I am trying to upload the english Wikipedia xml dump from 20051105 xml. I have Mysql 5, Wikimedia 1.6 phase 3, and a mac with osx 10.3.

I started the loading process six days ago using importDump.php and the process list shows me that php, bz, and mysql are still working. However, when I go into Mysql the row counts of the tables do not go up. For example, the user table has one row, and the text table has approx. 3500 rows. If I call show processes in Mysql, then I can see that queries are running (admin tells me that approx 200 queries/second are executed) but they seem not to be executed.

My questions: is it normal to take six days to upload the Wikipedia dump? is it normal that the row count does not go up?

If not, I would highly appreciated any help. Unfortunately I cannot use mwdumper, because OSX 10.3 only allows java 1.4 and with java 1.4 I get exception errors.

Thank you!
