Hello, Thanks for your help. Regarding the message below, I'm new to SQL, which mySQL commands to I type into phpMyadmin to upload data to the cur tables?

For example, if my db dump is called "123_cur.sql" what do I type in to add my data?

(also, how do I inc. my max packet size?)

Thanks! Jim

I installed MEdiaWiki 1.2.6 yesterday without problems.

I also downloaded a few db dumps from the wikipedia site. (for example:20040620_cur_table.sql)

How do i install the data into my Wiki for testing using phpMyadmin?

phpmyadmin has an option for uploading a file of sql commands. This might work, however be aware that the amount of data is very large; you might or might not be able to use that on the large dump files.

You may also need to increase the max packet size in your mysqld configuration.
