ngungo@56degrees.com, is attempting to upgrade his media wiki, here are his commands, in order.

in brief

  1. Backup the database (in case something goes wrong installing)
  2. Unrar the new mediawiki version into its own new folder
  3. Redirect (symlink) trafic (from the old wiki folder) to that new folder
  4. chmod the new wiki folder's /config directory to 777 (everyone can do everything with it)
  5. Point your browser to the wiki's index.php or config/index.php
  6. Fill out that install form
  7. Move the generated localsettings.php in /config up one directory
  8. chmod the /config directory back to non-readable, writable, or executable
  9. Replace the /images directory with the old /images
  10. Restart apache.
