Thread:Project:Support desk/Upgrade/migrate MediaWiki 1.12.0 to another server

Hello.

We want to both update & migrate (not necessarily in that order) our company's wiki. It is currently on CentOS 5.5, MediaWiki 1.12.0, PHP 5.1.6 (apache2handler), MySQL 5.0.77. We want to decommission that box and move the wiki to SLES 11 and to version 1.19+ - which requires PHP 5.2.3+. We are unsure of the proper order of steps since 1.12.0 doesn't necessarily support PHP 5.2.3 (as seen in the chart at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility). Unfortunately since it is an internal wiki with no connection to the outside world I can't provide a URL to it. Any tips or words of advice as to how you would go about this move?

Thank you & Happy Holidays!
