I posted this question also a month ago on the dev forum, but unfortunately no reaction.

I have an existing wiki (schoolsplay.wikidot.com) that I want to update.
To get to work I take the train, but unfortunately I have no internet connection there (3G is way to expensive!)

I could get the vmimage working, but how can I use an existing wiki in it?
So getting the existing wiki into my machine?
And getting the updated wiki from my machine to wikidot.com?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

 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.

now I've this strange problems:

- DB_UserKarmaPeerBase.php not found at all (and on the server it doesn't exist!)
- some strange behavior with image rendering with FF3 on OSX. (but it's a secondary problem)
- no third-level domain creating on the the system (nor databases, folders and so on).

how can I have a working wikifarm like wikidot.com if wikidot itself doesn't create third levels? there is something else to do i've missed?
why my wikidot permit users to set-up their own wikis and then doesn't create it?

thanks all of you for the help and sorry for my bad english…. :-(

All went well!

But when I tried to access the site, it said "The site does not exist."

Can anyone help?

BTW it is only Home Network….

Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 Server at www.sadlynotworkingwiki.com Port 8081

Any ideas?

Note I am a noob.

I have tried clearing my browser's cache, stopping and starting apache and postgresql, and rebooting the server. Nothing seems to work.

The first time it happens was after I got my initial install working. Trying to log in as the super-admin was giving me the same issue. With all of the other problems I was having at that time trying to get the site working, I can't remember what I did that finally allowed me to log in.

Is there some table I can clear out in the postgresql database to jumpstart things?

I plan on doing a clean install from scratch again this weekend to see if I can document the complete process of getting a local, private wikidot server up and running. I'll know then if this login issue is repeatable.

Thanks to everyone for your help. In spite of some issues, this has been a great learning experience!

When I enter the web folder where the index file is placed, I'm met with this errormessage:

Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\www\wikidot\conf/GlobalProperties.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\wikidot\php\setup.php on line 43

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\wamp\www\wikidot\conf/GlobalProperties.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\wikidot\php\setup.php on line 43

Haven't tried installing online yet, but will soon.

In the Configure PostgreSQL section, I believe there is a typo:

psql wd < files/dump.sql
should be
psql wd1 < files/dump.sql
I got a "database does not exist" error and guessed the database name, not the user name, needed to be in that command.

In the Configure Wikidot section, you say to "Edit GlobalProperties to fit desired settings…"
Can you add instructions for a novice on how to launch an editor, make changes, save and exit the editor? As I said, I'm a total novice! ;)

I installed Ubuntu 7.10 server on an extra PC on my home network for testing. When I try to hit the web server with my internal IP address (192.168.0.108) all I get is a "The site does not exist." line in my browser. This is not a "Page Not Found" error. it appears I'm hitting the Apache server, but something is missing or broken in my configuration.

I suspect that my inability to figure out how to edit the GlobalProperties may be contributing to my problem.

Since I blindly followed the guide without having much of a clue of what was really happening, I tried installing the Wikidot version of xdiff to see if that would help (it didn't). I think there is a typo in those instructions as well.

pecl remove xdiff
returned an error for me. I had to use:
pecl uninstall xdiff
to uninstall xdiff.

I think I'm pretty close to having a functioning setup. Can anyone provide a few more details or things I can check to get me over the hump?

Thanks to everyone involved for making this project available!
