Hi
I did the following steps to test the mediawiki backup
and restore process. But I cannot fully restored the
mediawiki, some template lost and some articles lost
too.
The steps I did are as following,
1. I dump the database.
mysqldump -u root -p --single-transaction chpwikidb >
backup.sql
2. Then I ftp the backup.sql in the BINARY mode from
server A to server B
3. Create a database with the same name 'chpwikidb' on
server B.
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter root password: ****
mysql> create database chpwikidb;
mysql> use chpwikidb;
4. Import 'chpwikidb' from A on B by executing the
dumped sql script, make sure it is located in the
current directory.
mysql> source backup.sql;
5. Install MediaWiki as usual, but change the
database's name from the default 'wikidb' to
'chpwikidb' MediaWiki will detect there is a
pre-existing database and try to upgrade it when
necessary.
Also, the language setting MUST be the same as the
original one!!
But Finally, the new mediawiki I restored on server B
does not have all the info of the mediawiki on Server
A
Would you pls kindly let me know what I did wrong.
Thanks
jc
