Re: Import PHPwiki Dump Link on Admin Dir

Thanks James,
Your answer is very insightful, and I have printed it out as a handy reference. But I have solved the problem another way. The answer came to me during a restive nap this afternoon. I was actually downgrading to upgrade - that is, attempting to put older files on newer files to cut out a step in moving the installation to a new server.

Fantastico is soo quick and easy, it seemed natural to let it do a fast install, and then import the old database, and presto! instant move and upgrade in one. Only it does not work - old over new never does; try to install Windows 3.1 over XP and see what happens!

I did a clean uninstall, and uploaded all the 185 files to the new server, then imported the mysql dump. Now I have a perfect clone of the 185 running on the new server, and tonight it will be upgraded to 193 in a routine upgrade. Sometimes it just takes longer to save time.
