+[[!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**.
