Hello,
I have to move my wiki installation several times a year and it's always a laborious, time-consuming admin task. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Moving_a_wiki
I was wondering if there were any plans to make it easier? Would it be possible to develop a script or admin functionality to automate the task - saying breaking it into just two steps: "Export entire wiki" and "Import wiki". It would backup/restore the database, copy any additional files LocalSettings, (uploaded images etc), ...
Another problem I encounter is that one platform has an older version of mediawiki and the new platform has a newer version - but to move the wiki there's no way around installing two versions on one of the servers. Am I missing something?
Z. PS Thanks to all the contributors for the great software - it's really top quality! _________________________________________________________________ Want to be a Space Travel Agent? If it exists, you'll find it on SEEK http://clk.atdmt.com/NMN/go/157639089/direct/01/
