I need to move a mediawiki site from a drive on my server that is
running Linux Mint LMDE flavor: to a drive on that same sever that is
running Ubuntu Enterprise server. Both are latest versions. I exported
the database (MySqlDump) and have it "backed Up" as well from Webmin.
No issues there as I got the exact same size file after exporting it 2
times, 4.1Gb. I tried to do a standard upgrade after installing the new
mediawiki 1.24.2 to the ubuntu server. i.e. following the instructions
from mediawiki. it said I was successful, but I was never able to get
the site to open, just a blank page. i tried stripping down the site and
removing most of the extensions so that is not the issue. I finally
decide the installl was somehow corrupted and put up a brand new site
from scratch and it is running fine. So I tried using the imported data
base by simply changing the name of the datsbase in LocalSettings.php.
that seems to have worked sort of, but the graphics and several main
page links are missing.
So here is my question. How can I fix this. Any tips or ideas are
greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
