Hi list. After Instiki suddenly refused to run as a daemon and my upgrade to instiki-ar failed at script/create_db I tried out Pimki, sadly it refused to recognise my storage from the old instiki installation. So, I went back to instiki (which when not run as a daemon screwed up the textile markup), exported everything as textile and started importing it all by hand into Pimki, but the textile markup isn''t properly working in Pimki either. Most of it seems to work, but the main issue seems to be newlines not being converted into paragraph tags, this in turn screws up lists and stuff. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? It''s driving me up the wall. Setup: Rails 1.0 Ruby 1.8.2 RedCloth 3.0.4 Instiki 0.10.2 Pimki 1.8.092 All on a Debian server. Thanks.

The only way in the future to bring them across is through export-import.> So, I > went back to instiki (which when not run as a daemon screwed up the > textile markup), exported everything as textile and started importing it > all by hand into Pimki, but the textile markup isn''t properly working in > Pimki either. > > Most of it seems to work, but the main issue seems to be newlines not > being converted into paragraph tags, this in turn screws up lists and > stuff. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? It''s driving me up the wall.RedCloth has flipped the newlines behaviour between each patch release. For RedCloth 3.0.4 try the latest Pimki2 from CVS. (You could also use it to import the whole exported zip file, but I''m guessing this bit of advice is too late ;-). Just checkout annonymously or grab the tarball: http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pimki2.tar.gz?root=pimki&view=tar HTH, Assaph
Thanks a lot Assaph, I''ll give Pimki2 a try when I get back into the office. I like the look of the features of Pimki and that import of the whole zip file sounds awesome!

You could try Instiki-AR again - I know it works as I currently have it running a wiki on freebsd. I assume you grabbed instiki-ar straight out of subversion? If so, the script/create_db will no longer work - Rails Migrations now take the role of creating the database. You will first need to make sure that the database.yml file exists in config/ (let me know if you need this as it''s not presently in trunk). Then, in the instiki-ar directory, run rake migrate to get the database created. That should be all you need to get up and running. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks for the help Chris. rake migrate did indeed set up my databases but sadly when I ran instiki-ar I got a blank page. For the record though, Pimki2 was a breeze to set up and the import of the old data worked almost flawlessly (I say almost because there were + symbols replacing the spaces in the page titles so the links didn''t work, editing the titles to put the spaces back fixed everything though). Nice work Assaph. -Andy Chris Roos wrote:> You could try Instiki-AR again - I know it works as I currently have it > running a wiki on freebsd. > > I assume you grabbed instiki-ar straight out of subversion? > > If so, the script/create_db will no longer work - Rails Migrations now > take the role of creating the database. > > You will first need to make sure that the database.yml file exists in > config/ (let me know if you need this as it''s not presently in trunk). > > Then, in the instiki-ar directory, run rake migrate to get the database > created. > > That should be all you need to get up and running. > > Let me know if you have any problems. > > Chris > >
