Pre Upgrade List[edit | edit source]

Steps taken in upgrate to 1.9.2[edit | edit source]

  1. Tested the latest domian backup by untaring it to a test directory. Everything looked okay. Deleted the test directory. Renamed today's domain and database backups to be different than the pre-update backup.
  2. cd ~/appropedia.org
  3. mkdir ~/appropedia.org/preserve
  4. cp LocalSettings.php ~/appropedia.org/preserve/LocalSettings.php
  5. Run backup scripts for domain and database
    • cd ~/backups
    • ./appropedia.sh
    • ./mysql.sh
  6. cd ~/
  7. wget http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.9/mediawiki-1.9.2.tar.gz
  8. gunzip -c mediawiki-1.9.2.tar.gz | tar -xf -
  9. cd mediawiki-1.9.2
  10. mv AdminSettings.sample AdminSettings.php
  11. vi AdminSettings.php
    Correct these lines
    • $wgDBadminuser = '*******';
    • $wgDBadminpassword = '*********';
  12. cp -R * ~/appropedia.org/
  13. cd ~/appropedia.org
  14. Check version number to confirm successful recursive copy (cp -R *)
    • vi RELEASE-NOTES
  15. /usr/local/php5/bin/php ~/appropedia.org/maintenance/update.php
  16. rm -r preserve

That should be it.
