I tried to upgrade a couple Wiki's from 1.10 to 1.11.1 but it didn't go
exactly how it says... I'm not sure the database changes
were made.
How can I be sure?
I was doing these steps from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading
==============================
Alternative 2: Re-run the installer
An alternative to running the update script from the shell is to re-run the
web installer. To do this:
1. Rename LocalSettings.php to LocalSettings.old.php
2. Make the config directory writable by the web server
3. Make sure the database user has full rights to the database
4. Browse to the wiki and start the installer
Fill in the form fields with the same values as was done during the previous
version's installation. When the installation process
starts, the script will detect existing MediaWiki tables, and upgrade their
schema. When this is complete, a new LocalSettings.php
will be generated.
1. Delete the new configuration file
2. Rename LocalSettings.old.php back to LocalSettings.php
3. Restore permissions on the config directory
==============================
The issue is that I never saw it run through the installer.. there were no
form fields. It just created the new LocalSettings.php
file and it seemed to know all the right settings somehow without me telling
it.
Anyway, it seems to be working fine and OK, I just want to verify the
"schema" was actually upgraded. Any suggestions or clue I
should look for in phpMyAdmin to made sure the database tables were
upgraded?
Thanks!
