Hello, I believe that I have MediaWiki 1.12 but need to confirm this. If the page is broken, how can I verify the version?
Since I upgraded to PHP53, the MediaWiki no longer works. Is there an easy fix for this? I need v53 for other aps that I am running. I know I need to get my version upgraded and will need to know where the archive for the older version of MediaWiki is located and any instructions for upgrading too. Thanks for the help.
Hi!
You can find the MediaWiki version on your server in the file includes/DefaultSettings.php. It should be a variable assigned somewhere in the first 50 lines or so.
Here are the archives: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/ The complete source code always is in the files which only have a "<version-number>.tar.gz" in the file name. E.g. this is what such a link looks like: http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.21/mediawiki-1.21.1.tar.gz
The newest releases from MediaWiki 1.19 or MediaWiki 1.21 are the recommended versions currently. Both work with PHP 5.3. MediaWiki 1.19 has long term support for a few years (I guess), MediaWiki 1.21 is the newest branch released just a few days ago. Instructions for upgrading are here Manual:Upgrading.
Good luck!
