Hi, 

I recently installed the EPF Wiki in C:\InstantRails2.0 (closely following 
the EPF wiki install guide). 
I spent a day experimenting with it. When I executed InstantRails.exe the 
first time, it asked if I would reset the configuration files. 
I only worked when I answered "OK". Without a user guide at hand I 
stumbled into some roadblocks. The \templates 20080828\ project site 
seemed to work just fine on the surface, but ... From the front page of 
http://myepfwiki/ 

I choose "Create new page in ..." - "Templates" 
I get the error: No such file or directory - 
C:/INSTAN~1.0/rails_apps/EPFWiki/public/bp/templates_20080828/new/guidances/termdefinitions/term_definition_template_A1183691.html
 


I don't have a C:/INSTAN~1.0 directory :( 

Seems like some of the configuration files have not been reset!? I then 
tried to publish a site from EPF 1.5M3 and import it into EPF Wiki. The 
published site is a directory of static web files. 
I then zip it and try to import. I get one folder level too much. OK, I 
must zip, not the containing folder but the files inside directly. 

Another options seems to be to copy the site folder directly into: 
C:\InstantRails2.0\rails_apps\[EPFWiki]\public\wikis Initially the Wiki 
tells me there are 0 pages in this newly created site. 

I look at the \templates 20080828\ project site and notice that it has a 
folder "new" containing all the content. 

Magically, when I rename a folder such as \base_concepts\ (containing 
OpenUP base concept definitions) to \new\, suddenly I am told the Wiki has 
found 560 pages. 
As I browse through the list of pages, I can see that the Wiki has only 
found the pages within the \new\ folder. 
I then try to create a new page: No such file or directory - 
C:/INSTAN~1.0/rails_apps/EPFWiki/public/bp/templates_20080828/new/guidances/termdefinitions/term_definition_template_A1183691.html
 


So it seems, that my new Wiki has the same wrong configuration as the 
default \templates ...\ project. What to do!? 

I then do a search for files with text matching "INSTAN~1.0" inside 
C:\InstantRails2.0 I find a log file, unzip_upload.log: Archive:  
C:/INSTAN~1.0/rails_apps/EPFWiki/public/bp/Publish2..zip    creating: 
C:/INSTAN~1.0/rails_apps/EPFWiki/public/bp/Publish2./Publish2/   
inflating: 
C:/INSTAN~1.0/rails_apps/EPFWiki/public/bp/Publish2./Publish2/about.htm   

I then make an educated guess that C:/INSTAN~1.0 must refer to 
C:\InstantRails1.0 as the file structure referenced matched that of 
C:\InstantRails2.0 

I wonder if I could make the Wiki work simply by renaming 
C:\InstantRails2.0 to something where C:/INSTAN~1.0/rails_apps becomes a 
valid filelocation? 
What have I been doing wrong in my installation process? Any ideas out 
there? 
I sure hope an EPF Wiki User Guide is in the works...
