    rheo - 2005-05-01

    I am trying to move my phpwiki.
    Previous version I believe is 1.3.2
    New version is: the latest RC3

    previous version was gdbm.. {wiki_pagedb.gdbm}
    new version is MySQL

    I exported the previous install to a zip
    I then attempt to import via the new install.

    I get these errors for every page:

    Uploading wikidb.zip

    040420Minutes
    from MIME file 040420Minutes content is identical to current version 1 - no new revision created
    040420Minutes
    from MIME file 040420Minutes has edit conflicts - skipped Sorry, cannot merge.
    040420Minutes
    from MIME file 040420Minutes has edit conflicts - skipped Sorry, cannot merge.
    040327Agenda
    from MIME file 040327Agenda content is identical to current version 1 - no new revision created
    040327Agenda
    from MIME file 040327Agenda has edit conflicts - skipped Sorry, cannot merge.

    ...

    Can anyone tell me why this might happen and a possible work around?

      i just deleted my database and rebuilt it.

      i tried it with just a snapshot and it seemed to work ok but didn't do the Home page.

      i'll let you know if i find other problems

        I also just migrated from a gdbm file to SQL db and had the same issues. If I tried to import a full dump, it imported only the first revision of a page and skipped all the updates leaving me with an extremely old wiki. I cleared the page table and imported again with a snapshot and that seems to have all of the current pages except it did not update the HomePage like rheo says.

      Thanks reminding me of his already reported issue (once in the mailinglist). It's not in the bugtracker so I forgot it.

      Is the problem merely noise or does it refuse to import all revisions?
      Is the old zip a fulldump (an archive with all revisions) or just a simple zip snapshot with the latest revision only?

      I'll investigate soon.

      thanks for replying so quickly

      The dump is a fulldump.

      now that you mention it.. it does seem to have imported most the pages correctly.

      one page i have noticed so far has a link with a question mark beside it but when i click the question mark rather than a blank page i see the expected imported page.

      the HomePage however does not appear to have been imported.
