Hi

I am trying to move my wiki to a new laptop. I have loaded MAMP 4.5 and midiawiki 1.31. I have configured in the same way as I have always done in the past and I have the default page showing.

used php dumpBackup.php --full > filename to dump my old pages.. All OK

however when I try to import on my new system I get this

phil@M-C02VD1YAG8WN: php importDump.php  wikidump

as far as I can tell the LocalSettings.php is set up OK the database name and logins are all OK I have reset the password on the login and tried again but I cannot get past this error

Please do you have any suggestions

Thanks

Phil

for clarity the old version was using MAMP 3.4 and Media wiki 1.26.

I have set up the new versions exactly the same but cannot connect to the database.

I think I may have solved this changed

#$wgDBserver = "localhost";

to

$wgDBserver = "localhost:/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock";

in LocalSettings.php
