Hello.
Basically the question I have is standard, but having read the doc I still have some questions.
I have a running mediawiki server on SUSE Linux 9.0 and want to setup a new SUSE Linux 10.0 server (on the same machine)
the old server runs mysql 12.21-4.0.15 (I don't really understand why there are so many numers), php 4.3.3 and mediawiki 1.5.8
the new one runs mysql 14.7-4.1.13, & php 4.4 & hopefully mediawiki 1.6.3
the first try failed with a wikiuser passwd problem. but it was made quite roughly, as a test, so no more on this.
Maybe you hit the same snag as me, on suse 10.0 the mysql root user seems to have an empty (no?) passwort. So put in "root" and "" as password and it should work.
for the good proceding, may I install all the new things and try to import the backed-up database, or may I first import the backup to a mediawiki 1.5.8 install and upgrade mediawiki afterward?
I think install 1.6.3 and then import the db, then run "maintaiance/upgrade.php". But I am not sure.
Best wishes,
