 * The best method to use when manually transferring a wiki from a windows platform to a Linux platform involves:
 * Manually installing MediaWiki on the Linux platform from a tar file as outlined here: Manual Install of Wiki (i.e. try not to use install from a automated package)
 * Replacing the newly installed MediaWiki folder (e.g. $code...) on your Linux machine with the MediaWiki base folder from your windows machine
 * Updating your Linux machine's MySQL Database (e.g. wikidb) with the wiki database from your windows machine (i.e. use the backup and restore features of mysql as outlined above)
