title: Bring old MediaWiki back online
body: <p>Ive been recently tasked with updating an older media wiki (about 6 years ago) i know the version of ubuntu, mediawiki, php, and MySQL when the version was last running. I have access to the sql dump from the wiki archive. I have never worked with media wiki before and i really confused on how to start. I have basic technology knowledge but i dont understand how to even run the last working version of the wiki let alone update the site. If anyone is able to give me a quick overview of what i will need to do to just start that would be super helpful. I've viewed the page <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading</a> on manual updating and it looks like there may be steps to complete before even looking into that page.</p>
