--- Comment #14 from Thomas Dukleth <[email protected]> --- There is much to report about MediaWiki encoding data for MySQL in binary form even in current versions of MediaWiki to compensate for the historic lack of proper UTF8 support in MySQL. I have some half started reports from weeks ago about how I needed to build a Debian old version time machine to create the MediaWiki binary tables properly for the version of MediaWiki from which we are upgrading. I will try to finish those reports when I am more awake. Meanwhile, I have been pressing on with automating the whole process and I should report something before falling asleep again. The following is the successful output from a script which I wrote to manage the steps of database migration with a friendly configuration file, much error checking, etc. There are still a few elements to add such as the initial pgrestore step and reading the configuration file from the Python script which does the data migration as distinct from the Perl script which manages most of the steps preparing for data migration and checks the results. "If you have reached this point without errors and you subsequently confirm that no errors or warnings have been logged, then the Koha MediaWiki database should have been successfully migrated.If you have reached this point without errors and you subsequently confirm that no errors or warnings have been logged, then the Koha MediaWiki database should have been successfully migrated. Remember that before any use MediaWiki and installed extensions must be migrated to a version supported by your PHP version andand MySQL version. Remember that before any use, MediaWiki and installed extensions must be upgraded to a version supported by your current PHP and MySQL versions." Depending on how awake I am later, I will test upgrading the test installation of MediaWiki and extensions to their current versions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
