Greetings,
 
 
 
  I'm new to wiki world ... can someone share exactly what it means up above where the documentation says:
 
 
      "All history, users and access control lists will not be taken over"
 
 
      In other words ... how much work would we lose and/or have to reconstruct?
 
 
      Could you email answer to george@touchthismedia.com?

This describes how to convert a dokuwiki installation to a mediawiki installation. All history, users and access control lists will not be taken over. This howto has been successfully tested with MediaWiki 1.16 and 1.19.1.

  • install mediawiki. In this example we assume you install to /srv/www/htdocs.
  • convert the syntax of every dokuwiki page to Mediawiki's syntax. MediaSyntax has a converter for this.
  • cd to the maintenance folder of your mediawiki, e.g.
cd /srv/www/htdocs/maintenance
  • import all text files from dokuwiki, e.g.:
for i in /srv/www/htdocs/dokuwiki/data/pages/*; do php importTextFile.php $i; done
  • now you will want to care about subdirectories, images and files in the dokuwiki as well
