Thanks, I have managed to restore the DB with the MySQL Administrator
tool v1.1. I have used file character set UTF-8. is this okay or I
should use another character set?

May not relate to your problem, just a few random thoughts:
@xwiki.sql upload
--The xwiki.sql file should be placed into your MySQL bin directory
(usually under C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin) before
running the command line instruction; and the user "xwiki" with password
"xwiki" must be created on MySQL beforehand.
@odd characters:
--There should be some odd-looking characters if you use notepad (or
another text-based editor) to edit the .sql file, so this is most likely
not the problem. It is worth comparing a second download of the .sql
file in case though.
@MySQL version 5.0.11
--Should not affect this step at all; *however* note that 5.0.11 is not
really supported yet on XWiki (far as I know), so it may be that you
experience other problems once installation is complete.
@What I do with new installs:
The xwiki.sql file you download can also be 'restored' through the MySQL
Administrator tool (downloadable through the MySQL website).
This is about the same effort as installing through the command line;
BUT you can do all database tasks at once (creating user, setting up a
backup process, etc).

Subject: [xwiki-users] xwiki mysql database?
I am trying to install xwiki on my windows XP Pro SP2 computer. I have
managed to follow all the instructions successfully up to the point of
setting up the xwiki database using the command "mysql -u xwiki -pxwiki
xwiki < xwiki.sql". I get an error message; "The system cannot find
specified file". I am using MySQL version 5.0.11 I don't know if this
could be an issue. Plus I seem to have a problem with the Database I
downloaded, when I look through it I find very strange characters which
might suggest that the downloadable DB is corrupted. I have attached a
copy of the data base as a txt file so you can cross check it and see if
there's anything wrong. I am new to this technology, please help.
Thanks.
Not sure if UTF-8 will work for you; I use ISO-8859-1 (sufficient for
us).
Note the configuration changes in the following document:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/CharactersSets
These changes should be made before you start using the system.
