You don't really need an intermediate step. You could install php 5.3+ somewhere along with a copy of your site using one of the stable MediaWiki releases and do the upgrade.
All you need is a dump of the database, any custom stuff (your images/ folder, LocalSettings, custom additions), an up to date copy of MediaWiki, and an updated set of extensions you're using. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/] On 2015-02-17 4:42 PM, Holger wrote: > Dear list, > > I'm running mw 1.16 under php 5.2 und would like and should upgrade mw > as well as php to actual versions. > > What would be the best / most safe way to achieve this? > > My idea is to upgrade to 1.17 because there will be the fewest changes > to 1.16 und it runs as well with php > 5.2.
