I do not have shell access to my host, so the help info on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki does not seem to help me at all.
Using phpMyAdmin, I exported by Database, and on the new host I used phpMyAdmin to import the database. It seems to have imported most, if not all, of the pages. But none of the data is there. When looking at the table size, they are pretty dang close to identical.
Unfortunately, I can't get the site to even pull up on the old host to see what should be there. Issues like that are one reason I am moving to a new host. But the new hosts has pages, just no content. Am I missing something? I've tried every way I can imagine to export and import, and nothing seems to work.
