[Mediawiki-l] Newbie Question

[John Foster]

I have a debian distro mediawiki v.1.15 site on one computer that I want to
move to another directory with the newer version mediawiki v.1.17 installed
and working from a tarball. Still on the same debian system. i created a new
database for the new mediawiki...I want to import/restore the database from
the old version to the new one.I exported the database from the old ver.
using phpmyadmin, no issue there. When I tried to import it to the new ver.
database it errored out saying the file was too big. Any ideas on how to do
this? I also have Webmin installed with access to all these same databases,
if that helps.
Thanks!
John
