Thread:Project:Support desk/Migrate from mediawiki 1.16.0 to 1.23.2/reply (3)

The solution is simple:

The first steps you did were right:


 * 1) Export the whole database of old hoster (mediawiki 1.16.0)
 * 2) Drop all tables of new hoster´s database (mediawiki 1.23.2)
 * 3) Import the export database
 * 4) If you would now open the wiki in the browser this error would appear: "A database query error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software."
 * 5) Then: Run the update script as described on Upgrade
 * 6) Afterwards, if you are using extensions, you have to update these extensions and you should be done.
