my concern on running the install again, I am not sure I remember all the details on the install ... I did review the Local settings file to get the info I needed to open the databases. Perhaps that is what I should do, print out the local settings file, have in hand and follow those steps.
Thanks, I will update the list here when I do this, I have some backups to do. ;-) I did run error check and optimize the tables while I was in the databases. ;-) dale ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christensen, Courtney" <[email protected]> > 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 > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dale (Inquisitor Betrayer) > It might help this wiki if I upgrade it.
