This help page describes the upgrade procedure from Semantic MediaWiki 1.8.x to Semantic MediaWiki 1.9.x with native Composer support.
- Note that this help page assumes that you use MediaWiki 1.19.0 to 1.23.x. See also the help page on compatibility.
- Once you have upgraded to Semantic MediaWiki 1.9.x you can continue to upgrade as explained in the relevant help pages.
Step 1 - Backup database and wiki[edit]
Backup your wiki database and wiki installation.
Step 2 - Delete old software[edit]
Delete the directories SemanticMediaWiki/
and Validator/
from the …/extensions/
directory.
Step 3 - Update configuration file[edit]
Remove the formerly required invocations of "Semantic MediaWiki" and "Validator" from the "LocalSettings.php" file, i.e. the following two lines:
require_once "$IP/extensions/Validator/Validator.php";
require_once "$IP/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki.php";
Step 3 - Re-install new software[edit]
Re-install Semantic MediaWiki as described on the applicable page.
Note: This involves several steps.
Done![edit]
Semantic MediaWiki and the database use should now be upgraded properly. The wiki may now be used again.
