Thread:Project:Support desk/Upgrading MediaWiki in MoWeS Portable?/reply (11)

I think so... but it's really quite weird. I tried installing it, but MoWeS sorta half recognizes it, and only under certain conditions. The webpage MoWeS opens when it starts the server makes a list of software running, and another for installed packages. It still insists the only installed package is version 4.2.9.

Here's where it gets weirder... The new ImageMagick installed to a folder called "ImageMagick-6.8.0-Q16", and MoWeS can't recognize this folder, and just doesn't see it. Renaming it to simply "ImageMagick" result in that MoWeS summary page displaying a message that version 6.8.0 is installed and works... yet the package listed is still only 4.2.9.

MoWeS seems pretty glitchy on the subject, so perhaps it's better to judge functionality by how it actually works in the wiki, and ignore what the MoWeS thing says. That took some guesswork and modifying my LocalSettings.php file a little. First, an explosion of errors regarding a bad path (despite correcting the paths) in thumbnail renders... but renaming the "ImageMagick" folder to "ImageMagick-6.8.0-Q16" again, and altering the path callouts in the LocalSettings.php file (to what it was looking for), cleaned up all the errors. For the first time ever, my wiki supports SVGs!

But it's still a bit buggy. Two of my test SVGs are strangely missing their colors... which I'll take to a more relevant thread for that topic.

Still don't know how to update the MediaWiki software though...
