There should be few real changes to take into consideration: it's not like a migration from a much-earlier version of Moin (like the recent messages about 1.5.x or, astonishingly, 1.2.x) where you might have to process the content for Moin's parser to be happy with it or to upgrade extensions to work with different APIs. > Reason I ask is that I've done just this, and when attempting to access a > copied wiki on the new server, I get an "Unhandled Exceptions" error.

I can think of a few things: * Cached content (stuff which is pickled and doesn't always like being unpickled in a different environment). Use "moin maint cleancache" to deal with this. * Generated .pyc files (that might not work in the new environment). Use your favourite combination of "find", "xargs" and "rm" to deal with this. ;-) * Permissions and policies (standard user, group and access rights plus things like SELinux). See (for SELinux): https://moinmo.in/HowTo/FedoraSELinux My "favourite" error was related to the i18n mechanism: https://moinmo.in/MoinMoinQuestions/Errors#Internal_server_error_when_changing_python_version https://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/argument_of_type_%27NoneType%27_is_not_iterable This should be mostly dealt with by the above measures.
