OK!! That did the trick. I finally decided to make a backup, drop the new unpopulated database, creat a new one & do the command line import that you suggested. i also found some docs online that said to do exactly as you suggested. Now its all working. Got to clean up some of the configs for mediawiki & install a few extensions but at least its working & seems OK. Thanks!!!!!
