That's a non-starter when the failed hardware is a PowerPC G4 Mac running OS X 10.3. No, I did not set this up. I just inherited the cleanup long after the person who did set it up had left. The real solution is: don't use wikis for static documents and web sites. This is another case of what I was railing about over databases and backups. An application should be no more complex than is absolutely necessary to do what it needs to accomplish. If Bill's server were a collection of static HTML files then we wouldn't need to have this discussion. Copy the files over to the new server, configure whatever virtual domains need to be configured, update the DNS records, copy user home directories if necessary, and done. Less than 30 minutes of actual work plus whatever time spent watching files being copied. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
