Instiki users - Jun 2005 - [Instiki] Moving Contents from one instiki to the other?

Hi,

In my enthusiasm, I started two different instiki''s, say instiki-a and 
instiki-b on two different hosts,

Both of the above instiki''s are running one "web" each. Say
web-1 on instiki-a
and web-2 on instiki-b.

Realising this is a redundant set up I want to move one of the webs, say web-2 
from instiki-b to insiki-a.

My first naive urge was to simply copy over the contents from the storage 
directory and over. Then I started looking at the code, realising I will need 
to understand atleast a bit about rails before I do anything meaningful. Thus 
this mail.

Is it possible to premanently move contents of a "web" from one
instiki to
another? The move should alllow the moved web to still act as a wiki.

Would appreciate any help.

Regards

Kulpreet

The storage directory contains snapshots of the data for the whole
service. Services are linked to the TCP/IP port number they run on,
and each service may contain several wikis.

I you just need it on one machine, you can copy over the sub-directory
(with the port number) to machine a, name it as a different number,
and access it on a different port (e.g. http://instiki-a:2501/ instead
of http://instiki-a:2500/ for the original wiki-a).

A better solution is to export the web from instiki-b as
textile/markdown and import it back into a new web on the instiki-a
machine.
You should first create a new web (go to ''edit web'' and near
the
bottom there''s a link to crate a new web) and then import the exported
web into this one. Automatic imports are there, but disables, in
Instiki 0.10.x. You either need to hack the source to enable them
(look at the list archives on how to do this) or you can do this
manually by recreating the pages from their content in the zip file.

My problem on setting up a multiple web still remains.

I do not want to create another instance of the process or bind to more than I 
port.

To achieve the same, when I try and "create a web" from the "Edit
Web" page,
the interface runs smoothly and comes back to the homepage for the old web. 
There is no confirmation for the creation of the new web, further I only see 
the following in the logs -

Then I try and put the "/testing/show/HomePage" in my location bar to
see if I
can get to the new web. I only get a message saying "no such web". I
see the
following in the log.

This makes me ask the question, is the multiple web feature truly supported?

Home is where .emacs is

As far as I can see, the only thing that will cause the below listed
redirection is a failure to authenticate with the system password.
Since I can create new webs just fine, I have to ask: are you sure you
entered the right password?
This should be the password to the whole system, the one you set when
you first created the service, not the edit password for the web.
