[Mediawiki-l] Problems using mwdumper.jar

[Ulisse Savi]

I would like to use a wikipedia dump in my installation of Mediawiki 1.6.7 here http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/, using the proceduce found here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps

I have used mwdumper, because tutorial ask that importDump is slow.
mwdumper
mwdumper is a standalone program for filtering and converting XML dumps. It can produce output as another XML dump as well as SQL statements for inserting data directly into a database in MediaWiki's 1.4 or 1.5 schema.

I have lauched the command in the server :

[root at myserver maintenance]# java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.5 enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 | mysql -u databaseuser -p databasename
Enter password: "i have used my database password"

1,000 pages (19.529/sec), 1,000 revs (19.529/sec)

The problem is that it is the first time in my life that i use MediaWiki and i'm not an expert.

1) I continue to have not any page in the site where i have installed wikimedia and in the database i can not see directly any new entry/page in the site. Exist a system to verify that the dump is inserted really in the database = In the site i use with wikimedia i have not any new page here :
http://encyclopedia.meta99.com/
Exist a system to verify if the dump pages are in the database ?
In a message of your list i have found about a similar problem 
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:3LLMxLN9gPcJ:mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2005-November/032747.html+importDump.php&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3
"2) Are you using read-only mode on the wiki? "

I have installed mediawiki using the standard procedure and at the moment i have not did any changing in the configuration/setting. To use the dump i have to make some particular setting/configuration ???

2) Why this error, after launching the script ?
[root at myserver maintenance]# java -jar mwdumper.jar --format=sql:1.5 enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 | mysql -u databaseuser -p databasename
Enter password: "i have used my database password"

1,000 pages (19.529/sec), 1,000 revs (19.529/sec)
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 46: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1
Have you an idea ?

3) When mwdumper.jar has finished the work what i have to do, to use the dump in my system ? I have not found instructions about that in the wikimedia site. When msdumper has finished i need to make some particular setting/configuration in my installation of mediawiki to use the pages in my site/system ?
