HaskellWiki Interruption for Upgrade
I will be upgrading HaskellWiki to the latest stable version of MediaWiki (1.13.3) over the next few hours. The plan is this: 1. Switch off HaskellWiki. This may involve switching off the Apache server running haskell.org. 2. Dump the database to a file. 3. Download MediaWiki 1.13.3. 4. Run its upgrade process. 5. Install useful extensions. I'm currently looking at this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam 6. Tweak config file. 7. Switch everything back on. 8. Post again here. -- Ashley Yakeley

I will also need up upgrade both PHP and MySQL. -- Ashley Yakeley

Apache has been switched off. -- Ashley Yakeley
I have given up attempting to upgrade HaskellWiki, and resumed the site's previous normal operation. I wrote:

It turns out it would be hard to upgrade MySQL, as various things depend on the old version: $ sudo rpm -U MySQL-server-community-5.1.30-0.rhel3.i386.rpm warning: MySQL-server-community-5.1.30-0.rhel3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 error: Failed dependencies: libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) mod_auth_mysql-20030510-2.ent libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-4.EL3 libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) php-mysql-4.3.2-48.ent I don't know what mod_auth_mysql and perl-DBD-MySQL are being used for, so I don't believe I can upgrade them safely. The machine is running RHEL AS 3 update 9 with Linux 2.4.21. -- Ashley Yakeley
