Is there any other way of getting the data out of instiki? Is there a way of using the database script to export the data? Any help appreciated!

You will need the software to recreate the objects in memory before export. You can try and unzipping the snapshot file (zimple zip format), and opening the content in an editor in binary format. That should give you access to the contents of the pages, embedded in a lot of other binary junk. If all else fails, this may provide a last ditch access.> > > When I export, I get a file that won''t unzip.

Any ideas?I have only ever seen problems with the zip files under Windows (where I believe the problem is with the underlying zlib C library). I don''t have access to a mac here, but can you try other zip programs? Cheers, Assaph
Thanks Assaph, I had the same issue. Under the previous instiki version for OSX it worked fine. The file unzipped automatically on the desktop after export. In the latest version for OSX it doesn''t do that anymore. I am not a programmer so I don''t have a clue why. I''m just using the older version for now.
