Here's the Problem again in short:
After moving all files, the wiki-internal links (with syntax
[[article-to-be-linked]] ) contains wrong URLs (new domain but with the
path from the old location).
This causes a server error:
Not Found
The requested URL /winfwiki/index.php/Testseite was not found on this
server.
Apache Server at wiki.intermoves.de Port 80
This behaviour is occasionally and we have no clue why.
This is strange behaviour. How did you dump the mysql database?
As both domains are hosted on the same server i just moved the files and
did not do anything with the DB. There are nightly backups, created with
mysqldump and stored in .sql files.
MediaWiki 1.13.0
PHP 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.0.27-log
Upgrade (to 1.13.5), and re-run the (web page)installer? Possibly
without the data? You could also try 1.14.0 which I have done.
# 1.14.0 - 2009-02-22
# 1.13.5 - 2009-02-22
I didn't have the heart to move AND upgrade in one step.
Now i think maybe it's the best to move the wiki, rename the
LocalSettings.php to LocalSettings-backup.php, then re-run the web
installer.
If the links aren't alright then, we could still try to update the wiki.
I also note that you are running 5.0 mysql. Was the old
site also mysql?
Yes, as mentioned above, the DB is still the same.

I'll try out the webinstaller and report the results here as soon as i'm
done.
