No where would I? It has been sorted though. I simply clicked on edit and there was all the info, once I saved it, it was fine. I would still love to know how/why.
Thanks

Hi all I'm new to this list so please point me in the right direction should I have posted this here incorrectly.
I have a mediawiki instance running on a RHES8 server and I am trying
to
migrate it to Debian Sarge. I have followed numerous docs to the T and got quite far my problem however is this: when I dump my wikidb to a .sql file and then recreate the new wikidb the standard main page: http://somehost/index.php/Main_Page end is still the normal page and
not
the one I have on my original wiki site on RHES8. However when
clicking
the "Random page" link I get back all the original info that was on my old wiki.
So my question is how, do I tell my wiki where to get the main page
info
from.
Have you checked the history of [[Main Page]]? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

By clicking the "history" tab, just like with any other article.

Probably a caching issue: you probably viewed the main page just after you installed the new wiki, and the rendered version got cached; then, when you imported the other version directly into the database, the software didn't know to clear this cache. Consequently, the old version was loaded from the cache until you forced it to be purged [the simplest way of doing this, by the way, is to use the parameter "action=purge" in the URL].
