Hello,
Thanks to everyone for all of your assistance, but I hope this is my last question:
Does anyone know what could be causing the following errors when I run ./update.php:
./update.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory ./update.php: line 2: require_once: command not found ./update.php: line 3: /appl: is a directory ./update.php: line 4: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 5: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 6: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 7: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 8: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 9: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 10: addwiki.php: command not found ./update.php: line 11: archives/: is a directory ./update.php: line 13: /appl: is a directory ./update.php: line 14: =: command not found ./update.php: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./update.php: line 15: `$options = array( 'quick', 'nopurge' );'
Thanks, Graham

Hello,
Excuse me if my question sounds like a newbie, but I still am; I inherited the Wiki Server some months ago. I am preparing to upgrade MediaWiki 1.11.0 to 1.15.2, and we currently have 30 wiki?s.
My understanding is, I can upgrade each wiki individually. Having said that, can I perform the install process of the new version, replace the old wiki?s with the new install individually? Hence not having any databases being affected except for the wiki I upgrade.
I trust that this question is in keeping with this forum.
Thanks, Graham
Install process? You may be taking a wrong approach. You update by replacing the old files with the new ones, then running the script at maintenance/update.php Only the database of that wiki is affected.
So to update you should just surround it with a "foreach wiki..." Good prectises advise making a db backup before updating.
If the wikis are sharing the files, it may be a bit harder, since you would need to break the links for updating individually (or update all dbs one after other at the same time).

Hello listmates,
I have a MediaWiki 1.8.2 installation that needs to be modernized... How realistic - how difficult - should I expect the procedure of taking it up to 1.15 to be?
Thanks.
Boris.

It should be completely painless. First make a backup of your wiki database (just in case!). Then copy the extracted 1.15.2 files over your current installation. Finally run 'maintenance/update.php' from your command line.
If you don't have a command line on the server you're using, you can also try re-running the installer. Copy LocalSettings.php to somewhere safe, run the installer like normal, then copy your old LocalSettings back.
