Help importing abstract.xml

Dear Media Wiki Community,

First I would like to say sorry if I wrongly ask help by this way. I am
having a problem related to importing abstract.xml which is dumped data
from http://my.wikipedia.org . I am getting the error of "Import failed:
Expected <mediawiki> tag, got feed ". I have no idea for that.

Second problem is importing a file named
mywiki-20120430-all-titles-in-ns0.gz which is situated on
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mywiki/20120430/ . I am not sure which file type
it is and how I import.

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,

Ko Min

It sounds like you might be trying to import an RSS or Atom feed instead of
a Special:Export or data dump .xmp dump.

Are you sure you have the right file, obtained correctly?

This is just a list of page titles; there's not really a way to import it
as such.

Re: Help importing abstract.xml [In reply to]

Dear Brion,

For first problem, file name is
mywiki-20120430-abstract.xml<http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mywiki/20120430/mywiki-20120430-abstract.xml>which
is on
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/mywiki/20120430/ . I am not so sure. This is my
first time testing wiki software.

For second problem, you mean that I don't really need to import it. Isn't
it? Just confirm with you.

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,

Ko Min

Ah, this is a feed of short extracts of all pages; you can't import it into
a wiki.

If you want to import all articles, you probably want the pages-articles or
pages-meta dumps.

Re: Help importing abstract.xml [In reply to]

Dear All,

Sorry again. I already imported all backup and xml from
http://dumps.wikipedia.org/mywiki/ but the links are still not working. I
already used rebuildall.php in maintenance folder but I still can't open
the page. When I opened the page, the error is the post may be deleted and
blah blah blah. Is there anything that I need to do after importing data?

Best Regards,
Ko Min

What file(s) did you use and with which method did you import it?
