MW_WMF_CLONE Upgrade

Possible approaches after upgrading the MW_WMF_CLONE

checkout a LTS-branch and copy these sources to WIKI_SOURCE_LTS
export by git archive <tag-or-branch-or-tree-ish> to WIKI_SOURCE_LTS

Upgrade wmf-git-clone

##↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
cd "${git_mw_core_source_dir}"; 
  sudo git pull;
  git branch -r | sort --version-sort # list branches
  git tag -l | sort --version-sort # list tags
cd "${git_mw_extension_source_dir}";
  sudo git pull; sudo git submodule update --init --recursive;
  git branch -r | sort --version-sort # list branches
  git tag -l | sort --version-sort # list tags
##↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

Checkout a branch

may be skipped, because later a branched or tagged archive will be exported and no copy-and-paste of a checkout

##↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
# STEP checkout git clone to git_branch for the subsequent export?
#
cd "${git_mw_core_source_dir}"
  # git branch -r | sort --version-sort # list branches
  # git tag -l | sort --version-sort # list tags
  if [ "$do_not_install_but_show_dry_run" == "" ]; then
    sudo -u root -g mwadmin git checkout -b $git_branch $git_tag
  fi
  printf "\e[47mgit clone in '\e[42m%s\e[47m' is checkout to branch: '%s' tag: '%s'\e[0m\n"  "${git_mw_core_source_dir}" "$git_branch" "$git_tag"
cd "${git_mw_extension_source_dir}" 
  # git branch -r | sort --version-sort # list branches
  # git tag -l | sort --version-sort # list tags
  # extensions seem to have no tags
  if [ "$do_not_install_but_show_dry_run" == "" ]; then
    sudo -u root -g mwadmin git checkout -b $git_branch
  fi
  printf "\e[47mgit clone in '\e[42m%s\e[47m' is checkout to branch: '%s' (extensions seem to have no global tags)\e[0m\n" "${git_mw_extension_source_dir}" "$git_branch"
# end checkout of git clone in git_mw_basedir
##↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑

MW_WMF_CLONE → WIKI_SOURCE_LTS

Create a MediaWiki versioned source (the source of a LTS-version)
Create extension sources, extract Git extensions to WIKI_SOURCE_LTS
- biowikifarm extensions
- no further developed extension still necessary fro biowikifarm
- Git extensions from MW_WMF_CLONE

Extract the right branch or tag of an extension from MW_WMF_CLONE for this WIKI_SOURCE_LTS. Note, the list of EXTENSIONS may not be complete but it seems unnecessary to extract all 663 extensions shipped with the wmf git clone.

Install composer extensions

These extensions must be dealt with at level WEB_WIKI. Documentation

Extensions you want to remove you must do it with composer

##↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

(Re)Move old Git extensions

The problem is, that extensions managed by git must be removed in favour of composer management. Composer installs also dependencies so take care also of dependent extensions documented by extension developers, e.g. SemanticMaps in composer will also install extension Maps. The following script just renames old extension folders to make room for the composer managed extensions. In case of SemanticMaps it’s only necessary to do …

sudo php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar require mediawiki/semantic-maps '3.1.3'

… but you must take care of the extension folder Maps (if present) manually.

Settings for LocalSettings.php

Set correct rights

sudo chmod 664 "${web_wiki_base_dir}/LocalSettings.php" # rw-rw-r--
sudo chown root:mwadmin "${web_wiki_base_dir}/LocalSettings.php"

There are alternative approaches:

use web installer of the new Wiki
- NGINX configuration must be done
- correct rights for writing of the www-data user
- see Manual:Shared database → Upgrading
use command line installer in maintenance/install.php
- ?does it try to override a LocalSettings.php?
- it seems to need an Admin User to be defined (problem with shared user tables?)
- see Manual:Shared database → Upgrading. ?make use of command line option --doshared?
copy old database template (database z_en_template in https://biowikifarm.net/phpmyadmin_v3-3-7/) and adjust it as well as settings for LocalSettings.php
- see in MediaWikiCommonSettings.php (some settings there might interfere with MW 1.23 due to software changes)
- see other files of LocalSettings.php

To get it work with composer add the following somewhere in LocalSettings.php:

if (is_readable("$IP/vendor/autoload.php")) require( "$IP/vendor/autoload.php");

Nginx Configuration

See also Nginx Installation and Configuration. Tips:

location in nginx path must match $wgScriptPath $wgArticlePath
http://blog.bigdinosaur.org/mediawiki-on-nginx/

General architecture

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf - basic settings
└→ include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/* - actual sites configured ready for production
   * default file - for common settings of that server the no-URL-resolving redirects back to
┌→ * configuration files for each server
│ (linked)
/etc/nginx/sites-available/* - potentially available sites files for each server

Installation Issues, Problems, Transition form Older Wikis

RELEASE-NOTES: read/check file mw-source/RELEASE-NOTES-X.XX, changes are described there, class changes, core changes and deprecated functions
composer management: problem is that composer extensions are handled on the level WEB_WIKI by composer not by require_once("…")
Extension:Cite becomes extension CiteThisPage (MW 1.24+)
Extension:ContacPage has special installation (MW1.23+) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContactPage#Installation
Extension:ExpandTemplates is now in MW1.23+ core, separate installation is no longer necessary (~~require_once("…")~~)
Extension:TitleKey seems not necessary to have case insensitive drop-down-list search
Extension:GlobalUsage has no more class names with underscore. Adjust configuration of $wgLBFactoryConf in LocalSettings.php see also http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=db.php
Extension:Vector is in core MW 1.22+, separate installation is no longer necessary (~~require_once("…")~~)

Dependencies:

Extension:TimedMediaHandler dependent on Extension:MwEmbedSupport
biowikifarm Extension:MobileKeyV1, Extension:MobileKeyV2 are dependent on Extension:TemplateParameterIndex
Extension:BetaFeatures is a light dependency of Extension:MultimediaViewer

Composer extensions see above

Installation Problems

A user_password_expires column has been added to the user table

/usr/share/mediawiki23/maintenance/archives/patch-user_password_expire.sql
# MYSQL-patch see release notes: ALTER TABLE user ADD COLUMN user_password_expires varbinary(14) DEFAULT NULL; -- done so far for biowikifarm

location in nginx path must match $wgScriptPath $wgArticlePath
load.php gave internal server error 500
debug on: nothing conclusive

nginx logs: PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot override final method SMW\ResultPrinter::getResult() in /var/www/v-infoflora/d/extensions/SemanticResultFormats/formats/Exhibit/SRF_Exhibit.php on line 468
$srfgFormats[] = 'exhibit'. in SemanticResultFormats v2.0 causes fatal error, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59760
Google Maps API Key neccessary?
<gallery> needs a new setting in $wgGalleryOptions for 'mode' otherwise MWException
'mode' => 'traditional', // One of "traditional", "nolines", "packed", "packed-hover", "packed-overlay"
