I have now got full access to the old instance on the other server and the
meta file says:
data_format_revision: 01070000
I have replaced the meta file in my new instance (which reads
data_format_revision: 1090200) with the old one but the pages I have added
from the old instance archive still don't appear.
To be honest, I have never used MoinMoin as a user before so I have no
idea how to access content under ../data.pages from the Wiki. However, I
now have root access to the server hosting the old instance and I have
been given some Wiki login usernames and passwords which don't work (and
the original Wiki superuser password has been lost). Is there a file in
the old MoinMoin installation that I could edit and reset the user and
superuser passwords?
I've also noticed my ../underlay/pages on the new instance has very little
in it (just BadContent and LanguageSetup) compared with the old instance -
would it be OK to copy all the folders starting with 'HelpOn...' from the
old instance to the new one?

I had a look at this and also at all the migration scripts under
../MoinMoin/script/migration but the data format of the 1.7.0 data files
from the old instance looks identical to that for 1.9.2? Or am I missing
somthing very important here?
