[Phpwiki-talk] Splitting up a wiki

[Yan S. <ya...@se...>]

I have a wiki that I administer for a group of folks.

Last fall, I needed to study for a test, so I threw some stuff 
(actually, a lot of stuff) into the wiki that's completely unrelated.  
At the time, I didn't have full control over the SQL server; now I do.

I'd like to split the wiki up into two pieces.

What's the best way to do that?

Two things to split:

1. The code for phpwiki. I have no idea what version you're running, but 
for 1.3.X versions there is source code out there to run multiple wikis 
from the same tree by simply replicating index.php (so you'd have 
http://.../wiki1.php and http://.../wiki2.php). Or you could simply copy 
the tree somewhere else.

2. The databases. I don't know what version you're running, or what DB, 
but with recent 1.3.X wikis for MySQL you can just fully copy the DB, 
and delete the relevant pages from each by logging in as admin and 
visiting each page and clicking "delete".

I'm running a fairly recent version.  1.3.2 maybe... I'll have to copy 
the tree; each part needs to go to a different web site.

I'm running MySQL 4.something....  OK, I think I have a few hundred 
pages....  I was hoping there was a way to prune the tree - lop off one 
of the two branches for each wiki...  But I guess my fingers need the 
exercise...  :-)
