Hi Måns, Try again, it works. Update: I finally got Tiddlyweb 0.9.38 using a SQLite store to run under PortablePython (PP)2.5.4 like Perica and FND using FND's instructions as a guide: http://tiddlyweb.peermore.com/wiki/recipes/docs/tiddlers/Installing%20on%20Windows I mispoke/mistaken when I got Tiddlyweb running in PP2.6.1. Since I had twanager already installed on desktop Windows and Mac, it really isn't truly portable. The real test is having the whole thing run from some internet cafe machine that doesn't have anything; just what is on the removable drive. The kicker was I tried using Python 2.5 like in the instructions, but that mirror is empty: http://elvis.rowan.edu/mirrors/portablepython/v1.1/PortablePython1.0.zip PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4 is what is needed: http://www.portablepython.com/releases/ Install PP After I ran the installer, I saved the PP to C:\Portable/ PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4 Now this installs PP to my desktop Get tiddlyweb then I downloaded the tiddlyweb distribution to C:\Portable then I cheated and did a tar xvzf from cygwin to unpack the tiddlyweb distro (no 7-zip on hand) Get tiddlyweb dependencies (follow FND instructions) Tip: Adding the TiddlyWeb dependencies, I made sure to use: easy_install-script.py as there are many versions of "easy_install" Make a Tiddlyweb instance: Win-R then 'cmd' got the DOS prompt then ran the C:\Portable \PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4\App\python.exe C:\Portable \tiddlyweb-0.9.38\twanager instance wiki (wiki is my instance name) Tip: it was tough doing all that tab completion in DOS sometimes you might want to do blah/blah/python.exe blah/blah/twanager to see that is the right path when it spits out the help. Switching between cygwin and dos windows to get the paths straight was dizzying. Anyway >cd wiki then start the server as usual: blah/blah/twanager server localhost 8080 After I got tired of tab completion, i threw it into a batch file (don't mind the E:\ that is my USB drive) Here's the start_server.bat file: @ECHO OFF REM - change the drive letter to suit your own E:\Portable\PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4\App\python.exe E:\Portable \tiddlyweb-0.9.39\twanager server 127.0.0.1 8080 After I got it working on the desktop at C: (confirm saving to a recipe of system+bag), I then moved the whole C:\Portable to my USB drive at E: and changed the drive letter on the bat file. Be patient, it took a long time. I then tried for sql store copying the sqlstore plugins sql.py and migrate.py into my instance, wiki then updating the tiddlywebconfig.py to first migrate the plain text store --> sqlite.db with twanager migrate then edit the tiddlywebconfig.py again to use sql store eg 'server_store': ['sql', {'db_config': 'sqlite:///wiki.db'}], see the sqlstore tester thread for the config: http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWikiDev/browse_thread/thread/b1bdf6cb981b4bcc?hl=en Don't make the mistake I did initially using tiddlyweb-0.9.39 which just came out today, June 12 tiddlyweb-0.9.39 works only for the plain text store when I tried from sql store I got a mismatch thread error everyplace I tried. (I was previously successful at the local, shared and USB drives) Ha! I tried downgrading easy_install tiddlyweb==0.9.38 only to forget that I didn't use easy_install to install tiddlyweb! Had to redownload dist, then unpack 0.9.38 Install sqlalchemy! I forgot to do it at C: so I just did it in E: with E:\Portable/ PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4/App/Scripts\easy_install-script.py sqlalchemy it still works. Tip: you don't need the sqlite, but I don't know why. I downloaded the win binary exe just in case, also to learn. I say, it took a lot of trial and error, but finally seeing the thing work independently from within the drive was satisfying. Positive results on: WinXP GoogleChrome, FF3.011 I was so excited I tried it under Linux only to forget that PP is Windows only ;-\ another time Many fav tiddlywiki plugins work like Udo's YourSearch and you can access local links under Firefox addon: http://locallink.mozdev.org/ Even though TiddlyWeb has no Revisions or Diff Plugin and my wiki.db will still bulk up in the revisions table, this is a near holy grail of tiddlywebwiness, a reusable non-linear personal web notebook + self- contained offline backend. Thanks to Chris, FND, Perica, Jeremy et al.
