I had already done so several times, but you were right to make me do it
again :) It turned out Apache didn't have permission to access
data/changes.log. After chowning it do=check now does list "Old changelog
exists".

That finally made data/meta/_dokuwiki.changes appear, and after removing
that, now finally all old revisions are listed.

Thank you sir! :)


In the mean time I ran into another upgrade issue though: after I enabled
debug mode through the Configuration Manager, every link in the wiki now
attempts to open in a new window. All 5 entries in the Configuration
Manager's Link Settings are empty. I see no indication what strings are
accepted as settings.

The conf/local.php that I had copied over from the old DW appears to have
been overwritten by the Configuration Manager. Two settings have completely
disappeared: $conf['authtype'] = 'plain'  and
$conf['superuser'] = '@admin'. However, it does still contain $conf['target']
= 'array("extern"=>"")', from my original conf/local.php file. So I don't
understand why links are pointing to new windows.

Any ideas what's going on here?

No prob. I'm just testing to see what issues I'll run into. Only once I'm
comfortable that I know how to do the upgrade properly will I do this to the
'live' version.
