I am not trying to use 1.4 script to talk to 1.5
database. And I know
the schemas has changed.
Let me put it clearly, I installed mediawiki 1.4 and the result was
creation of a database (wikidb) with the tables as per the 1.4 schema.
Now I downloaded the pages_full.xml.bz2 from the web (17 gig file). And
I want to import it.
Option 1: importdump.php - not possible as it is not there in 1.4
mediawiki
Option 2: mwdumper - problem error :
Error 1146(42SO2) at line 31 : Table 'wikidb.old' does not exist
There are three possibilities:
1) You didn't put any tables in the database 'wikidb'
2) You put 1.5 tables in the database 'wikidb'
3) You put 1.4 tables with a prefix in the database 'wikidb'
You need to actually look in the database and tell us which before continuing.
You also need to be very specific about the steps you are taking.
