Thread:Project:Support desk/Easy way to upgrade from version 1.8 to 2.1?/reply (14)

OK, these are the steps I did.

And then

It does not appear to have transferred any of the content. I cannot see any of the many, many pages present in the old mediawiki.

All I get is the primitive start page, after I set up the new mediawiki. I have tried reloading. No pages. I am at my wits end.

Why is there no clear and easy means of updating this product? 14 updates or one, it should just work.
