OK, you don't want me to use importDump.php.

Do you want me to use the backup I made with mysqldump?

Then use the command to import it:

/usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=[passwprd] wikidb < /home/mydirectory/mysql_backup-wikidb-20140123.sql

Then use the mysql commands you've just supplied to inspect the database?
