I have followed these steps and it seems not to work.
I have re installed the mediawiki software and then I tried
to open the corresponding wikipage, but only see empty pages.
There are several reasons for this:
- when the hard disk crashed the database was damaged,
as a matter of fact when I have a look into the
/var/lib/mysql/maqwiki
directory most of the files are very small in size with the
exception of searchindex.MYD and searchindex.MYI. I
have no idea whether this is "normal".
- I did not do the recover process correctly. Is there
any "hardcore" mysql command I could use to check the
database?
- the connection between the mediawiki conf and the
data base is broken. I will ask in the mediawiki page
about this.
Any advice and help is very much appreciated.
