[Phpwiki-talk] Migration Script for Old Configurations

[Matt B. <ma...@ma...>]

Hi, 

As part of my work packaging PHPwiki for Debian I had to write a script
to migrate old index.php based configurations to the new config.ini
file. 

The script works reasonably well and handles most of the configuration
variables. The major omission is that it doesn't attempt to migrate
external authentication configuration at all (stuff like DB query
strings etc). 

It's written in perl (sorry) and takes a single command line argument
which is the path to a template file to use as the basis for the new
config.ini. Your old configuration should be fed to stdin and you'll get
the new configuration on stdout. 

The script can be found at
http://www.mattb.net.nz/patches/phpwiki/migrate-phpwiki-config

An example template configuration file is at
http://www.mattb.net.nz/patches/phpwiki/config-template.ini

There might be a little bit of Debian specific stuff there, but it
should be fairly general. 

Run the script without arguments for more detailed usage information. 

Not sure if anyone is still using old wikis or if you've all upgraded by
now, but maybe this will be of use to someone.

Cheers
