How are you exporting and importing the database? In the past I've
successfully used "mysqldump" to export and then import directly via the
command line "mysql" with a wiki database that exceeds 10GB. The commands
to do this are basically:
mysqldump --opt -u user -p wikidb > file.sql
mysql -u user -p newwikidb < file.sql
There are lots of resources explaining/detailing the commands if you need
more information. Also remember to copy the image directory to the new
wiki.

I have a large site that I've been developing on

want to move the entire site to a secure hosted server off-site. I want
to know what is the best way to do this. I DO NOT want to use the same
tables that are in my current wiki, as there are/seem to be some issues
with the table being corrupted. The site runs, but is VERY slow, & I'm
certain it's not the computer its on. I likely screwed up the tables
when I upgraded the mediawiki. In the past Ive just exported the
database to the new / upgraded wiki. several times, that has worked
fine. But, I want only the actual page content to be exported. I did
that & it generated a 256.5 mb xml file. That does not upload, using the
import function. Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks
