Thread:Project:Support desk/Problem Migrating MediaWiki To New Host

Hi Everyone,

I'm at my wits end here so I thought I'd turn to you guys, the experts. I'm trying to move a MediaWiki from Dreamhost to a new host. I've backed up the database and wiki folder, built the new MySQL database with user name, changed the LocalSettings.php file to information to call on the new database, uploaded on the new host via FTP the wiki folder, but for some reason I can't get MediaWiki to work.

Yet it kind of does. If you go here: http://www.temeraire.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&amp;type=rights&amp;user=&amp;page=

You will see that it appears as though MediaWiki is indeed calling on information that should be in that database. But if you try to click on any of those links on the left or go to http://www.temeraire.org/wiki/, the MediaWiki page doesn't come up and I get an error message.

I run Wordpress for the rest of the site. Not sure if that matters or not. Anyone got any ideas? I'm not even sure what MediaWiki I am running, since I am this author's new webmaster and I wasn't there when MediaWiki was installed.

Best, Shawn
