I concur with those who mention the difficulty of upgrading. I'm running MW 1.26.0 in a single-click installation on AWS.
Other products I use -- including open source -- have a graceful and online update process. MW is built by developers for developers. I'm not a developer and every time I upgrade I'm scared. It's a fraught exercise. I have a few things that don't work, and I have no idea why. For example, file uploads stopped working somewhere along the way but I don't know when exactly. I didn't change file permissions; although I've fiddled with them endlessly since. I suspect it's something in the base AWS stack, but what? [Permissions seem to be an area of discussion with different falvours of Linux.] I would like to install Parsoid (why isn't it in the base install?) but nobody can offer insight into how to install it at docroot when you only have docroot access. I hired a Linux pro to help with that one and he threw his hands up. [Installation is easy, but how do you start it up automatically?] Why is the mobile frontend an add-on and not the default? It's 2015... Quite a few extensions have gone to a DevOps approach of continuous development and release, but how do I know when to update them? There is no online notifiction. All of these and more point to the legacy and Dev nature of MW. David On 05/12/2015 7:00 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Re: What PHP version do you use?
