If it's the same version of mediawiki you can always try dumping the
database directly and importing it into mysql on the new server. I'm not sure but you
might have to create the exact file structure as well....
Thanks.
I am aware of that solution & in fact it is my preferred method for
moving a wiki. However; the reason the mediawiki is slow is a totally
messed up MySql database system, & I don't know how to fix it. I tried
for over a year, as the wiki has thousands of pages/articles. Therefore
I don't want to move the table structure for this db into the new,
properly functioning wiki.
Anything else, maybe.
