Short story: there was a long standing inconsistency between the storage format of wiki pages and storage of the history of wiki pages.

Other changes | |
If you are upgrading from 6.x LTS to 9.0 there are some changes that may mean you have to do some reconfiguration. Module management: this has changed significantly from version 7 onwards with a more flexible drag and drop method available from the Admin Modules page. Whilst most normal configurations with standard themes will be automatically converted, if you have some more complex arrangements or are using a customised theme you will have to do some reconfiguration - more details can be found here Update your .htaccess file: if you use a standard linux/apache server then it is important that you update your .htaccess file to the latest version since a number of important redirects have been introduced to cope with changes to the system. To update this file, copy the _htaccess file (located in the main directory of your Tiki installation) to .htaccess, overwriting the latter - making sure of course that you add in any customisations of your own that you may have done.

Tiki requires a minimum of 128M PHP memory. This is the default memory_limit in a standard PHP 5.3 installation. If you configure a lower value, you will continually face issues with pages failing to load and system errors. See Requirements for additional installation requirements. |
