Hi Dave, Thank you for your reply.
By "no pages to view" I meant that the browser keeps on working but no values are returned. In the mediawiki tables I have populated information from Wikipedia dump for the following: redirect pagel categorylinks pagelinks externallinks pages-articles. My understanding was that mediawiki will be having "Main_Page" when it has no data populated in the database tables. If only "Main_Page" will be displayed even after the mediawiki related tables are populated then is there any additional step that needs to be done for the local mediawiki to start showing the content.
