Thread:Project:Support desk/mysql import succeeds, no data in web page/reply

The most simple question first: You have updated the DB credentials in LocalSettings.php and MediaWiki is not accessing the wrong DB all the time, right? ;-)

If PHP and MySQL are running on the new machine, that is fine. No need to change them or even to reinstall the OS. This will not solve your problem. ;-)

You say that you still have the original DB on the old machine available and you say it has 1 row in the pages table. Did I get you right?

If the above is right, then you should have had exactly one single page in your old wiki. Was that the case?
