My apologies for lack of information.
Im running MediaWiki 1.5.5 (At this stage, im hesitant to upgrade as
the hardware im using is a bit flaky and is due for replacement).
I've google searched and looked through Mediawiki's website for a solution
to this, but cant seem to find one. I'd like to be able to fix this
without having to re-input the data, however, if someone is able to
give any clues as how I could get into the backend and get the
information direct out of the database, I could re-create it semi
manually.
You're still missing a lot of essential information, such as:
* Operating system - Linux (I'm unable to tell you any more then that,
because that's all I know)
* MySQL version - 4.0.25-standard
* PHP version - 4.4.1
* the exact procedure you used to backup and restore <- very important! -
phpMyAdmin Export
* whether you've checked MySQL logs <- very important - Unable, host doesn't
allow it
* whether you've looked up documentation on
mysql.com for how to check for
and repair damaged tables <- extremely important - Checked for damaged
tables prior to creating export
* whether you've checked web server or PHP debug logs - Unable, host doesn't
allow it
* whether you've looked up documentation on
php.net for how to enable
logging
