This help page describes the upgrade procedure from Semantic MediaWiki 3.2.x to Semantic MediaWiki 4.0.x with native Composer support.
Step 1 - Backup database and wiki[edit]
Backup your wiki database and wiki installation.
Step 2 - Update setup file[edit]
Change to the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell and modify the "composer.local.json" file to look like this2:
{
"require": {
"mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki": "~4.0.0"
}
}
Step 3 - Update software[edit]
Run the composer command34 from the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell to upgrade the source code of Semantic MediaWiki and dependencies:
php composer.phar update --no-dev
Step 4 - Invoke Semantic MediaWiki[edit]
wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticMediaWiki' ); to LocalSettings.php !Until SMW 3.2.x only enableSemantics( 'example.org' ); was used to invoke SMW.
This means that you need to add the following lines to the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:
wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticMediaWiki' );
enableSemantics( 'example.org' );
Note that "example.org" should be replaced by your wiki's domain.
Step 5 - Update database[edit]
Run maintenance script "update.php" (MediaWiki.org) from the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell to apply the schema changes to your wiki's database:
php maintenance/update.php
Or alternatively use maintenance script "setupStore.php"Allows to set up the data backend/store:
php extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/setupStore.php
Done![edit]
Semantic MediaWiki and the database use should now be upgraded properly. The wiki may now be used again.
