Re: [Phpwiki-talk] help?

Hi Marjorie. I'm very sorry about the trouble you had recently. :-(

You are right that version 1.2 is lacking in documentation, esp. wrt
administration. Here's how to get a zip copy of the wiki pages:

First, go to the directory where PhpWiki is installed and edit admin.php.
There is a spot in there to set the login and password for the
administrator:

<?php // $Id: admin.php,v 1.5 2000/11/13 10:59:27 ahollosi Exp $

   function rcs_id($id) {}   // otherwise this gets in the way

   define('WIKI_ADMIN', true);	// has to be before includes

   include("lib/config.php");
   include("lib/stdlib.php");

   // set these to your preferences. For heaven's sake
   // pick a good password!
   $wikiadmin   = "";
   $adminpasswd = "";

Set these to whatever you want, like "admin" and "itsasecret".

Now you want to go to your Wiki in your browser, but to admin.php:

http://yourhost.yourdomain/path-to-wiki/admin.php

You should be prompted for the login/password you just set. Once that's
done, go to FindPage, type "admin" into the title search and that should
pull up PhpWikiAdministration for you.

Here you can get two kinds of zip dumps of the Wiki pages: the latest
versions and a dump with all archived versions as well. Just click the
link and your browser should ask you where to save the zip file.

Let me know it that works for you. Also, did you post your problems with
mysql here? Most of the people on the list are Mysql wizzards and should
be able to pinpoint the problem.
