Upgrade Mediawiki websiteBRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete:
72 hrs
Mentors: Sean
A portion of the BRL-CAD website runs on Mediawiki, but it's out of date. Migrating to newer versions will require incrementally updating the website database per Mediawiki's upgrade instructions along with all of our extensions. Access to a copy of our webserver files will be provided. Experience working on a command-line is a must, ideally with prior Mediawiki experience if you hope to complete this within a couple hours. This task involves getting the Mediawiki portion of our website cleanly migrated to the latest version of Mediawiki. All installed extensions should also be updated. References: |

I would like to work on this task.
This task has been assigned to Edward J.. You have 72 hours to complete this task, good luck!
Edward, join our irc channel and we'll get you set up with an account on the web server.
Cheers!
Hey there, how can I receive the website's administration information? Thanks,
Nevermind, thanks
Hey, can I get the IRC link? Thanks,
http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC
Let me know if you get stuck. ;)
Great, thanks, I'm on there now! :)
Hey there again, would it be possible to send me the login information to edwardjiang7@gmail.com ? I can't seem to find anyone on the IRC. Thanks,
Not really. This is a production server with dozens of sites and a hundred other users. We have to go over some basic usage rules beforehand along with getting your account set up.
When you join IRC, you have to ask a specific question and wait on the channel for the response. Sometimes that response can be within seconds or hours, but someone will respond if you are still there.
Join again and ask to speak with 'brlcad' about getting set up for this task, I'll see your message and respond. Usually within an hour.

I would like to point out that this task will also need an upgrade to MySQL 5+, like Gallery and probably Drupal.

One of the mentors has sent this task back for more work. Talk to the mentor(s) assigned to this task to satisfy the requirements needed to complete this task, submit your work again and mark the task as complete once you re-submit your work.
You apparently broke the main wiki. Do you recall what you did?
I fixed the problems by restoring from backup. Go ahead and submit the task again as completed.

I'm not sure what I did. I was careful to only read from the main server, but I must have pressed the wrong button/command.
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
