Okay, I haven't gotten to update my Wiki yet, needed major amounts of sleep lol. After seeing a few errors by others, and noticed these have been basically squashed now..

I was just wondering for sure, what'd be the easiest way for me to upgrade mine? I've the upgrade instructions MediaWiki's wiki site there, but still a bit confused.. Last time, I had finally gotten into the SSH or whatever, using PUTTY..

Made my way to the example: wiki.mydomain.net location, and tried a command line, but rather then it going over the files in the root, it placed a folder in there called: phase3 .. =/

Now, just to be sure, what command line should I use on the subdomain name.. to upgrade mine right? I've just backed up my MediaWiki here, database, files and such of course..

Also, when doing this upgrade stuff, I'm correct to assume, all those page changes I made before.. (customizing of the "login / create account" links and so forth) will be overwritten right? And I'll have to reapply these changes again... or? Just was wondering lol.. Thanks in advanced. :)

An XSS injection vulnerability was located in the AJAX support module, affecting MediaWiki 1.6.x and up when the optional setting $wgUseAjax is enabled.

There is no danger in the default configuration, with $wgUseAjax off.

If you are using an extension based on the optional Ajax module, either disable it or upgrade to a version containing the fix:

• 1.9: fixed in 1.9.0rc2
• 1.8: fixed in 1.8.3
• 1.7: fixed in 1.7.2
• 1.6: fixed in 1.6.9
