I tried to import the entire english wikipedia
dump(some 15 gigs) in to
mediawiki1.4.
The entire process took 2 days and then, it seems nothing happened !
I got an error like the following in between somewhere.
ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 28: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1
But the import was not aborted. So I let it continue.
I never tried importing the dump in MediaWiki 1.4, but I had the same
problem in 1.5. The solution for me was to empty some tables first. In
1.5, the following does the trick: Run "mysql -u root -p wikidb" and
give the commands "truncate page; truncate revision; truncate text;".
My guess is that in 1.4 you need to do "truncate cur;".

I did as you instructed by emptying the cur, old ,and blobs tables. The
import went on for 3 days. The size of the database wikidb(in this case)
increased to 4.1 GB. only although the total dump is 15 gig big.
After the import was over, I started the http server, and if I try to
search some page say "FRance" in the search field, no results are
obtained showing the import was not successful. What do you think is the
problem.
Is there something more I should do?
