Thanks Benjamin for the link. Based on what I understood from this manual page, it is assumed the upgrade procedure happens on the server that the existing Mediawiki+database reside. Is this implying there is no way to set up a new version of Mediawiki on a new server machine and, somehow, convert the existing, or backed-up, database (including imagefiles) to fits into the new environment off-line and inject it into the new machine/environment?
In other words, in our case, we need to install V1.6 and all database (or duplicate the current environment) into the new server first, then from there, we can upgrade Mediawiki based on the procedure written in the manual page. Am I right, or misunderstanding something?
Thanks,
Toshi
