[Mediawiki-l] Migration from Windows to Linux

[a. cremer]

We had some problems with migrating to Linux as well.

In the end we found that the trouble was caused by an ftp-program that 
converted anything (files and directories) into lowercase.



Due to the fact that mediawiki is case sensitive that ended in blank pages 
as well. You might have a look.



Kind regards
