I upgrades from 1.40 to 2.6.1. I ran "ikiwiki --setup" using my existing ikiwiki.setup configuration.
|
|
I had many errors like:
|
|
|
|
/home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/wikilink/index.html independently created, not overwriting with version from wikilink
|
|
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 129.
|
|
|
|
and:
|
|
|
|
failed renaming /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/smileys.ikiwiki-new to /home/bsdwiki/www/wiki/smileys: Is a directory
|
|
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 5) line 129.
|
|
|
|
Probably about six errors like this. I worked around this by removing the files and directories it complained about.
|
|
Finally it finished.
|
|

|
|
|
|
My next problem was that ikiwiki start letting me edit without any password authentication. It used to prompt
|
|
me for a password but now just goes right into the "editing" mode.
|
|
The release notes for 2.0 say password auth is still on by default.
|
|
|
|
> It sounds like you have the anonok plugin enabled?
|
|
|
|
>> Where is the default documented? My config doesn't have it uncommented.
|
|
|
|
The third problem is that when editing my textbox is empty -- no content.
|
|
|
|
This is using my custom rcs.pm which has been used thousands of times.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
>> Rebuilt it several times. Now that I think of it, I think my early problem of having
|
|
>> no content in the textbox was before I rebuilt the cgi. And after I rebuilt the whole webpage was empty.
|
|
|
|
Now I regenerated my ikiwiki.cgi again (no change to my configuration,
|
|
and I just get an empty HTML page when attempting editing or "create".
|
|
|
|
> If the page is completly empty then ikiwiki is crashing before it can
|
|
> output anything, though this seems unlikely. Check the webserver logs.
|
|
|
|
Now I see it created directories for my data. I fixed that by setting
|
|
usedirs (I see that is in the release notes for 2.0) and rerunning ikiwiki --setup
|
|
but I still have empty pages for editing (no textbox no html at all).
|
|
|
|

(I am posting this now, but will do some research and post some more.)
|
|
|
|
Is there any webpage with upgrade steps?

My followup: I used a new ikiwiki.setup based on the latest version. But no changes for me.
|
|
|
|
Also I forgot to mention that do=recentchanges works good for me. It uses my
|
|
rcs_recentchanges in my rcs perl module.
|
|
|
|
The do=prefs does nothing though -- just a blank webpage.
|
|

|
|
|
|
I also set verbose => 1 and running ikiwiki --setup was verbose, but no changes in running CGI.
|
|
I was hoping for some output.
|
|
|
|
I am guessing that my rcs perl module stopped working on the upgrade. I didn't notice any release notes
|
|
on changes to revision control modules. Has something changed? I will also look.
|
|
|
|
> No, the rcs interface has not needed to change in a long time. Also,
|
|

|
|
|
|
>> Thanks. I also checked differences between 1.40 Rcs plugins and didn't notice anything significant.
|
|

|
|
|
Another Followup: I created a new ikiwiki configuration and did the --setup to
|
|
create an entirely different website. I have same problem there. No prompt for password
|
|
and empty webpage when using the cgi.
|
|
I never upgraded any perl modules so maybe a new perl module is required but I don't see any errors so I don't know.
|
|
|
|
The only errors I see when building and installing ikiwiki are:
|
|
|
|
Can't exec "otl2html": No such file or directory at IkiWiki/Plugin/otl.pm line 66.
|
|
|
|
gettext 0.14 too old, not updating the pot file
|
|
|
|
I don't use GNU gettext on here.
|
|
|
|
I may need to revert back to my old ikiwiki install which has been used to thousands of times (with around
|
|
1000 rcs commits via ikiwiki).
|
|
|
|
--JeremyReed
|
|
|
|
I downgraded to version 1.40 (that was what I had before I wrote wrong above).
|
|
Now ikiwiki is working for me again (but using 1.40). I shouldn't have tested on production system :)
|
|
|
|
--JeremyReed
|
|
|
|
I am back. On a different system, I installed ikiwiki 2.6.1. Same problem -- blank CGI webpage.
|
|
|
|
So I manually ran with:
|
|
|
|
REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='do=create&page=jcr' kiwiki.cgi
|
|
|
|
And clearly saw the error:
|
|
|
|
[IkiWiki::main] Fatal: Bad template engine CGI::FormBuilder::Template::div: Can't locate CGI/FormBuilder/Template/div.pm
|
|
|
|
So I found my version was too old and 3.05 is the first to provide "Div" support. I upgraded my p5-CGI-FormBuilder to 3.0501.
|
|
And ikiwiki CGI started working for me.
|
|
|
|
The Ikiwiki docs about this requirement got removed in Revision 4367. There should be a page that lists the requirements.
|
|
(I guess I could have used the debian/control file.)
|
|
|
|
> There is a page, [[install]] documents that 3.05 is needed.
|
|
|
|
>> Sorry, I missed that. With hundreds of wikipages it is hard to read all of them.
|
|
>> I am updating the download page now to link to it.
|
|
|
|
I am now using ikiwiki 2.6.1 on my testing system.
