Good morning all,
my apologies for a stupid but probably easy to answer question.
I currently run MediaWiki 1.5.0; I seem to understand that I could not
even do a direct upgrade to 1.10.1 but would have to make intermediate
upgrades.
However, I would like to move from a directory in my domain to a
subdomain anyways so I thought I could skip the intermediate steps by
doing the following:
- Full backup of the current Wiki
- Disconnect of the current Wiki to the MySQL database
- New installation of MediaWiki 1.10.1 at the subdomain (with all the
necessary steps such as generating folders etc.), referencing my MySQL
database
- Upload the MySql database dump (made with mysqldumper) if necessary
I´d appreciate any hint if I have a substantial error in this plan.
Thanks so much, best regards
Chris

It is perfectly possible to upgrade from 1.5 to 1.10.1 - MediaWiki has
been designed with that in mind and it can easily be upgraded from any
version to any other version.
With regards to switching to a subdomain, there should be very little
difficulties with that as all that is necessary is to move the files
to the directory for that subdomain. MediaWiki will require no extra
configuration unless you have made unlikely modifications to your
LocalSettings.php file.
