upgrading MediaWiki


 * upgrading MediaWiki

Overview
Much like installing MediaWiki, upgrading MediaWiki is generally pretty easy, and follows much the same process. The installation script checks to see if there is already a MediaWiki database at the location you specify, and will upgrade it rather than installing a new one if it detects it.

Of course, it is always highly recommended to back up your database and existing files before doing anything; that way if you get stuck, you have a working version to revert to.
