Import the dump into MySQL if you haven't already. Tweak your mysql config to point to the database with the dump. Then run maintenance/update.php to fix any version differences in the schema.

Dear All

I had a wiki running on an Ubuntu-Linux server. Mediawiki was installed using the Ubuntu software package manager. After an update from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10, the wiki was not not accessible anymore, the browser said "Not Found / The requested URL /mediawiki was not found on this server.”. I guess the fix might have been trivial, but I did not know where to look, and I got so impatient that I decided to re-install. I mad a mySQL dump of the wiki database (and renamed the database so that it would not get in the way). Then I removed the Mediawiki software using the Ubuntu package manager. Then I installed mediawiki 1.22 following the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu . Now I have a new, empty wiki that is accessible from the web browser.

Question: how do I get the content from my old wiki back?
