You can simply copy the database (using mysqldump for example) to a different database schema, create a copy of your /wiki/ directory and point the copy of your LocalSettings.php to the DB clone. At wikipedia, we're installing new patches several times per day to the production servers and most of the time, users don't notice it. jens |
