Thread:Project:Support desk/Best way to migrate (1.14 - 1.21) to a new server and new version at the same time?

Hi,

we use MediaWiki on IIS6.0 windows server, PHP 5.2.0 and MySQL 5.0.45. We have a 500 page wiki, just text, 200 users.

What is the best way to migrate to a new server: we would like to set up a new IIS 7.0 windows server, MediaWiki 1.21. What PHP do you recommend? What MySQL do you recommend?

Plan: install new server, install new MediaWiki with new php and mysql. Export pages from old MediaWiki, import pages to new MediaWiki. Is it possible? Recommended? We don't need page history, we don't even need discussion pages. we don't even need users, but would like to import/export them if possible.

Thanks for the advice...
