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

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.
Regards,
Will
