[Mediawiki-l] Migration from Windows to Linux

[Emanuele D'Arrigo]

Hi everybody,

a SysAdmin in my company has attempted to migrate our Mediawiki
installation from a Windows server to a Linux one, but discrepancies
are arising between the contents of the two.

Specifically, while many pages work just fine, hinting to a mostly working
installation, but many other pages result into blank browsers, no matter
if they should have been carried over as normal by the MySQL-dump that
has been used to transfer the DB.

The only difference I can think of between the failing pages and those
that work is that the former had been originally generated via XML imports
and transclude subpages. (*)

Is this something that could represent a problem? And is there a page
on mediawiki.org that I could recommend to our SysAdmin to go through?

Thank you in advance.

Manu

(*) The rationale behind this was to use the XML import function
to procedurally generate the subpages while the users retain the
capability to edit the bits of the actual page that do not rely on
transclusion of the subpages.
