+[[!meta title="How do I move my MediaWiki to a new locker?"]]
+Unfortunately, it is a multi-step process to move a MediaWiki
+installation to a new locker.
+
+To move a MediaWiki located in directory `/mit/A/web_scripts/index`
+to a new directory `/mit/B/web_scripts/index`:
+
+\1. Attach the two directories so as to make administrative tasks
+ easier:  
+ `athena% attach A`  
+ `athena% attach B`
+
+\2. To sign up the second locker (if necessary)  
+ `athena% add scripts`  
+ `athena% signup-web B`
+
+\3. Copy the Databases using SQL.  
+ 3b) While in Locker B signup for sql  
+ `athena% signup-sql`  
+ 3c) Sign into phpMyAdmin web interface at http://sql.mit.edu/  
+ 3d) You will need the username and password located in the .my.cnf
+ file of each locker (i.e. `/mit/A/.my.cnf`).  
+ 3e) Sign into the SQL account for locker A using phpMyAdmin
+ first.  
+ 3f) Click on A+index  
+ 3g) Use the export button to download a copy of the database to
+ your computer.  
+ 3h) Exit and Sign into the SQL account for locker B (NOT
+ phpMyAdmin)  
+ 3i) Create a new database using the “add” field in the bottom right
+ of the list of databases.  
+ 3j) Sign into phpMyAdmin for locker B  
+ 3k) Click on B+index  
+ 3l) Use the import tool to import the file you just exported from
+ your   
+ desktop. Be sure to select the correct character set.
+
+\4. Recursively copy the software,  
+ `athena% cp -r /mit/A/web_scripts/index /mit/B/web_scripts`
+
+\5. Update settings:  
+ 5a) Update the `/mit/B/web_scripts/index/LocalSettings.php` with
+ the wgSitename,  
+ wgScriptPath, wgDBname, wgDBuser, and wbDBpassword lines to
+ reflect  
+ the new locker
+
+5b) Update the `/mit/B/web_scripts/index/php.ini` file with the
+correct locker username for the  
+upload\_tmp\_dir and the session.save\_path (otherwise the computer
+will not  
+remember that you are logged in)
+
+\6) Be happy.
