I was wondering how you import an xml dump from meta.
When I tried using
Special:Import, it gave me the error "Unknown Import Source Type". If there
is a different way i should be doing this, please let me know. Thanks,
If you tried to upload a large file to Special:Import, this probably
won't work due to the default upload size limit of 2 megabytes in PHP.
For a large dump you'd want to use the command-line tool:
gzip -dc bigfile.xml.gz | php importDump.php
-- brion vibber (brion @
pobox.com)
