Mediawiki upgrade on Strato webspace to allow use of PHP version newer than 5.3 -


i trying upgrade different older mediawiki versions (1.19, 1.21) more recent versions since strato no longer support php version 5.3.

those mediawiki installations have been installed using strato app wizard, install mediawiki 1.23.14.

i aware of following information:

a.) strato description on updates of apps (only in german, there no description on updates of mediawiki)

https://www.strato.de/faq/article/2193/so-nehmen-sie-ein-manuelles-update-ihrer-appwizard-anwendung-vor.html

b.) mediawiki update guide

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/manual:upgrading

c.) compatibility table between different mediawiki , php versions (since current need migrate newer php version still supported starto)

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/compatibility/de#php

does anyboy have experience mediawiki upgrades @ strato? there easier way upgrade, e.g. using app wizard?

in mediawiki directory, edit .htaccess. responsible php-version in wiki. can change contents of file this:

addtype application/x-httpd-php71 .php .php4 .php3 .php5 .php71 

next, upgrade mediawiki version, download , copy newest mediawiki-xyz.tar.gz temp directory on strato (i used filezilla that)

assuming new mediawiki version 1.29 , mediawiki directory @ strato mediawiki-01:

establish ssh-connection strato (i used putty) , execute @ command-line

tar xzf temp/mediawiki-1.29.1.tar.gz -c mediawiki-01/ --strip-components=1 

then update new installation:

cd mediawiki-01/maintenance php update.php 

i successful today described method, no promises or warranties. , making backups before upgrading idea.
