Old server: version 0.19.1, SQLite3, Mac OS 10.5
New server: version 0.19.5, MySQL, Linux Debian
That was the plan. Use rake to migrate and change the database yaml, that should do it right? That didn’t work. The version 0.19.5 does not have mysql driver. Installing the mysql.rb was a pain. Between rvm, gem, and bundler, mysql.rb is not recognized. I don’t care if this runs on mysql or sqlite.
So a different approach was taken. A week later I don’t recognize the webpages I was following.
- Installed instiki from git
- sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev swig libsqlite3-ruby1.8 flex bison
- Ran bundler somewhere here, I don’t know if this was necessary or helpful.
- Exported the old wiki as textile.
- Imported the content into a new wiki.
- Minor edits of the page names, namely ‘+’ were inserted into the titles.
Currently Instiki is running on WEBrick and stored in SQLite.
