Yes, please *do* read the section about upgrading in INSTALL. I paste the main part of its text below, just in case you cannot find INSTALL ;-) Also, please do not try to delete your old SQLStore2 yet (a bug has been discovered there today; the script won't accept the parameter that specifies the store, so it only let's you delete the store you currently use). This will be re-enabled before the release. Markus === SMW 1.8 introduces a new default database layout (SMWSQLStore3). You can continue to use the old layout (SMWSQLStore2) for transition purposes, but it is strongly recommended to migrate to the new layout for future compatibility. To use the old layout at first, add $smwgDefaultStore = 'SMWSQLStore2'; to your LocalSettings.php. If you are using $smwgDefaultStore = 'SMWSparqlStore'; already, then you should keep this line and add the following: SMWSparqlStore::$baseStoreClass = 'SMWSQLStore2'; (after enableSemantics). After setting these, run SMW_setup.php or Special:SMWAdmin upgrade as usual. The wiki should now work as normal, but using the old storage structures. To migrate to the new store, you can do a normal "full refresh" for the new store. Run the following two commands (both will run a while). php SMW_refreshData.php -v -b SMWSQLStore3 -fp php SMW_refreshData.php -v -b SMWSQLStore3 The running wiki will not be affected by this, but the operation could affect server speed. See http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Repairing_SMW%27s_data for details. After successful migration, remove the lines with 'SMWSQLStore2' from your LocalSettings.php to use the new store. You can always return to the old store in case of problems. If the old store is no longer needed, it can be deleted (and its memory freed) by running ...
