I added new content (hole hierarchy of directories and files) to my pretty new installed twiki. I copied it under /var/www/twiki/pub/data

But now I do not know how can I navigate through this content from twiki

I am running a linux box with he following features

Ubuntu 9.10 - Karmic Koala

Linux sanitized-laptop 2.6.31-22-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 27 02:41:03 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am using Firefox V.3.5.9

Thanks

Discussion and Answer

Assuming you have a web called Engineering, mv from old/twiki/data/Engineering/ to /var/www/twiki/data/ to become /var/www/twiki/data/Engineering/. Do the same for old/twiki/pub/Engineering/ to get /var/www/twiki/pub/Engineering/. Make sure directories and files are owned by webserver user.

See details in TWikiUpgradeGuide, see also HowToMigrateWikiBetweenServers, MigratingDataFrom1TwikiTo2Twiki, HowToRestoreFromBackup, MoveInstallationToOtherMachine, HowToMoveTwikiData, RelocatingTwikiSite.

Hi Peter,

thanks for the answer but I am still lost. I copied the data but still I dont know how to see it from browser. Do I need to configure a file to point to my data?? is it that I need to write something on the browser address bar ? Please consider that this is my first contact with a wiki, apache etc...

thanks Luis

Where did it exist originally and what method did you use to copy it. Was it on an old Twiki?

Hi John!!

this is the content we usually install on our office server but because I am always travelling I need it on my linux box in my laptop so I can access the documentation when needed no matter which country I am working in each week.

So a colleague sent me a compressed file with twiki content (it has the whole route /data/whatever and /pub/whatever so I install twiki on my linux box and copied the content.

My linux box had the following directory hierarchy when I installed it /var/www/twiki/pub and under this pub directory there exist data, another pub, _default, Main, Sandbox, TWiki, _work_areas

copied all data content I need to visualize under /var/www/twiki/data (I created this data under twiki because it didnt existed when I first installed twiki) and also to /var/www/twiki/pub/data

and I also copied all pub content under /var/www/twiki/pub/pub

but still cant see any content that I copied on my firefox navigator

I have also another problem. I created an account when I first installed twiki. But when I click on "Log in" I get the following error:

****************************************************************************************** Access Denied Attention

Access check on Main failed. Action "viewauth": authentication required.

****************************************************************************************** I was able to use this account I created the first day I created it. The user created appears on the list of users, so it is really strange, I tried also to reset password .... etc...

by the way the method is cp -R /source path /target path

and after I did a chown -R www-data:www-data /target path to make sure that the proper user owns the content added

thanks Luis

TWiki has now an easy point & click solution to upgrade TWiki with the help of the BackupRestorePlugin.
