 Thanks for all the responses. Just copying over the folders

   Thanks for the responses. I will try it out and get back if I
run into issues :) But, I would also want to preserve the history of
changes . I guess it uses CVS or somthing similar(I see a folder named
"attic" in the dir). So,  when I copy the folder, will that also get
preserved ? Thanks

Doesn't dokuwiki just consist of flat files? It should just involve
copying the data folder, whatever the correct name is, to the new
wiki. And then whatever else you want to copy over, everything should
be in the respective files.

[Ilugc] Help needed with Dokuwiki migration

2012-04-05 Thread Balachandran Sivakumar
Hi,

 We have been using Dokuwiki for our internal documentation.
Now, we are moving to a new server and would want to migrate the data
in the wiki. I am aware of a backup plug-in. But that doesn't let me
restore the contents :). There is a round about way to untar-ing the
backup in proper paths. But, what is the suggested way to take a dump
and restore it on the new server? Thanks
