: In what location does Tiki store articles: in the file system or in the MySQL database? I have a dump of the directory structure from an old Tiki website from around 2010 that is no longer
I have a dump of the directory structure from an old Tiki website from around 2010 that is no longer up. I would like to view the raw text of the articles but am unable to locate any files that appear to be articles after browsing the directory structure. Where does Tiki store user articles in the file system? I found lib/articles/artlib.php and lib/articles/index.php, but nothing appeared to be user added in there. Perhaps there were no articles, if so, how can I confirm that?
Alternatively, are the articles stored in the MySQL database and not stored as textual files? If in the db, is there an easy way to browse them? I'd rather not create a complete Tiki site and try to map these old file system into it only to discover that there was no useful content, so how can I judge how much content was actually added? Thus far, I've found one image file in temp/CRW_0075.jpg that was added to the site, but that is the only sign of content I've located thus far.
My ultimate goal here is to assess if there is any useful information in this Tiki and if so, to extract it into a private MediaWiki I am helping to create.

You will need to export the mysql table that it is stored in.
Open a SSH connection to your server.
Sign in to mysql with mysql - u [username] -p. Enter your password when prompted. Type show databases. Choose the database the seems the right one. Type use [database name ]. Type show tables. Remember the table that appears relevant. Now, exit mysql with exit.
Type mysqldump - u [username] - p [table name that you remembered] > exportedTable.sql. Enter your password when prompted. The file exportable.sql has the table's data, and you can download it over sftp/ftp.
If the table doesn't have the right data, try again, but pick a different database or table.
