Setup: On Local System

In /{retiredWiki}

  1. Edit LocalSettings.php:
    • $wgScriptPath = "/{retiredWiki}"
    • $wgArticlePath = "/{retiredWiki}/$1"
    • Comment out Google analytics in LJ skin. (Leave its variables alone.)
  2. Rename robots.txt_ALLOW to robots.txt to disable robots.

In /{newWiki}

  1. Edit LocalSettings.php:
    • $wgScriptPath = "/{newWiki}"
    • $wgArticlePath = "/{newWiki}/$1"
    • Uncomment Google analytics in LJ skin. (Leave its variables alone.)
  2. Rename robots.txt to robots.txt_ALLOW to enable search robots.
  1. In /apache_config:
  2. Edit mediawiki.conf_new
  3. 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

In FileZilla, {newWiki}

  1. Upload LocalSettings.php
  2. Delete robots.txt
  3. Upload robots.txt_ALLOW to enable search robots.

In FileZilla, {retiredWiki}/

  1. Upload LocalSettings.php
  2. Delete robots.txt_ALLOW
  3. Uploadrobots.txt to disable robots.

In PuTTY or the SSH shell, load the new settings:

  1. pushd /usr/share/mediawiki/apache_conf
  2. ./try

The script does a restart. Ignore the error that says "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name".

Test the new server and the old:

  • If all is not well, use ./revert to restore the old settings
  • If all is well, make backup of mediawiki.conf_new.
  • Wait a day
