== Structure of mediawiki folders == | |||
* in the web root, there are a number of mediawiki versions. For non-major updates (1.22.x to 1.23.x) the databases are generally compatable. So if an update goes wrong, change the mediawiki symlink back to the older version. | |||
* 3rd party extensions are not stored in mediawiki/extensions like the docs suggest, but instead as a neighbor to the mediawiki folder. | |||
* LocalSettings.php is also a neighbor, and is symlinked into each mediawiki folder. | |||
* Any item in the cache folder is considered expired if it is older than the modified time of the LocalSettings.php file. <code>sudo touch LocalSettings.php<code> to expire the cache. | |||
