[Moin-user] Upgrading from 1.5.7 to 1.8.0 and moving to a new machine

[David Cramer]

Thanks! Yes, late December is a quiet period wrt wiki traffic, so it
will be easy to keep an eye out for any edits that happen during the
migration.

	Hey David, 
	I think the steps you outlined sounds reasonable.  The only
concern (which I'm sure you have covered) is to make sure that no one
edits the wiki on machine 1 (so your pages get out of sync).

	No, you don't need to worry about upgrading from 1.5.7 to 1.5.9
first.

	-Rick

		Hi there, 
		I have a moinmoin wiki installation with three wiki
instances on machine #1 at version 1.5.7. I have a new machine, machine
#2. I want to move the wikis to the new machine and in the process,
upgrade them to 1.8.0. 
		
		Here's what I'm contemplating doing: 
		
		1. Install 1.6.4 on machine #2. 
		2. Copy my wiki data dirs to machine #2 and run
migration scripts on them. Make adjustments to config files until I have
a working wiki. This seems similar to
http://moinmo.in/ThomasWaldmann/AnotherWayToMigrateFrom1.5To1.6 
		3. Do a normal upgrade to 1.7.3 on machine #2 
		4. Do a normal upgrade to 1.8.0 on machine #2 
		
		Is this a sensible approach? Given my situation, is
there another way that would be better? I like the idea of leaving my
old install intact until the new one is working, then directing traffic
to the new one.  
		
		Another question, do I need to upgrade from 1.5.7 to
1.5.9 before I upgrade to 1.6.4 or can I go directly from 1.5.7 to
1.6.4? 

		Thanks, 
		David
