Hello all - I have not been able to solve our problem with a lost
revision history and am providing more information in hope that
someone might have a solution or at least some ideas on what to try
next. We are stuck ... please help!
Here is the problem:
* I moved the wiki files into a new folder structure.
* Afterwards none of our pages show a revision history anymore.
Clicking on Old Revisions only gives me a link to the current version
of each page. This applies to old pages (created before moving the
wiki) as well as new pages.
* Based on a comment from Wes, I assume that I accidentally deleted
the meta data for my wiki when I moved it's files to a new location.
* I checked the contents of the meta, pages, and attic folders and the
do seem to contain all information on revisions for the new pages, and
some information of revisions for the old ones (the changes that were
made after I moved the wiki).
* How can I get dokuwiki to consider the existing information and
display it to me in the revision history?
As an example, here is all the information for a page called "admin":
___ Contents of attic folder ___
admin.1201515073.txt.gz
admin.1209976737.txt.gz
___ Contents of pages folder ___
admin.txt
___ Contents of meta folder ___
admin.changes
admin.indexed
admin.meta
____ Contents of admin.changes file ____
1201515073 127.0.0.1 E admin external edit
1209976737 172.17.25.184 E admin philipp
____ Contents of admin.meta file ____
