Hello Folks, I got a private Mediawiki 1.4 from 2005 which still runs on a Debian 5 machine. I'm about to virtualize this because of various reasons but the first problem I ran into just after trying to move it to a clean Wheezy install is that it's incompatible with:
ii php5 5.4.4-14+deb7u14 all server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage) Of course the solution what I found online was to upgrade your mediawiki because it have so many advantages blahblah. Really? New features I do not need, and although I went through with the upgrade it become 20xtimes slower + I lost the custom skin I had. This all seems disadvantages to me. So correct me if I'm wrong but by just doing some research this version with (1-2 extensions like poem) has no know serious security vulnerability (RFI). What I don't want to do is to install another outdated debian just because of this, I rather downgrade the php version to (5.2). Can anyone come up with any advantage of upgrading Mediawiki from 1.4 to 1.23? Question2: Storage Engine ========================= Since this is a small (~3000 pages) private wiki which doesn't get a lot of articles added every day, mostly just used for searching and reading articles which storage engine is the faster MyISAM or Innodb? I do not care about reliability, only speed since the db is backed up every day and as I said it's rarely gets new content.
