100 MediaWiki 1.32 requires PHP 5.5.9 or later. Although HHVM 3.18.5 or later is
101 supported, it is generally advised to use PHP 5.5.9 or later for long term
104 MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
105 but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
106 Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
108 The supported versions are:
110 * MySQL 5.5.8 or later
111 * PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
112 * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
113 * Oracle 9.0.1 or later
114 * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
117 1.32 has several database changes since 1.31, and will not work without schema
118 updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
119 table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
120 many hours on a large site).
122 Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
124 See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
125 important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
