Thread:Project:Support desk/Mediawiki mysql and importDump restore failures from 1.6.6 to 1.17.0./reply (2)

Regarding the XML restore: There will now be a slight delay due to technical difficulties. I shortened the file from 322 MB to 28 KB. It failed in 1.16.5. I tried it in 1.17.0 and it appeared to work, but bitched about missing links, so I retried the full file in 1.17.0 -- and learned that my openSUSE testbed default install created a large /home partition and a small / partition, which promptly filled up via MySQL and crashed. I'm not sure what I did to get the XML restore to work, but I have some serious system rebuilding to do before I can find out. Thanks for your quick response. Please consider this my problem rather than that of MediaWiki, until I can rebuild a system where I can properly test it.

Thanks for the support!
