Moving your wiki

We had a demo wiki available on amazon while we tested the concept. Once we had a chance to get input from everyone, we moved it to an internal system. Here's how we moved it over.

Login to your old server and use dumpBackup

cd /usr/share/mediawiki/maintenance/
php dumpBackup.php --current --include-files --output=gzip:full.gzip

Download full.gzip

It turns out you actually need to unpack it locally, since Import will not do this for you.

Import this into your new wiki

Upload the unpacked file which should unpack all the files.

Now move the files over manually

You can see all the files and where they are linked to by going to your ListFiles page.
