[[!meta title="How do I move a scripts.mit.edu site from one locker to another?"]]
If you are trying to move a MediaWiki, please use the detailed
instructions [here](/faq/88).

In this example, Ben Bitdiddle will be move a wiki to the 6.001
locker. First he makes sure the 6.001 locker is signed up for the
scripts and SQL services:

> athena% **add scripts**  
> athena% **signup-web**  
> ...  
> athena% **signup-sql**  
> ...

Then he copies over the files:

> athena% **attach** bitdiddl 6.001  
> athena% **cp -a /mit/**bitdiddl**/web\_scripts/**wiki
> **/mit/**6.001**/web\_scripts**

Then he dumps the SQL database, creates a database named *wiki* for
6.001 by logging into [sql.mit.edu](http://sql.mit.edu) as 6.001,
and restores the dump into the 6.001 locker. A database dump can be
created and restored either [with phpMyAdmin](/faq/10/), or with
the command line:

> athena% **ssh -k scripts**  
> [bitdiddl@scripts]$ **mysqldump** bitdiddl+wiki
> **\> database-dump.sql**  
> [bitdiddl@scripts]$ **exit**  
> athena% **mv database-dump.sql /mit/**6.001**/web\_scripts**  
> athena% **ssh -k**6.001**@scripts**  
> [6.001@scripts]$ **mysql** 6.001+wiki **< database-dump.sql**

Finally, he edits the configuration files in
/mit/6.001/web\_scripts/wiki to use the 6.001 locker's username and
password. For MediaWiki, this is done in the file
**LocalSettings.php**.
