Test the new wiki:

# Click a link
#* Ensure that the page displays
#* Ensure that the link is correct
 
Repeat the same steps to test the retired wiki.
 
If all is not well, use <tt>./revert</tt> to restore the old Apache configuration settings. (You shouldn't need to undo changes to LocalSettings.php, but be prepared to do so, just in case.)

Setup: On Local System

In /{retiredWiki}

  1. Edit LocalSettings.php:
    • $wgScriptPath = "/{retiredWiki}"
    • $wgArticlePath = "/{retiredWiki}/$1"
    • Comment out this line to enable search robots on article pages:
    $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    ==>
    #$wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    • Comment out Google analytics in rally360 skin. (Leave its variables alone.)

In /{newWiki}

  1. Edit LocalSettings.php:
    • $wgScriptPath = "/{newWiki}"
    • $wgArticlePath = "/{newWiki}/$1"
    • Uncomment this line to disable search robots on article pages:
    #$wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    ==>
    $wgNamespaceRobotPolicies = array( NS_MAIN => 'index,follow' );
    • Uncomment Google analytics in rally360 skin. (Leave its variables alone.)

In /apache_config:

  1. Edit mediawiki.conf_new
  2. Change the "wiki" alias to point to the new release:
    Alias /wiki /user/share/mediawiki/{newWiki}

Setup: On the Server

  1. Start VPN
  2. Login as root using PuTTY or SSHshell

Deploy

Do these steps as close to simultaneously as possible:

In FileZilla, apache_config

  1. Get the current configuration file, just in case someone else modified it
    ./get_conf
  2. Save the current settings:
    cp mediawiki.conf mediawiki.conf_sav
  3. Upload mediawiki.conf_new
  4. In FileZilla
    • Upload {newWiki}/LocalSettings.php
    • Upload {retiredWiki}/LocalSettings.php
  5. In PuTTY or the SSH shell, load the new settings:
    • pushd /usr/share/mediawiki/apache_conf
    • ./try
    The script does a restart. Ignore the error that says
    "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name".

Finally, Test the Wiki
