[Phpwiki-talk] Future? You wont wait? Convertertip

[Jens D. <web...@pi...>]

Hi,

sorry, but atm i cant see some future for phpwiki. I know that we have
summer and Reini make some holidays.
We make y step to mediawiki.
You need this script:
http://www.iwilcox.me.uk/2005/07/php2mediawiki/

AND you need php on commandline and a little bit of time. Without php
commandline you can forget to convert.
Take the script and let it run after editing.
go to /wiki/maintenance
run php update.php / rebuildall.php
after this you have a working mediawiki (we have it), try not the latest
beta try 1.4.7.
After this you have some ??Handwork??. Check Links (Wikiwords and so on),
you have to Upload your Uploads again.
If you are german, you need a scripter :-). Some "ü" or "ä" signs are ?
after converting.

Dont no, if you try it we can help us self and make the script better.
Sorry to the phpwiki-Fans all over the world, but somebody like to switch
and dont no how.

Its not a perfect converter, but for small Wikis or good scripter it will
be easy to switch.

Regards

I'm not making holidays. I'm busy working in the Formula I racing 
business for the next seasons engines.
Besides that PhpWiki is still technically "better" than mediawiki.

better than other?

what i can say is that my company is on the outside mirror of an Mercedes
;)

Regards and i hope you have fun (it must be a hard work there)

Hello Jens,

does the converter also convert RichTablePlugin? Nearly every Page out=20
of our 14.000 pages does use this plugin.

[Phpwiki-talk] Installation: /tmp issues

[Jolly G. G. <jgg...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm new.  I read the readme's.  I copied the files up to my web
server ( Widnows box :-( ).  I then went to the main index.php page
and got the following error...

WikiFatalError
Cannot open database 'wiki' : '/tmp/wikipagesdb', giving up.
PHP Warning: dba_open(/tmp/wikipagesdb,c-): Driver initialization
failed for handler: db3: No such file or directory in
D:\Webserver\cfjungle.com\www\phpwiki\lib\dbalib.php on line 58

I altered my config.php file by changing the default setting to this...
   $WhichDatabase =3D 'dba';

I"m on a shared hosted/rental server, and I don't have telnet
priviledges.  It's running PHP 4.3.something, so I should be okay
there.  I just downloaded the latest stable version from
sourceforge.net.

Should this app run by just copying files up, or is there some folder
permissions I need to change?  I think I may be able to change them
with my FTP program.

Also, I used my ftp program to check and see if the /tmp folder was
created.  It was not in the phpwiki directory.  Should it have been
there?

Thanks for any help, guys.

But the cleaner coding of PhpWiki doesn't really help the admin or 
user if there is some issue e.g. with a changed environment (Apache, 
Php).

Since several months I'm considering to start a new public Wiki, but 
I can't decide which one to use. There are not so many pages to 
convert from PhpWiki, so I could do the remaining cleanup also 
manually.

Several people reported that Mediawiki has some ugly coding, and I 
would like to have finer access control. Otherwise it would be my 
favourite candidate.

PmWiki seems to be also nice (and slim compared to PhpWiki!), has 
access control but I don't know how long it will be supported. 
Seemingly there are not many people working on it besides Patrick 
Michaud.

When I start a Wiki, I can't spend much time in administration, and I 
have to be sure that the information keeps accessible for a really 
long time.

Difficult...

[Jolly G. G. <jgg...@gm...>]

I just installed the current version of 1.3.x and I can use dba. My
configurator shows...
=20
"Supported handlers are: cdb,cdb_make,db3,inifile,flatfile"=20
=20
I pretty much know what flatfile is, but what is cdb and db3?=20
=20
flat file appeals to me because the files are more universal because
they are stored as text and can be copied and referenced without
PHPWiki if needed. I don't want to store my pages in some kind of
format where I can't open them unless PHPWiki is working, even if it
means sacrificing some features.

Thanks for any help!

P.S.  Sorry for the repost.  I forgot to change the subject, and I put
"can" instead of "can't use dba."

even if you change the subject, "Reply" is a bad idea, because it 
keeps the References: (or whatever) header and therefore could cause 
the mail/news client to display it in the original thread.

Better start a new clean thread.
