    • Upgrading tiki from a very old version

    Posted by Dante Argishti posts: 2 United States

    I was told that our company's tiki was installed more than 10-12 years ago. I do have an admin access to it via the web interface. I would appreciate if someone can answer or give hints on the following questions:
    - How to find out what version of tiki is currently installed?
    - When we do an upgrade, will the system automatically upgrade the other components too, like PHP or MySql?
    - We have some content already in our tiki. Would it be better just to get a fresh install of the latest tiki, and then import the data to it? If so, how to do it?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello Dante,

    How to find out what version of tiki is currently installed?
    Depending of your version there different place to look... once logged as admin, try tiki-check.php and see if something comes up.

    No.

    We have some content already in our tiki. Would it be better just to get a fresh install of the latest tiki, and then import the data to it? If so, how to do it?
    This depend of the content and the amount of data... For a few wiki page just do a copy paste, if it is something else. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Hi Bernard,
    Thank you for your prompt reply. I get "The requested URL tiki-check.php was not found on this server." So, no luck on that for now.
