SID-02070: Migrated from 4.2.4 to 6.0.1 and users are all red

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	ActivePerl-5.20.2.2001-MSWin32-x64-298913
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Windows Server 201	Last update:	11 years ago

I have followed the instructions for upgrading my wiki from version 4.2.4 to version 6.0.1.

I copied the TWikiUsers file, TWikiAdminGroup file and the HTPassword file to the new wiki, but this has not populated my users.

I then manually edited the TWikiUsers topic in the new wiki with the text from the old wiki's topic, but now all the users are listed in red.

I am presuming this could have something to do with file permissions, as all of the user topics are present in the /Data/Main folder and the HTPassword file.

I am running TWiki on Windows server 2012, using Apache 2.4 and ActivePerl 5.20 64 bit version.

I would appreciate any help i can get with this, as i can see that i am almost there, but not quite!!

Discussion and Answer

You need also copy over all user profile pages to the Main web. Please note though that the user profile page layout changed. Newly registered users will get the new layout.

Peter,

That is the strange thing, as I copied over all of the users profile pages from the old server (Data/Main) to the new server at the same time as I copied the TWikiUsers and TwikiAdminGroup topics, so I don't understand why this is not working.

Peter,

I figured out what I had done wrong finally with fresh eyes this morning. I had some of my config entries, especially the DATA folder pointing to a different TWIKI installation, as I have multiple on this server, so the Wiki was not picking up on all the files that I had copied over.

Thanks for your help.
