Question

I changed the name of my Main Web, thinking that any links to it would also be updated. However, now even as TWikiAdmin, I can't change it back, all the users have question marks with them, permission problems, the list goes on and on. Needless to say, I can't revert the web back to Main.

Is there a way to this?

If there is none? How can I backup and restore my other webs.

ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

backup and restore is just a matter of saving the pub and data directories - all of your data is in the file system.

to move the Main web back, you can use that info to...

cd twiki/data
mv NewMain Main
cd ../pub
mv NewMain Main

presuming that you moved it to NewMain

there is onother option however.

I presume that when you moved Main web you didn't change the MAINWEB setting in configure... do that and you may well have the setup you desire.
