Bug #: 29160
Summary: importbackup of file pages doesn't seem to
consistently rebind file pointers to pages in upload
directory
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16.3
Platform: Macintosh
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Uploading
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jshra...@stanford.edu
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
[We have this problem on many different version of mediawiki on various OSs,
and it's so obvious that there must be something we're just missing about it.
Great is this is a stupid question and you can just point us to the manual!]
When we move wiki content to a fresh install (via. importBackup and dumpBackup)
we get pages for the files, and we copy over the upload directory, but for some
reason the importBackup doesn't restore the file linkages in the database
appropriately. Actually, sometimes it seems like it does, but we cannot figure
out when it works and when it doesn't, and why. Is there a specific recipe that
one is supposed to use when copying the files over that go with an
importBackup?
