The docs above are assuming that you ran an old moin version (like 1.2 or 1.3) and then migrate to 1.5.3. To do that (for this case) means to run all appropriate mig scripts ONCE (not multiple times) to successfully migrate your data dir to 1.5.3. Of course, if you never had a moin version older than 1.5.3, you don't need to run those old mig scripts. And if you had run them ONCE in the past to migrate to 1.5.3, you don't have to run them again either. Maybe just check if you have a data/meta file with the version number in it. If not, you at least need to run the last one of the old mig scripts (that creates this file). > > Then in "Post 1.5.3 new style migration" you write: > > b) Invoke the following command: > moin --config-dir=/path/to/config_dir \ > --wiki-url=wiki.example.org/ migration data > > Note: If you did not use setup.py, you can call the moin script > directly.

The new one (of course you need to have a working config in there). > What is the wiki-url exactly? Is the slash on the end of it necessary? It is an expression that is matched by farmconfig's "wikis" list (just like a URL you use to access your wiki by browser - but without the http:// part). If you don't run a farmconfig, but just a single wiki, every wiki url will work. > Are "migration" and "data" literals, or do I substitute particular > values there? If so, what values? Literals. BTW, in case of trouble, there are some migration howtos linked from the MoinMoinDownload wiki page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Moin-user mailing list Moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/moin-user
