I have absolutely no idea about glade, so can't help you there. But, here's what you can try with the MoinMoin Wiki. (Do make a backup of the database and all the files before trying this, as I've never worked with MoinMoin, but have a decent experience with Wordpress and Gallery2. This technique is recommended to all similar php based softwares) 1. Ubuntu packages these php based sites as a deb, and doesn't upgrade them to their latest package, as their release cycles are quite different from Ubuntu's. Hence, you might not have the latest version in your previous install. 2. Upgrade the wiki to the latest major and minor release versions. You could either download the incremental upgrade packages, or get the latest package and use its builtin upgrade page (if there are major changes, you might not be able to use the second step. incremental upgrades might be the only way). The docs will specify how to upgrade from the latest package, but it mostly involves copying the latest files from the tarball into the website directory, and then opening the install/upgrade page, and following the instructions there. 3. After you have the site up-to-date, dump the database and all the data directories, or use the built in export/import tools (Wp has one, Gallery AFAIK doesn't, MoinMoin must be having one). 4. On the new server, get the latest package (preferably from the tarball, and not the deb, as the debs do lag by a few weeks often). Unzip it to the final location, and - import the database and copy the data directories, and open up the site. It _should work_ most of the times. - if you have a import/export tool, follow the regular install procedure of the site, and then after it's over, import the data. :) Do remember, while doing all this, plugins can break the site. So, before dumping the database and the data directories, disable all but the most important plugins, update the important ones to the latest version, and install the exact same copy on to the new server. After your site is online, you can go on re-activating the plugins :). If you need more help, you can look up the documentation at Wordpress, MoinMoin, phpBB and Codex Gallery. They have excellent guides for upgrading and server shifting :). Ninad S.
