Hopefully it will only be for about an hour in the morning while the database is upgraded (new versions of MediaWiki require upgraded database tables). I have all the preliminary work done I think: - MediaWiki 1.13.3 is installed on the server (but not configured) - the latest versions of the extensions we use are already in place - the math component has been re-compiled To-do on the day: - make Wiki Read-Only - upgrade the database tables - move the images to a common location and symlink (so images don't need to be moved in a future upgrade, only symlinked) - edit the LocalSettings.php file and add in all the customizations we have (should all be documented on the Wiki maintenance Wiki pages) - turn it back on, and cross our collective fingers :-) C. -- Clayton Cornell [email protected] StarOffice - Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Hamburg, Germany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
