We finally got a new Linux based server (running on VMware) to migrate our current v1.6 wiki for our company knowledge-base to. [...] Does anybody have suggestions for the migration procedure? Or can anybody point me to a wiki page(s) where I can find the info I'm looking for?
Hello Toshi,
This is a major upgrade. Make sure to back up your files and database before starting. You can try upgrading directly from 1.6 to 1.15, but this has a good chance of failing. Consider upgrading in several steps (eg, 1.6 to 1.8 to 1.10, etc). Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about MediaWiki versions can suggest the minimum safe version steps.
