Hi Dale, 

Have you seen this upgrade walkthrough? 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.14
You will probably need to do 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_to_1.14#Alternative_2:_Re-run_the_installer
 

You definitely want to make a backup of your database and uploads (I might even 
suggest of your whole code base so you can revert if necessary).  But other 
than that it should work.  I've heard the MediaWiki devs mention that they 
would like to know about any snags you run into because they want to make it a 
painless as is reasonable for people to upgrade.

Good luck,
-Courtney

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] upgrade advice and help

It might help this wiki if I upgrade it. I am having a lot of spam problems.
I did read the notes on upgrade and I am not all that clear on it. Here is
the installed and running wiki
http://aim.alienearmusic.com/aimw/index.php/Main_Page . It has been up for a
few years and I think I upgraded once before.
Right now it's info is :
MediaWiki: 1.5beta3
PHP: 5.2.5 (apache)
MySQL: 5.0.67-community

My questions are :
1. What steps do I need to do to upgrade it to the current version?
2. I understand I need to backup the files and database, that I will do via
my hosting panels for it. Other than that, what do I need to do to prep it
for upgrade?

note I do not have shell access to the server, so I need to upgrade via web
interface
