[pmwiki-users] Migrating a PM Wiki - what to bear in mind

.htaccess in the wiki 'root' folder might need to be checked for paths too.

For php version required, check the Requirements in the pmwiki docs

If it was me doing this (and the previous wiki was not v.1.x), I 
would download the latest pmwiki, make it work, then copy in the 
wikilib.d and wiki.d, test it, then add one at a time and test and fix:
* local/config.php, disable skinning, add any required recipes
* other group and page local/ config files
* any skins and enable skinning

That is also a good way of understanding the current configuration.

Hope that helps.
