1. Is going to http://mysite.com/midgard/midcom-admin/ the correct way to determine if the install is good ?

midcom-admin doesn't exist any more AFAIK, I would suggest a two-level approach: First check mysite/spider-admin, this will tell you if Midgard is running ok, next try mysite/__mfa/asgard/, which should give you access to the new management interface. mysite/midcom-exec-midcom/config-test.php can also be informative, it tests some settings needed by MidCOM
/spider-admin comes up just fine as does the site I'm trying to replicate in the first place. Both __mfa/asgard/ and midcom-exec-midcom/config-test.php are returning 404s.

Just to clarify: There needs to be a host defined and set up for MidCOM in order for this to work. In a fresh DB, the recommended way is AFAIK to set up a new site with sitewizard (although I have to add that personally, I was never able to persuade it to produce any working site, and have always resorted to copying the needed elements from already working sites).

But if I understood your post correctly, you have a running midcom site under http://url, right? If you login (with http://url/midcom-login-), do you see the toolbar?

BTW: You mentioned that you upgraded from 2.4 originally. Did you run the upgrade script (called migrate_26.php in the support folder)? I remember it took me something like three weeks to figure all the details out, so I'm kind of surprised (and jealous :-) to hear the conversion went so smoothly for you (underlying theory: Is the site maybe still running 2.4 without telling you for some reason? Do you see the version number somewhere in the rendered output, like f.x. in the meta tag generator in html head?).



2. How can I go about cleaning up the mess that I now have on my hands ? Is there a way to uninstall MidCOM and
   then do a clean install ?

With pear packages you have pear uninstall, but other stuff has to be cleaned manually I guess (but I don't think it would interfere with your install to keep the files around. I might be wrong, though...)
That's what I was wondering about, will doing a pear uninstall be sufficient ? In particular, is there stuff in the midgard database itself that would need to be cleaned out ? Below this reply is a list of all of the current midcom packages I have installed. Would I want to remove and re-install ALL of them ? Or remove them all and then use
datagard to do the re-install ?

Again, my experience with Midgard/MidCOM wizards was not the best so far, instead I usually follow this:

http://blogs.nemein.com/people/piotras/view/midgard-1-8---pear-issues-on-debian-stable.html

for installation (it's a bit dated now, but mostly still valid). The -f switch on the pear command line overwrites the installed package, so you shouldn't have to uninstall them first manually.

3. Maybe the most important question of all: Will MidCOM replicate all Midgard elements (pages, styles, snippets ) or
just MidCOM components ?

I tested it just briefly (I'll have to implement it for a site next month, and I'm already having nightmares about that), but as far as I can tell, everything is replicated.
That's a relief !!

Thanks very much for your help.

Bye, and good luck!
