2.1 | 1 | To move an existing XWiki instance to a different server and upgrade it, do the two operations one after the other rather than together: |
| |
1.1 | 2 | |
| |
2.1 | 3 | 1. Install on the new server the same XWiki version as the one running on the old server. |
| 4 | 1. Move the database and the [[permanent data>>Documentation.AdminGuide.Backup||anchor="HBackupPermanentData"]] (the /##data## directory) to the new server. | ||
| |
1.1 | 5 | 1. Start the instance on the new server. |
| |
2.1 | 6 | 1. Check that the content and the features work as they did on the old server. |
| 7 | 1. [[Upgrade the instance>>documentation.xs.admin.upgrade.WebHome]] on the new server. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | The wiki then runs the new version on the new server, and any problem you met along the way belongs to one of the two operations rather than to both at once. |
