Thread:Project:Support desk/Upgrade (2)/reply

Hi!

You can find the MediaWiki version on your server in the file includes/DefaultSettings.php. It should be a variable assigned somewhere in the first 50 lines or so.

Here are the archives: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/ The complete source code always is in the files which only have a ".tar.gz" in the file name. E.g. this is what such a link looks like: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-1.21.1.tar.gz

The newest releases from MediaWiki 1.19 or MediaWiki 1.21 are the recommended versions currently. Both work with PHP 5.3. MediaWiki 1.19 has long term support for a few years (I guess), MediaWiki 1.21 is the newest branch released just a few days ago. Instructions for upgrading are here Manual:Upgrading.

Good luck!
