== Get and Extract Mediawiki == | |||
A la the Mediawiki manual: | |||
$ cd /home/geos/geos5.org | |||
$ wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.29/mediawiki-1.29.0.tar.gz | |||
$ tar -xvzf mediawiki-1.29.0.tar.gz | |||
$ rm mediawiki-1.29.0.tar.gz | |||
Now we will work in the <tt>mediawiki-1.29.0/</tt> directory until we are ready to swap it for <tt>wiki/</tt>. | |||
== Copy Over Needed Files == | |||
$ cd mediawiki-1.29.0 | |||
=== LocalSettings.php === | |||
$ cp ../wiki/LocalSettings.php . | |||
=== images/ === | |||
$ cp -rp ../wiki/images/* images/ | |||
=== skins/ === | |||
For this, first do a diff, if the skins directories have the same folders, just accept the new ones. Mediawiki often fiddles with skin handling and you need to use 1.29 skins for 1.29. Luckily, GEOS-5 has little to no skin adaptation. | |||
=== extensions/ === | |||
Mainly, you want to copy over any directories that are in the old install but not in the new install. Anything in both, assume the newer is better. | |||
==== SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi ==== | |||
This one is a bit tricky. There is currently a bug in <tt>extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.class.php</tt> that we need to fix. It's essentially undoing a workaround they say fixes a bug...but the workaround causes a bug for us! | |||
Once you are done with the upgrade, look at, say, [[Recipe: python program reads cubed-sphere data]] and make sure the highlighting is there! | |||
