Yup I have full control over what version of PHP my database uses currently. Set it to PHP5 after a problem with the media wiki software and left it at PHP5. How would I backup the entire Wiki Directory? Usually i'll just go into the phpadmin code for the database linked to the media wiki and select all the files then create a zip file with all the files to make the wiki work zipped up in it. After that i'll just download the zip file and keep it stored away on my computer. On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 5:23 PM, Benjamin Lees <emufarmers(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Unfortunately it will be a moot point now the upgrade installer the company i'm with kinda...screwed up. Even though I had a small backup area of the 1.6.5 wiki files and backed up the wiki database prior to upgrading it still fouled up some how. Now I get an error stating it has a problem with an unknown column in the user_edits area and can't find the column nor do I know where to go to fix it. Is there any way to find the wiki pages within the database backup and put them into the new Wiki? What database table are the wiki files stored on so I can delete that file from the test DB then upload to see if I can reclaim what I lost. Only good thing that's come out of this is the software is now up to date being 1.16 so I can use template files atleast.

When you press the upgrade button it initiates a command which takes care of everything including the update script. So really there's nothing to do or that can be done unfortunately. On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 7:28 PM, K. Peachey <p858snake(a)yahoo.com.au> wrote:

Is there any program that can access the wiki page files directly and extract them putting them onto the new wiki site? Would want to save this way as a sort of last resort due to the time and energy involved with it. On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 5:12 AM, Frank Ralf <Frank.Ralf(a)gmx.net> wrote:

If I went with phpMyAdmin for direct manipulation of the database tables what table specifically would contain the information I need? Sadly I have a feeling i'm miss understanding what I can do here. I'm thinking that I can open up one of the tables and there will be the coding like page name, with all of the coding for each individual page that I can then extract copying/pasting the information into a text document. After that I could just recreate each page on the wiki copying/pasting the information from the text document. However I doubt that's exactly what I can do and that just isn't possible.
