migrating mediawiki

first the faculty mediawiki
the plan:
   - set up new virtual machine
   - backup data into xml
   - restore and use sqlite instead of mysql

- need to upgrade os on files in order to install php5-cli


- not sure how well the upgrade went, php is still broken with respect to dumping

- installing postgres on faculty, will restore the db, migrate, then remove postgres

- some annoyances getting apache and the new media wiki configured, partly changes in configuration files, partly missing packages.

- now dump the database and try putting it into sqlite

it took forever to reload it, and this one was relatively small, need to reconsider for the other one.
