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)
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)
