SID-01467: Combine 2 Twikis

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.1	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	REH6	Last update:	13 years ago

We have 2 departments that created their own TWikis and I would like to combine them into one. The added complication is that one of them created all their content in the Main web. I'd like to combine these and rename/move the contents of the main web to an approprietly named web for that department. We also dealign with different versions;

-Source Twiki1: TWiki-4.2.4 on Debian 5

-Source Twiki2: TWiki-4.2.3 on Solaris 9 (i think)

-Destination Twiki: TWiki-5.1.1 on REH6.2

The Twiki on Solaris is the one with all the contents in the main web.

Discussion and Answer

• Do fresh install of TWiki
• Copy Main web of Twiki2 to new web, example Mobile:
  • cp -pr twiki2/data/Main /var/www/twiki/data/Mobile
  • cp -pr twiki2/pub/Main /var/www/twiki/pub/Mobile
• Do one of:
  • Delete user profile pages in Mobile web, and re-register all users (preferred so that you get new profile format)
  • Move user profile pages from Mobile web to Main web
• Do the same for Twiki1 in case there is non-user profile page in the Main web
