If the list of editions is empty than that is a bug I haven't run into yet. To be sure, when you go to the $:/ControlPanel -> Node Settings tab -> Available Wikis tab and then the click on the select widget the list of available editions is empty? The editions listed are listed directly in the tiddler, if the selection is empty than you have a modified version somehow. All the editions are packaged with the executable, the idea is for this part to be fully self-contained.
The list below that is the list of wikis it is currently serving, so it would be empty if you haven't made any yet. When you use the new executable in the same place and the old one than it would open up the same IndexWiki you were using before so any settings would be preserved because it is the same wiki in the same way as updating node wouldn't change the wiki you use on it. If you are on windows you should use the windows path separators '\', but the paths may have to be relative to where you have the executable. For the moment this only supports node wikis, the multi-user part can't work on the single file version directly. My plan is to make a seamless way to add a single file wiki and edit it and then create a new single file wiki afterward but we aren't there yet. If what you listed in your post is all that is being output in the terminal than there is something else going on, it should say 'Serving on 0.0.0.0:8084' and then open up in a browser automatically. I am going to try and test on windows again to see if I can answer any of your questions, but it has been over a decade since I used windows so I am not sure how much help I can be here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
