Download and Installation

Download and install the plugin using the Plugin Manager using the URL given above. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Usage

This plugin adds a new option to your admin interface called “Wiki Upgrade”. Follow the wizard and upgrade your wiki to the most current stable release of DokuWiki in just a few steps.

Note: this plugin needs write access to all your DokuWiki files, not only files inside data. If you installed DokuWiki through the DokuWiki Installer, permission should be fine already. Don't worry though. The plugin will check for needed permissions before doing the real upgrade process.

This plugin was only tested in upgrading from “Lemming” upwards. It might work for upgrading older versions as well.

:!: Creating a backup (see FAQ - Backup) of your wiki before upgrading is highly recommended. It's NOT done by the plugin. :!:

Q & A

Usable on systems without internet access?

The plugin downloads new releases directly from the github.com repository. Therefore it needs direct access to the internet.

Any PHP requirements?

Make sure that PHP was compiled with php_openssl enabled.

I moved some folders out of the Webroot, is that a problem?

The upgrade plugin does currently not support installations where the conf directory was moved from the default location.

If you moved the data directory, the plugin will recreate a data directory at the default location. That directory can be safely deleted afterwards. You may need to create any new subfolder inside your data directory manually after the upgrade.
