My apologies for lack of information.
Im running MediaWiki 1.5.5 (At this stage, im hesitant to upgrade as the hardware im using is a bit flaky and is due for replacement).
I've google searched and looked through Mediawiki's website for a solution to this, but cant seem to find one. I'd like to be able to fix this without having to re-input the data, however, if someone is able to give any clues as how I could get into the backend and get the information direct out of the database, I could re-create it semi
manually.
You're still missing a lot of essential information, such as:
* Operating system - Linux (I'm unable to tell you any more then that, because that's all I know) * MySQL version - 4.0.25-standard * PHP version - 4.4.1 * the exact procedure you used to backup and restore <- very important! - phpMyAdmin Export * whether you've checked MySQL logs <- very important - Unable, host doesn't allow it * whether you've looked up documentation on mysql.com for how to check for and repair damaged tables <- extremely important - Checked for damaged tables prior to creating export * whether you've checked web server or PHP debug logs - Unable, host doesn't allow it * whether you've looked up documentation on php.net for how to enable logging
