Manual talk:Installing MediaWiki/LQT Archive 1

Moving a DB
Hi,

I would like to move a previous installation of mediawiki + postgresql from a mac osx system to a linux/Ubuntu system. What are the steps that I should follow?

MySQL Installation Instructions Unclear
"If you know the root password on your database, the MediaWiki installation script can create a new database for you." Huh? How can one "know" or use a password for a database that hasn't yet been created?
