Hi,

I found some information on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_move_a_MediaWiki_Database regarding dumping and restoring the sql database. The dump seems to work fine. However, when I try to restore the database, I receive the error, ERROR 1050 at line 11: Table 'archive' already exists

bash-2.05b$ mysqldump -u root -p wikidb > /tmp/wikidb.sql

Enter password:

bash-2.05b$ ls -la /tmp/wikidb.sql

-rw-r--r-- 1 wikiuser wikiuser 377369 Oct 6 13:34 /tmp/wikidb.sql

bash-2.05b$ mysql -u root -p wikidb < /tmp/wikidb.sql

Enter password:

ERROR 1050 at line 11: Table 'archive' already exists

bash-2.05b$

How can I restore the database? Also, are there any other files which should be backed up?

Thanks,

Chuck Bishop
