Thanks! There is already a small MW page set on the server we're transferring to. Is it possible to simply import the contents of the dump into that database? Name clashes between old pages and the newer pages are not a problem, the two sites use disjoint names.

No problem with keeping the old server running, the intent is to modify some pages so we can then move them back over very quickly by copying and pasting. The new server is just internal to the company.

Thanks, Ken

• Make a database-dump (e.g. with mysqldumper)
• install DB and MW-Software on the new machine, change the login of DB and

server-directorys in localsettings.php; dont forget to copy individuell skins and images-folders from your old server.

And keep your old machine running until new new works fine!
