25 Yes this is a little clumsy and non-obvious.
26 I'm currently working on making it better (at least
27 in the development branch.)
29 In the mean time, here's how I suggest you
31 Get either a zip dump, or a serialized dump from your
32 old wiki. (But first, create a copy of FrontPage called HomePage, or
33 else you will have trouble loading the new wiki. It will try to load
34 the zip file every time since it doesn't detect a HomePage. --SW)
36 (If your using a zip dump, it must (for now) be
37 on the server machine. Copy it there if it's not
40 Edit lib/config.php in the new wiki and set WIKI_PGSRC
41 to point either to your zip file, or the the serialized
44 Blow away the database of your new wiki.
45 (Delete the db files for a db base wiki,
47 mysql -u <user> -p <database> < schemas/schema.mysql
48 to blow away a mysql based wiki.
50 Now with your web browser, go browse to
51 the HomePage of your new wiki. It will detect
52 that it's working with a virgin database and
53 will pull in the pages from the source
54 specified in WIKI_PGSRC.
