Hi,

I have a local mediawiki installation and I'm trying to import the Nov 2016 en-wikipedia into it (enwiki-20161101-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz)

I'm using importDump.php, but the commands I try cause it to immediately fall over with an error message. When I do:

$ php importDump.php < ~/data/wikifork/enwiki-20161101-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2 I get:

PHP Warning: XMLReader::read(): uploadsource://405216067937ad302ddd05631e3ee446:1: parser error : Document is empty in /home/phil/sproj/wikifork/mediawiki/includes/import/WikiImporter.php on line 538

And when I do:

$ php importDump.php --conf ../LocalSettings.php ~/data/wikifork/enwiki-20161101-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2 my_wiki

I get:

PHP Warning: XMLReader::read(): uploadsource://cd1f7162d36eda06a29d64becaf0b825:45: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document in /home/phil/sproj/wikifork/mediawiki/includes/import/WikiImporter.php on line 512

Done!

You might want to run rebuildrecentchanges.php to regenerate RecentChanges

I'm puzzled that I'm getting different error messages here.

Am I going down the wrong track entirely and need to use mwdumper?
