Upgrade of this site from DokuWiki, 2005 Aug 15

Due to the small size of the site and the differences in Wiki formatting, the site was manually copied from the edit screen of the old wiki to the edit screen of the new one, then manually cleaned up.

Pages imported include:

There were two "orphaned" pages in the old DokuWiki version of this site, imported and linked here:

Some lessons learned:

  • First, I installed the wiki somewhere else, imported the docs, then tried to move the wiki. It did not work. Links to docs used the old directory root. Changing the two relevant parameters in LocalSettings.php ($IP and $wgScriptPath) did fix it. Specifically, I installed it under another domain I'll call test.com. The test version was 
 http://test.com/mcmc_mediawiki/

The place I wanted it to be eventually (but couldn't get to work after just moving it) was 

 http://mcmcpack.wustl.edu/wiki/

However, if I start with it at 

 http://test.com/wiki/

This is because the problem had to do with where under the document root the liks were pointing. I should be able to continue ot use a test domain for the conversion process as long as the path from the document root is the same as it will be in the final installation.

  • Converting the docs can take time, so stop editing on the source site while this is going on. To disable logging into a DokuWiki, go to /conf/users.auth and remark out (#) the users other than the single account you're using to view the source that you're copying.
