Hi, Hi, I'm re-posting this from the forum: http://forum.dokuwiki.org/post/2845 Thanks for you help. Tim Hi,I just moved my DokuWiki installation (http://www.webmontag.de) from my old to my new server.
Here's what I have done so far: 1. Backup old files Old installation was DokuWiki Release 2005-09-22d.Followed instructions here: http://wiki.splitbrain.org/ wiki:install:moreupgradedetailhosted
Backed up the following (via FTP to my local machine): * /data dir (except data/locks dir due to file ownership issues) * /conf/acl.auth.php * /conf/local.php * /conf/users.auth.php 2. Install newest version of DokuWiki on new server This part worked without any problems. 3. Restore settingsI uploaded the backe-up versions of these files. This seems to have worked as well, as I was able to log in using my old credentials (username/password).
* acl.auth.php * local.php * users.auth.php 4. Set permissions Did this according to the instructions. 5. Restore pagesOn the new server, I was not able to access (or delete) the /data/ cache dir. I simply renamed it and then was able to to upload all files in my backup.
I noticed two issues: a) Start page is not writeableb) When I click on "recent changes" I get the following message and the list of pages does not show up: warning: file(/path/data/meta/_dokuwiki.changes) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /path/inc/ changelog.php on line 107
6. Set more permissionsPages weren't writeable at first, so I had to set a few more permissions: /data/pages dir (files and subdirectories, I just took the settings from my old server)
On the start page, the do=check gives the following: DokuWiki version: Release 2006-11-06 PHP version 5.2.1 Changelog is writable Datadir is writable Attic is writable Mediadir is writable Cachedir is writable Lockdir is writable conf/users.auth.php is writable mb_string extension is available and will be used Debugging support is disabled Your current permission for this page is 4 The current page is writable by the webserver The current page is writable by you 7. Do a test edit Worked fine. http://www.webmontag.de/doku.php?id=web_montag&do=diffHowever, the recent changes page still showed only the one single test edit I just did a few minutes ago.
I found the above forum entry: http://forum.dokuwiki.org/post/979 I added this line to my local.php $conf['template'] = 'default'; Problem still persists.My question: How can I restore my wiki's history and make the "old" recent changes show up?
Thanks for your help. I wasn't able to find any more info on the DokuWiki site or in the forum, but feel free to point me to any documentation there is.
