Meaning I must have fat-fingered something the first time I tried the upgrade from 1.8.0 to 1.8.2. A few things I did differently this time and a few notes:
* I went to <top-level wiki directory>/lib/python2.5/site-packages and did a nice rm -rf * and cleaned it out completely. I know the default is to have these packages installed in the system's python installation area but for reasons of backup and portability, I keep it in the wiki area. * I have more than a few instances of the "moin" script around; I found one to stick with and made sure it had the proper sys import path to the relevant wikiconfig.py file. * when it came to updating wikiconfig.py, I moved the new default version into place and edited it line by line to add the custom entries from the old version. * make sure to chown -R <webuser>:<webgroup> <wiki dir to upgrade> (or whatever your OS's chown style is) before doing the data migration step. And of course, perform the operation as the webuser per the Migration docs. * once that's done, then proceed to do the /path/to/proper/moin maint cleancache, also as the webuser. thanks again for the responses, sorry to create noise in the system. we love MoinMoin! :) -Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Moin-user mailing list Moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/moin-user
