Hello,
What i am using at the moment: -- At the moment i am using an old Debian Server which hosts our local MediaWiki-Farm. So basicly just several wikis. This wiki is based on Debian's apt sources -> old release -> 1.7
Target: -- Switch those wikis to a new Ubuntu-Server with a current MediaWiki build from scratch. I guess the main advantage is having a up-to-date release and several functions 1.7 was limited in.
Unfortunaly i am not really sure how-to handle this switch/update/upgrade. i.e. I assume the MySQL tables have changed
So what is the best way to move this old 1.7 based wiki-content to a new server with the current release ? Is there a public documentation for such updates ? Any additional links or similar you can recommend ?
Best regards Florian

Your best bet is to either upgrade to 1.11.0 and then migrate, or migrate to the same version on the new server and then upgrade.

The MediaWiki software ships with an UPGRADE file, which contains upgrade documentation; it also refers to our now-traditional upgrade guide, the latest version of which can be found at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_MediaWiki.
