I’m in the process of upgrading my MediaWiki installs. It really makes you appreciate how simple it is to upgrade phpBB. I don’t think I have ever come across a script which is as quick and easy to upgrade as phpBB is. It’s great just upload the new files from your changed files download which has a package for everyone, then run the updator and delete the install directory. Then you’re done.
MediaWiki is way more complex. To upgrade it at the moment I have to do a fresh install of the script then connect it to the database and update the schema, then upgrade the encoding used in the database and even in the official documentation it didn’t work for them.
I really need a push on getting all my scripts up to date I think. I’m not sure what to do about WordPress though, I’m not a fan of version 2. There are a number of other scripts I need to get upgraded as well and I’ll be checking my list to see what I need to do when I have my wikis sorted.
Don't have time to check my blog? Get a weekly email with all the new posts. This is my personal blog, so obviously it is 100% spam free.
