This help page describes the upgrade procedure from Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.x to Semantic MediaWiki 3.1.x with native Composer support.
- Note that this help page assumes that you use MediaWiki 1.31.0 to 1.33.x. See also the help page on compatibility.
- Since SMW 2.5.x is not compatible with 1.31.0 to 1.33.x you must either upgrade to SMW 3.0.x to SMW 3.1.x (preferred).
Step 1 - Backup database and wiki[edit]
Backup your wiki database and wiki installation.
Step 2 - Update setup file[edit]
Change to the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell and modify the "composer.local.json" file to look like this2:
{
"require": {
"mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki": "~3.1.0"
}
}
Step 3 - Update software[edit]
Run the composer command34 from the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell to upgrade the source code of Semantic MediaWiki and dependencies:
php composer.phar update --no-dev
Step 4 - Invoke Semantic MediaWiki[edit]
Add the following line to the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:
enableSemantics( 'example.org' );
Note that "example.org" should be replaced by your wiki's domain.
Step 5 - Update database[edit]
Run maintenance script "update.php" (MediaWiki.org) from the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell to apply the schema changes to your wiki's database:
php maintenance/update.php
Or alternatively use maintenance script "setupStore.php"Allows to set up the data backend/store:
php extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/setupStore.php -v
Step 6 - Update database cont.[edit]
If you see the upgrade information error message on your wiki's pages run maintenance script "populateHashField.php"Allows to do mass populating of database field "smw_hash" when initially upgrading to Semantic MediaWiki 3.0.1 and later from the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell to apply further changes to your wiki's database:
php extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/populateHashField.php -v
Step 7 - Rebuild data[edit]
Run maintenance script "rebuildData.php"Allows to rebuild all the semantic data for a selected data backend/store from the base directory of your wiki1 in your server's shell to rebuild the semantic data in wiki's database:
php extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildData.php -v --with-maintenance-log
Step 8 - Update configuration[edit]
Go to the "Deprecation notices" tab on special page "SemanticMediaWiki"Provides functions for wiki administrators that assist in doing their administration work and update your wiki's "LocalSettings.php" file according to the information provided on that page.
Done![edit]
Semantic MediaWiki and the database use should now be upgraded properly. The wiki may now be used again.
