[Mediawiki-l] On hands help with backup, new installation, and restore

[Ekompute .info]

Hi Steve, just a couple of weeks ago, I was still having a tremendous phobia
to upgrade my wiki from Version 1.10 to 1.14. Couldn't work all the time but
fortunately, I was trying it on my new webhost and therefore my original
website was unharmed.

Took a dressing-down from Michael Daly to get me on my way. This is now
history. Actually, it is very easy, but it took me months to do it. Once you
know it, it is very, very easy.

You will always need to upgrade your wiki, so it is good to learn it and do
it yourself. Didn't take me more than 15 minutes for a 1,000-odd article
wiki. What is your exact problem? Hopefully I can help, and you can save
your money.
