JAN 2012

  • Migrated existing site to new hosting platform (VPS). Backed up all existing files & DB information to local workstation & re-created site manually on new hosting server. NUMEROUS bugs exist due to transfer including several compatibility issues with updated versions of MYSQL & PHP.

    • Updated LocalSettings.php server side, which will allow me to (in the future) expose it to the wiki (users) without cause for security alarms. Should Be backend only.

    • Converted Extension InputBox to actually use the new version (due to a case sensitivity issue).
    • Removed backend code for the now obsolete NewUserLog extension.
    • Removed backend code for the (long disabled) Google Custom Search Engine Extension.
    • Upgrade UserPageEditProtection to r63339 which is the "development" version of this extension, but claims to also have been tested for MediaWiki 1.14.x and to work fine.
