Question: If I'm leaving one Mediawiki installation and setting up
another (this is not an in-place upgrade) how do I keep my pages?
Answer:
on the old install:
mysqldump -u root -p wikidb > wikidb.sql
on the new install:
mysql -u username -p
create database wikidb;
grant create, select, insert, update, delete, lock tables on wikidb
mysql -u username -h sqldb-hostname -p wikidb < wikidb.sql
--------
Question: Does anyone know how to restore a MySQL database that was
created on a web hosting provider and deleted about a year ago with no
backups made of it?
