Thread:Project:Support desk/How to Upgrade MediaWiki 1.12 to 1.24/reply (18)

Hi Due to major version change between XAMPP 1.5.5 and XAMPP 5.6.3, I guess upgrading the XAMPP would be problematic as XAMPP 1.5.5 contains MySQL 5.0.27, XAMPP 5.6.3 contains MySQL 5.6.24.

Is it possible if I create fresh installation of XAMPP (latest version) and install MediaWiki 1.24 and then export MediaWiki 1.12 databases and import them again in the new XAMPP environment. Anybody has any idea if I do this way or if there is any better solution.
