Thanks! I kept track of the conversations on the google group page and rolled back to revision 39 this morning and now everything is working great!

lcc…Since it was a new install, I actually deleted the files and redid the wikidot install using 'svn checkout -r 39' to get revision 39, and everything seems to be working fine. When I tried 'svn update -r 39', I had all kinds of permission errors for overwriting files which is why I switched to that method. Hope that helps.

I had struggled for a while to install wikidot on Fedora Core 9 and yesterday gave up and installed Ubuntu 8.04. Most of the installation guide went fine, although I did have to play around with the postgresql setup. Is it possible that this problem is related to that?

As written, the Ubuntu local install works well, but I had issues with Postgresql when I used aptitude rather than apt-get to install the packages. I found that aptitude installs 100+ more MB of applications than apt when installing the Ubuntu Desktop. It includes Postfix among other things that apt does not load. I haven't confirmed this, but I think that Postfix creates some kind of conflict with Postgresql. It's been a while, but I remember having to edit the Postgrresql config file to make it listen on the correct port or tell it explicitly to use 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost".

If you get a good working install I stumbled upon a slick program that will back up your installation to a bootable/live CD/DVD and preserve virtually all of your settings. It's called remastersys (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html). Be sure to read the comments to make sure you grab it from the right repository. The live CD works (sort-of), but has issues with themes and ajax stuff. You can make an iso image as a "backup" or "dist"(ributable) disk. The difference is that the "backup" image preserves any user accounts you set up. The only real tweaking you have to do after installing either image is to reconfigure the /etc/hosts file. It's pretty cool. I envision this as a great way to distribute "Wikidot in a Box".

I hope to have some time in the next couple of days to try another "clean" install. In the meantime, you may want to check out this info I got from Gabrys on the developers Google Groups discussion forum: http://groups.google.com/group/wikidot/browse_thread/thread/124f51e1f92136c0?hl=en

It sounds like we may want to stick with some prior revisions (I would guess somewhere around rev 195) until they get everything sorted out.

I'm not new to web programming (although I'm by no mean an expert), but this is my first attempt with the server-side of wikis.

Sorry it took so long for me to catch that (if that is indeed the cause of your issue).

 GRANT ALL ON ts2.pg_ts_cfg, ts2.pg_ts_cfgmap, ts2.pg_ts_parser, ts2.pg_ts_dict TO wd; 

I get:

 ERROR: relation "ts2.pg_ts_cfg" does not exist 

I understand that the tables are in a different place. I have also manually changed ownership of those tables to wd to no avail. Am I missing something here? Why am I not able to log in? I can get the VMware dev image working just fine. Has something changed since 137?

At first blush, it appears that quite a few things have been taken care of and improved with the latest version compared to the version I'm running on my production machine at work (went live back in late March / early April).

Thanks to all of the developers for the hard work! It's very cool that Wikidot Version 1 is still being improved while Version 2 is in full development mode.

Although, Ed, you've certainly proved to me that you have quite a bit of mastery. Or maybe you're a Google ninja like many of us. Anyways, I could not have gotten to login screen without your published research. Thanks.

You're welcome. I like the term Google ninja! I'm do rely heavily on Google to find answers when I'm stuck. I used your guide yesterday to try to set up a working system with Unbuntu 8.04 and was able to log in OK as admin, but when I created a new "sandbox" wiki it showed that I wasn't logged in and all attempts to login to that site failed. I did stay logged in to the "master" site, however. I didn't have time to dig, so I'm not sure what the deal is yet.

I think I'm going to wipe my test server and try again from scratch and do a better job of documenting my steps this time.

Stay tuned!

I'm using Postgresql 8.3 and I've checked and all pg_ts_* tables are owned by wd. I'm still getting the error. Are there additional considerations with version 8.3? As Michal pointed out, the tables are now in the pg_catalog schema.

As I am, like Ed states, a bit of a noob to some of this, I'm following the Wiki quite literally (cut/paste) without fully understanding the underlying logic. Although, Ed, you've certainly proved to me that you have quite a bit of mastery. Or maybe you're a Google ninja like many of us. Anyways, I could not have gotten to login screen without your published research. Thanks.

The Ubuntu 8 system that I am using is not virtual (is nonvirtual a word? Oddly, it could be.) so it's a bit harder to roll back changes. I'll do the next install on a VM and take copious snapshots. But first, perhaps someone has a different set of psql commands for 8.3 that work?

hope this help.
