We want to put it on a virtual server, which I imagine is fine. I doubt I could upgrade in one go - but how many steps does it take? And what are they. There appears to be backups made as follows /usr/local/bin/mysqldump -u backup yadda yadda tar -zcf /backups/mediawiki-current.tar.gz mediawiki I have worked with other wiki's but not MediaWiki particular. It looks like there are rpms's for redhat - could I use that or do I have to use the tar ball. I don;t really care - I know how to compile - I just want to best chance of success. Much appreciate any pointers. BG _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
