And I can not figure out how to direct the web to access my old names. I have copied my tables to the new names strucutre. This seems to be a bad idea, as there is also a version difference between the 2. I am not a php guro, but where in the script does it start to mention to which table to connect? I have looked all over in icnludes, setup, maintenance , can't find anything. Would love to hear your advise.

Alternatively, depending on how much system access godaddy.com let you have, it may be easier just to import your database dump into a clean database, and move your wiki folder directly into your new system (updating database information etc as required). Upgrading is still a pretty good idea, though... Richard
