To transfer a whole running MediaWiki box from Debian to Mac OSX(10.4.10), follow the steps:
- Backup the database in Debian.
mysqldump -ac --add-drop-table --user="wikiuser" --password="blahblah" wikidb |gzip -f > ~/wikidb.gz
- Backup all uploaded staff in Debian.
sudo tar czf /var/lib/mediawiki1.7/upload ~/upload.tar.gz
- Transfer these two backup files to OSX by SFTP or whatever.
- Prepare required env in OSX.
- Apache 1.3.* (built-in)
- MySQL
- PHP5/Entropy
- Download the newest MediaWiki pack from the official site.
- Unpack MediaWiki to /Library/WebServer/Documents/mediawiki-*.*.*, and a good habit is to make a symbol link 'wiki', which allows you to manage multi-version of MediaWiki more comfortably.
- Open CocoaMySQL, add DB, add user, give it privileges, and import database from the backup file wikidb.gz.
- Open Safari and access: http://localhost/wiki, follow the common setup steps(change config folder permission, etc.), at the end the script will check and upgrade the database, let it be. When it ends, do NOT go to the home page yet for now.
- Move LocalSettings.php to up one level, make wiki/images folder writable to apache user.
- Unpack the whole upload.tar.gz and move all the content(many folders named '0' '1' 'A' etc. and 'thumb' 'archive' and so on) under the upload folder to wiki/images folder.
- Now go to http://localhost/wiki and get all th stuff back!
