Well, I can go to /midgard, where I initially get "Site Initialization missing". I click on Proceed to Initialization and that seems to go just fine. Then I click on "Back to Site Administration", which brings me to the "MidCOM CMS Site Administration" screen. It is when I click on the "Content Authoring and Site Administration" link (/midgard/midcom-admin/ais/) that I see the error in my log about midcom.admin.content.

But if you see AIS, you're most definitely on 2.4, this doesn't exist in later versions. Have you tried outputting the value of the MIDCOM_ROOT constant? It should point to the location of your pear install. You can define it in the code-init page element:

if(!defined('MIDCOM_ROOT')) {
    define('MIDCOM_ROOT','/usr/share/php/midcom/lib');
}


Maybe I am completely in the wrong place. /midgard was pretty much the only entry in the host table (other than my sites). Though I just also found that there is a host for /midgard-sitewizard. When I try to access this page, I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'midcom_baseclasses_components_request_admin' not found in /usr/share/pear/midcom/lib/midgard/admin/sitewizard/admin.php on line 16

If I do end up needing to manually add the host records, how will I know what root and style to use ? What are the names of the site and style in midgard itself. I can
use Aegir to find them and grab the IDs.

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?
/midcom-login gives me a 404.

There has to be a dash at the end, but I think the problem is simply wrong version.


  /midgard/midcom-login take me through the
same initialization stuff I mentioned above.  No 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?).
I did not explicitly run midgard_26.php. Would that have been called when I ran the update option in datagard ?

Yes, datagard doesn't really care about the installed midcom version. there's an article here that mentions most of the things that need to be done to get to 2.6:

http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/upgrading-midcom-from-2-4-to-2-6/

once you've achieved that, here's the continuation (also not entirely complete):

http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/upgrading_midcom_from_2-6_to_2-8/


But for this, you have to be able to access the migration exec methods, so you have to use the correct midcom.php before starting.


Bye,

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.

Thanks, I'll give this a try.

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.

Martin



Bye, and good luck!
