Moving a Wiki
- External:
Steps:
- Backup the source wiki
- Transfer backups from the old server to the new one
- Restore the backup on the new server
Lessons learned after performing a not500 export and a now510 import:
- The wiki users carry passwords over (as expected, they're stored in the database).
- MySQL export/import went fine:
mysqldump -h localhost -u <old-user> -p --default-character-set=binary <old-database> > novaordis-wiki.sql mysql -u <new-user> -p <new-database> < novaordis-wiki.sql

Special pages -> Login / create account -> Create Account. Or Special:UserLogin/signup.
