just a guess but you may need to check the $IP declaration in 
LocalSettings.php if you simply dumped the wikidb from windows to linux. The 
actual directory strings will be different. I noticed this on some extensions 
that I wanted to use that were actually developed on a windows machine. You 
may have directory trouble on the pages themselves as well.
