SID-00243: Installing Twiki into Ubuntu 8.10

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.1.2	Perl version:	5.10.0
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Ubuntu 8.10	Last update:	16 years ago

Hi,

I have successfully installed Twiki on Ubuntu 8.10. I have now the basic setup done, just one user for testing the process. I installed it using the Synaptic app manager.

Now I just got a brand new drive added to the system. I would like to keep the OS in one drive and the all the twiki stuff in the new drive (not only data and pub folders).

The Synaptic installation scattered the twiki files all around the main drive, i.e. not a main Twiki folder available to be moved.

So...

How can I do the installation so that all the Twiki stuff goes to the new drive? Can I modify the existing installation? Or do I need to completely uninstall what I have now and just get the file from the twiki site and do everything manually?

Thanks.

Discussion and Answer

It should be possible to move all TWiki folders under one roof on your new drive. Fix /etc/httpd/conf.d/twiki.conf to point to the new pub and bin location. Rename twiki/lib/LocatSite.cfg and recreate it by running the configure script in your browser.

For reference, here is the directory structure below the twiki root in a default install:

bin
data
lib
locale
pub
templates
tools
