WikiIndex:2013-2014 bugs and upgrades: Difference between revisions

::::::: Arcane, do you think it is ok to just test out 1.20.5?  (if that is what you are suggesting?  and test it out with WikiIndex data?  sorry, not so knowledgable!!)  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

::::::::If you have a XML/SQL dump of the data, I could easily setup a test wiki with the same extensions and a database dump and see if anything breaks. In fact, you could do the same thing yourself by setting up a second wiki install and using a spare copy of the data from the WikiIndex database on a localhost wiki (offline, I recommend using XAMPP). You may have to reimport your Main Page and sidebar settings if you do this, but it's easy to do. Alternatively, another option you can do is to make a copy of EVERYTHING in your mysql/data folder and your MediaWiki install (I'd save it to a portable drive, backup hard drive, and so on, in a compressed file format if possible, also make sure the database is not being used during this time, which means taking the site down for maintenance), then install a new version of MediaWiki over your old one. At best, everything will work fine and you can proceed as normal (you may need to upgrade some extensions), and at worst, just flush your mediawiki folder and the mysql/data folder and replace them with your saved versions, and it will be exactly as it was before, minus any alterations to the new wiki database.  [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 21:42, 30 April 2013 (PDT)Arcane
