Thread:Project:Support desk/How to upgrade my viki?/reply

Hi!

Upgrading MediaWiki usually is not hard. :-) However, especially when you are not experienced in these things, please make absolutely sure that you have a working backup of your site (files and database)!

Amongst other things it will be important that you check, which PHP and MySQL version you use and which are available on your server - the MediaWiki version you can use depends on the PHP and MySQL versions you have.

The rest is explained on the page Upgrade, which we wrote in the hope that it is also understandable for non-tech people. :-)

If you have any questions, you can ask here!
