Hi,
Hoping that someone can help.
I have recently restored two wikis from a backup after a harddisk
failure.
The wikis make use of a single MySQL database,
each of them using
prefixed
tables. One of the wikis is running just fine
after the restore; the
other
one is not.
The issue is that all of the content on the malfunctioning wiki's main
page is gone; the page just displays the sample text "There is
currently no
text in this page. You can search ..." Even
worse, I cannot edit the
wiki's
main page: clicking the edit button when
registered brings up the
message
"No such section --- You tried to edit a
section that does not exist.
Since
there is no section , there is no place to save
your edit."
What's also confusing is that all of the other pages seem to be fine; I
can search for pages, and clicking on "Random page" does what it's
supposed
to do. I can also edit all other pages except for
the main page.
Has anyone come across anything remotely similar?
I am pretty sure it has to be an error within the database. If I export
an
XML dump of all the pages, the main page is not
among the pages in the
XML.
However, the page table contains an entry for the
main page. How can I
test
the validity of that entry?
Best,
Sebastian
