upgrade a wiki you: * Back up your data! (See Backups! below) * Extract the new archive. If you can do this in a clean directory that's great, but it should work to extract over the old files too. This may be easier if you have images etc in place and don't want to move them around, but remember to back up first! * Run the installer to upgrade the database schema (if necessary).
Good Luck!
