Thanks for your input, Arthur.
I created the new instance of Mediawiki with the exact same details as the previous instance, so the LocalSettings.php doesn't need to be changed. Same DB name, user, etc. All I did was install Mediawiki and use phpMyAdmin to import/replace the previous data over the default data.
I've also tried moving the MySQL \data files over and it still doesn't seem to think there's any data in the database. Still seems like a caching issue of some sort to me.
Regards, Will

Have you replaced/created the localsetting.php file and deleted the config folder?

Hi there. I have a data issue that I hope someone can help me with:
I have a .SQL dump from an instance of the Mediawiki DB (newest version) that I'm trying to restore to a new instance.
However, even after importing/replacing all existing data, the front page still shows the new installation page, link structure, etc.
Does Mediawiki cache data somewhere that I need to purge? What's going on here? When I view the database after the import with phpMyAdmin, I can see the data in the text indices and whatnot so I know the data was actually imported..
I tried running the rebuildAll.php script in the /maintenance folder but that didn't do anything.
Any assistance provided would be appreciated.
