I'm using a new server and migrating my previous Mediawiki (http://shadow.enst.fr/barbules) on this server. It was common for me to import pages from the Special:Import page. But on the new installation, it doesn't work. I'm always getting the message: "L’import du fichier a échoué : il est possible que celui-ci dépasse la taille autorisée. Veuillez exporter le fichier depuis le wiki d’origine en utilisant l’outil Special:Export, le sauvegarder sur votre disque dur et le copier ici. " In english something like 'import fails; perhaps too big" when I try to import a really small file (23 Kb) that I'm able to import on my previous wiki. After walking in the documentation and checking a lot of things (LocalSettings.php file, rights on my wiki directories...) I'm hoping some help. - php.ini is correctly set with upload on and post and upload size set to 8M - all rights have been set to RWX for all the world (just for the purpose of test) (Note: the new server is not online while this problem is not solved)
Have you tried to call php maintenance/importDump.php < /path/to/your/dump/your_dump.xml from command line?
With the following command php maintenance/importDump.php < /home/tux/Barbules-20080219101508.xml I get the following answer ALERT - script tried to increase memory_limit to 4294967295 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker 'REMOTE_ADDR not set', file '/opt/lampp/htdocs/barbules/maintenance/commandLine.inc', line 217) PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/barbules/includes/SpecialImport.php on line 418 The Barbules-20080219101508.xml file has 2239 bytes.

My server is working with XAMPP I don't know how to get php working in command line from the XAMPP install. So, I have worked with a separate install of PHP After somme problem to hava xml and mysql working with that PHP install, I know have the command line php maintenance/importDump.php < /path/to/your/dump/my_dump.xml working (near from). I need to call the maintenance/rebuildtextindex.php to be able to search for the imported pages. These pages doesn't appears in the 'recent changes' page. (I have tried the maintenance/rebuildrecentchanges.php command, without success) BUT THE IMPORT FROM THE WEB INTERFACE ALWAYS FAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE and I can't easily access the the importDump command line each time I have a new page to load. Has you can see I'm fighting with this problem from the 19/2 and I'm hoping some help. Thank you in advance
It sounds like you've got a basic problem with file uploads; confirm that you can upload files (for instance image files) for other purposes.
Thank you for the advice It was a problem of owner of the uploaddir of my system For others who can I have the same problem: the uploaddir is defined in the php.ini by the line upload_tmp_dir = /my/path/to/uploaddir and must be writable by the 'user' which represents the server.
