:) As there won't be updates to 1.5.x any more, you could also consider upgrading to 1.6.3 instead of upgrading to an already rather outdated version. > I have been looking at the documents (i looked into the CHANGES and > README.migration), but i could not get a straight forward solution to > this. Well, there is no magic "doallthework" script and the upgrade you are doing spans 4 years of moin development including 2 major upgrades (1.2 to 1.3, 1.5 to 1.6), so expect this to be quite some work. README.migration has the most important informations you need for converting your data directory. Read it (again), read it completely. You maybe have noticed that the recent stuff is at the beginning, while the older stuff is rather near the end of the file. You have to run all the "old" mig scripts. The final old script enables the new style mig scripts to work. Then you have to run the new style mig scripts. If you migrate an important production wiki, it is maybe a good idea to install the new wiki (for test purposes) to a different location first (other url, other code location, maybe using another machine), so you don't interfere with the old wiki running. Once you have done the migration, config changes etc. and have the new wiki up and running: test it for a while. Then do the real migration of the production wiki (you have experience now doing it and you can use the config files from the test wiki. just migrate the current data dir from the production wiki again). In case you encounter problems, ask concrete questions and maybe join us on #moin irc channel for support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
