Re: [Pws] how to restore a backed up Swiki?

[Tim Born]

Here's more data on a Swiki restore that doesn't work.

I restored Swiki from the day before the crash to a /tmp location.
Made sure the swiki service was not running.
Started swiki on the newly restored directory.

When I attempt to connect to one of the Swiki webs on this instance, I see the following:

The requested URL (http://redwest.ih.lucent.com:8000/Swiki3) was not found on this server. Click here to get a list of swikis on this site.

If I connect to the base address (port 8000 on this server) it shows the following:

Swikis on this Site

• Swiki1 (51): a refs swiki
• refs (14): a refs swiki
• Swiki2  (17): a refs swiki

There are several Swiki webs missing from this list.  The directory structure is there, and as near as I can tell doesn't look any different between the Swikis that are listed and the Swikis that are not listed.

If I follow the link to any of these Swiki webs, I get garbage like this:

Swiki2 Swiki

002 Planning

• Error: this should not happen
• Error: this should not happen

I do not understand how the indexing works.  Is the linking entirely derived from the files & directories when Swiki starts up, or is there something in the Smalltalk image that holds the indexing information?

I've tried going further back in time to other backups with no better luck.

I'm open for suggestions folks.  I wish things were as simple as you all describe, but that's just not what I'm seeing at this end.

I don't know why people are having problems with back-ups. The only thing 
you should need to do is move the backed-up swiki directory into the old 
location. If you want more advice, you will have to be much more concrete 
about the problem. Is there an error that happens? What exactly does your 
back-up feature do? I'd like to be more help here, put I can't.

As far as deleting pages, YOU CAN'T. You can however change a pages name 
and contents, thereby virtually deleting it. Simply edit it.

Peace and Luck!

I was wondering if there maybe was an answer to this question and I just 
missed it. I too am curious about how to do backups and restores and I am 
also still hoping someone can explain to me how to delete a page (all 
philosophy aside, people *do* make typos in links).

Thanks.

Alex.
