[Mediawiki-l] [mediawiki-l] Restoring wiki from xml-dump plus files in folder

[Gregor Hagedorn]

We have an xml-dump and the folder structure of files (in their
md5-derived, 2-folder levels) as backup and want to restore on a new
server, current mediawiki version (1.18 alpha).

We did
./maintenance/importDump.php
./maintenance/rebuildAll.php

All went well, but mediawiki does not know about the files yet. I
thought running
./maintenance/rebuildImages.php
is the right thing to do, but it is undocumented and does not achieve anything.

output is:
Processing image...
Finished image... 0 of 0 rows updated
Processing oldimage...
Finished oldimage... 0 of 0 rows updated

Any hints how to restore the image to the wiki?

thanks!

Gregor
