[Mediawiki-l] How to recover a database

[Christiaan Briggs]

I'm running MediaWiki on our intranet at work. I recently upgraded  
our server from Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.4. In the process the MySQL  
default database location appears to have been moved, so MediaWiki  
couldn't see its database. I've also subsequently reinstalled  
MediaWiki (but to a more recent version than before the system  
upgrade), giving it a new database.

My question is, having found the old database in a directory call  
wiki (but with no .sql suffix), consisting of the files as pasted  
below, how do I recover it for the latest version of MediaWiki I have  
installed?:

I've tried simply moving the database to the new location and  
attempting to open it with phpMyAdmin but it said "No tables found in  
database," and:

> Warning: mysql_query(): Unable to save result set in /Library/ 
> WebServer/>Documents/phpMyAdmin/libraries/mysql_wrappers.lib.php on  
> line 104 Error SQL-query :  SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM `wiki-two` MySQL  
> said: #12 - Can't read dir of './wiki-two/' (Errcode: 13)
