Learn how to move a Mac OS X Server version 10.5 wiki to another
server.
Note: Both servers need to be
connected to the same Directory Service and the group
must be located in Open
Directory.
- Prior to moving any data, use Server Preferences to disable wiki
for the group you will be moving.
- Stop Web Service to make sure no changes occur during this
procedure.
- Migrate the folder located at (/Library/Collaboration/Groups/group_short_name/)
to the new server, preserving permissions.
Note: This path
is the default location. If you do not see this folder in this location, check Server
Admin's Web Services pane to see if the location was changed.
- Re-enable wiki for the group and choose the new server to host
that group's wiki.
- Start Web Service.
- Verify that you can access the group's data on the new server.
If the two servers are not
part of the same directory structure
In this situation, you'll need to recreate the group on the new
server's directory structure, then copy the files to the new server.
- Determine the GUID of the group using Work Group Manager (use the
Inspector to find the value for GUID.)
- Open the file located at: (path to Collaboration folder/Groups/group_name/metadata.plist)
- Find the GUID key.
- Replace the value there with the value you found in the new
group,
- Save.
- Enable wiki on the new group and choose the new server as the
host for the new group's wiki.
- Start Web Service.
- Verify that you can access the group's data.
