I ran "ikiwiki --setup" using my existing ikiwiki.setup configuration. +I had many errors like: + + /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/wikilink/index.html independently created, not overwriting with version from wikilink + BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 129. + +and: + + failed renaming /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/smileys.ikiwiki-new to /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/smileys: Is a directory + BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 129. + +Probably about six errors like this. I worked around this by removing the files and directories it complained about. +Finally it finished. + +My next problem was that ikiwiki start letting me edit without any password authentication. It used to prompt +me for a password but now just goes right into the "editing" mode. +The release notes for 2.0 say password auth is still on by default. + +The third problem is that when editing my textbox is empty -- no content. + +This is using my custom rcs.pm which has been used thousands of times. + +Now I regenerated my ikiwiki.cgi again (no change to my configuration, +and I just get an empty HTML page when attempting editing or "create". + +Now I see it created directories for my data. I fixed that by setting +usedirs (I see that is in the release notes for 2.0) and rerunning ikiwiki --setup +but I still have empty pages for editing (no textbox no html at all). + +(I am posting this now, but will do some research and post some more.) + +Is there any webpage with upgrade steps? + +--JeremyReed + + ---- # Excellent - how do I translate a TWiki site? -- 2.39.2
