10.6.2 Migrate Wiki Server & DNS
3

While migrating our servers services from 10.5 to our 10.6.2 production server one of the easiest migrations that I had found was to migrate the 10.5 Wiki. Simply copying files and making sure that the permissions remain in tact are really all you need.

However in 10.6.2 there is a detachment from the way you authenticate. You create access for each blog based on the settings in the web interface rather than in Workgroup Manager. This threw me off a bit the first time due to the fact that I had already had our previous wiki server split up into groups using workgroup manager.

Here is how I migrated our wiki, the default directory for wiki and blogs on 10.5 and 10.6 is

1
/Library/Collaboration

Inside that folder, you’ll find a Groups folder of interest. You’ll want to repeat the following procedure for each group:

1

sudo serveradmin stop teams
sudo mv <group Folder from Backup> /Library/Collaboration/Groups/
sudo chown -R _teamsserver:_teamsserver /Library/Collaboration/Groups/<group_directory>
sudo rm /Library/Collaboration/dataVersion.plist
sudo rm /Library/Collaboration/globalIndex.db
sudo rm /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/directoryIndex.db
sudo serveradmin start teams
</group_directory></group>
