Upgrading from 2.1.3

[jwocky]

Hi i'm upgrading from version 2.1.3 to the latest version, can I go straight from 2.1.3 to the latest one or do I have to upgrade step wise through all the various versions in between?

Any special tips? This is my first time upgrading vaultwiki

thanks!

You can download the latest ZIP and run the upgrade.php included, as mentioned in the Install/Upgrade instructions here. That will run a step-wise upgrade through each version.

We have tested this from 1.0.0 to 2.3.1 with no problems, but that was using an almost empty database. I strongly recommend backing up your database just in case.

Ok upgrade is complete but I ran into a few issues

1 I got this error during the actual upgrade process -->

Warning: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/vault/install/upgrade_231.php on line 76

Regardless, the upgrade seemed to work and the system is working.

I do have an error (I think javascript error) on running of the actual showiki.php

I get this -->

Line: 1001
Error: 'section_holders' is undefined
Code: 0

Not sure wht this is.

On the top of the wiki the options list no longer displays in table, its just a bullet list of options

- article
- discussion
- Edit
- history
- protect
- move
- Delete
- watch

just like that, its a bit visually distracting and ugly. Do you know what template I can edit that to make it back into a nice visually streamlined tab format?

Thank you so much for any help

Ok I figured out #2 and #3, it was due to me using an old customized style and the new version needs the new style templates to work properly, so no problems there!

Great. I looked into #1 and the fact that the error occurred means that you didn't even need that step. I'm pretty sure it occurs for upgrades that started prior to 2.2.3 and had no articles in a namespace, but had some entries preventing certain titles from being used there.
