Upgrading MediaWiki - shawfdong/hyades GitHub Wiki

Back up MySQL database:

# cd /tmp
# mysqldump wikidb > wikidb.sql

Visit http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading and download the latest release of MediaWiki:

# wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.25/mediawiki-1.25.3.tar.gz

Visit http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/MobileFrontend and download the tarball for the MobileFrontend extension:

# wget https://extdist.wmflabs.org/dist/extensions/MobileFrontend-REL1_25-c193468.tar.gz \
    -O MobileFrontend.tar.gz

Unpack the MediaWiki tarball:

# tar xvzf mediawiki-1.25.3.tar.gz -C /var/www/ssl/
# cd /var/www/ssl
# mv hyades ../hyades-1.25.2
# mv mediawiki-1.25.3 hyades

Unpack the MobileFrontend tarball:

# tar xvzf /tmp/MobileFrontend.tar.gz -C /var/www/ssl/hyades/extensions/

Copy local settings and images:

# cp ../hyades-1.25.2/LocalSettings.php hyades/
# cp -a ../hyades-1.25.2/images hyades/

Fix the permissions (Note that php-fpm runs as user = apache & group = apache – see /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf):

# chown -R dong:dong hyades/
# chown -R apache:apache hyades/cache/
# chown dong:dong hyades/cache/.htaccess
# chown -R apache:apache hyades/images/
# chown dong:dong hyades/images/.htaccess

Run the update script:

# cd /var/www/ssl/hyades
# php maintenance/update.php

Voila! Done.
