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.

That depends on whether your 30 wikis are using one codebase (a shared directory with MediaWiki code) or each one has it's own directory. In the first case it would not be possible to upgrade one-by-one "just like that", but it would still be possible with the use of symlinks, for example. One thing to note is that, during an upgrade, you DO NOT run the normal installation process. There is no need for that. Instead, you switch to the newer codebase, and then run update.php (found in the maintenance subdir) for each of your wikis. Hope that helps. Good luck! -- Lucas 'TOR' Garczewski Wikia Tech Team

Hello,

...

You update by replacing the old files with the new ones, then running

the script at maintenance/update.php Does that mean that I can simply copy the contents of new "mediawiki-1.15.2" directory to the original "mediawiki-1.11.0 directory? (Retaining the LocalSettings.php & AdminSettings.php from the 1.11.0 version). Or can I delete the old wiki dir & copy the new dir?

...

So to update you should just surround it with a "foreach wiki..."

I would like to upgrade them individually, rather than scripting them all.

...

Good prectises advise making a db backup before updating.

mysqldump -u name_admin -p namewiki > namewik-Back.txt To my knowledge the wiki's are not sharing the files, but how could I determine that? Thanks once a again! -Graham- ----------------- Platonides wrote:

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). _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

This part of the update.php log is just a notice, and can be ignored. PHP_AUTH_USER isn't defined because no one is authenticating. You don't need authentication from the commandline though.

- There isn't a FCKeditor.php file in the root dir; can it simply be copied from and existing wiki on the server?

Comment out the FCKeditor extension from LocalSettings.php, and then try again. Re-add it when you are done.

Hello, Thanks very much, that worked! Unfortunately, when I try to access the wiki I get a permissions error; that I will determine where the permissions need to be granted again, since the upgrade. Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. When I try "apachectl graceful" , I get this error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- apachectl: Configuration syntax error, will not run "graceful": httpd: Syntax error on line 209 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 180 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/wiki-ssl.conf: Could not open configuration file /appl/web/devwiki/etc/devwiki.conf: No such file or directory Lines in question: line 209 in httpd.conf is: Include conf.d/*.conf Line 180 of wiki-ssl.conf is: SSLOptions +StdEnvVars /appl/web/devwiki/etc/devwiki.conf (doesn't exist) Thanks, Graham Huib Laurens wrote:

Graham, Maybe you should comment all the extensions out of Localsettings.php and re-add them when you are done. Huib 2010/4/5, Tolliver <tolliver(a)dal.ca>ca>:

You have a number of extensions installed like: require_once("extensions/extensioname/extensioname.php"); That works when you are at the wiki root, but not from maintenance dir. Change those lines to: require_once("$IP/extensions/extensioname/extensioname.php"); and all should be fine.
