Procedure.svg Upgrade a wiki
Organic Design procedure

Shell in and change to the wiki's directory in /var/www/wikis.

Put the site down for maintenance by adding $wgSiteDown = true; to it's LocalSettings.php file.

Update wiki symlink to point to the new code-base.

Upgrading a wiki to a more recent version involves running the update.php maintenance script. Make sure that you have created an AdminSettings.php first.

For information on how to do this, see Run a wiki maintenance script
