Thread:Project:Support desk/Migrating from Wikka-Wiki to Mediawiki, Database problem

Hi there,

as the title says, I'm trying to migrate from a Wikkawiki based wiki to a Mediawiki based one. There don't seem to be any tools available to convert the wikka-db, so I want to import the data manually. Right now, I'm trying to create an article by modifying the necessary database entries to understand how mediawiki works:

I edited the tables "page", "revision", "text", "searchindex" and "logging" in the database.

1. The page is created properly

2. The page history is created properly

BUT

accessing the page gives me the following error:

"The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found"

Clicking on the edit button, however, shows the proper content. The same behavior occurs when accessing the article through the history page: same error message, but clicking on edit shows the correct content. Does someone know which table column points Mediawiki to the content of the last version?

Here's my setup:

MediaWiki 	1.19.1

PHP 	5.2.9 (apache2handler)

MySQL 	5.1.33-community

Since I'm running this offline via xampplite, I can't provide a link.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have been trying to get this to work for days now. Thanks in advance.
