Thank you Petko. I had gone about this backwards it seems. All working
now.
One question - the new version does not include rss.php in the scripts
folder, but when I took it out of my installation, the wikipages had
error
messages at top indicating this file was not found. I simply re-added
it,
which seems to have solved that issue, but wondered if there is another
way
I should have addressed this or any longer term issues with rss.php.
The new core file with RSS functions is scripts/feeds.php. See this
page:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebFeeds
My advice is to disable rss.php which is no longer supported and use
feeds.php.
Next task is more complex - I have an old installation - 2.0 - on
another
site and need to either update it or simply remove it (the wiki
contents
are obsolete) and install new. The object will be to receive contents
of
another wiki of about the same generation that went offline when the
host
site went offline (complicated story, but it boils down to funding
ending
for the project that sponsored it).
I'm tempted just to start fresh with a new installation and hope the
wiki-d
files work.
Yes, this would be my way to do it.
Or would it make more sense to import wiki.d, config, and skin,
and then do an update from 2.0? Any advice or experience of others
would be appreciated.
Have backups in case something breaks.
I'd fresh install the latest version of PmWiki and the wiki.d pages.
On the first run, PmWiki will likely prompt you to accept some updates
(moving pages) -- accept them. See what works, what doesn't -- read
Upgrades and ReleaseNotes. Get the latest versions of all recipes/skins
you used and enable them one after another to see if there are warnings
or errors. Your original skin might still work, or you may have to add
some markers in it like <!--HTMLHeader-->; if you cannot make the old
skin work, maybe try another skin.
If you have any difficulty, tell us and we'll help you.
