Hi,
We are using our wiki site with the following software versions. We are planning to move our MySql version to MySql 8 or latest and am not sure this is supported for Mediawiki and if there's any underlying configuration changes needed from Wiki to connect to MySql. Please help me with some insights.
| Product | Version |
|---|---|
| MediaWiki | 1.26.4 |
| PHP | 5.6.14 (cgi-fcgi) |
| MySQL | 5.6.25-log |
You should update your wiki after (or before) you update your DB. The current LTS is 1.31.
Thanks Mark for your reply,
We have one query - Can we keep Mediawiki in same version post upgrade DB ?
Bawolff says you can, but you should know we don't support MediaWiki that old. See the lifecycle documentation.
You can look at the INSTALL file included with mediawiki for version requirements. MediaWiki 1.26.4 will definitely work with mysql 8, requiring only 5.0.3 or higher
