I found this which enabled me to execute SQL from terminal

But then found this & connected successfully with a 30 day trial of Navicat

I searched my Collab wiki database & removed all UID entries for my corrupted wikis & then deleted the corrupted wikis themselves.


Everything is running perfectly now

Here is a set of TERMINAL commands that will reset our Mac OSX Lion Server Wiki. Take care, all posts will be deleted. You will restart with a clean wiki database:


sudo serveradmin stop postgres

sudo mv /var/pgsql /var/pgsqlold

sudo mkdir /var/pgsql

sudo chmod 700 /var/pgsql

sudo chown _postgres:_postgres /var/pgsql

sudo /System/Library/ServerSetup/CleanInstallExtras/01_PostgreSQLSetup.rb

sudo serveradmin fullstatus postgres

sudo serveradmin start postgres

Those terminal commands will wipe out all of the databases, not just the Wiki.

bash-3.2# psql -l -U _postgres

List of databases

Name | Owner | Encoding | Collation | Ctype | Access privileges

-------------------+------------+----------+-----------+-------+-------------------------

caldav | caldav | UTF8 | C | C |

collab | collab | UTF8 | C | C |

device_management | _devicemgr | UTF8 | C | C |

postgres | _postgres | UTF8 | C | C |

roundcubemail | roundcube | UTF8 | C | C |

template0 | _postgres | UTF8 | C | C | =c/_postgres +

| | | | | _postgres=CTc/_postgres

template1 | _postgres | UTF8 | C | C | =c/_postgres +

| | | | | _postgres=CTc/_postgres

(7 rows)


Warning: I haven't tried this, but doing something like this might reset only the Wiki:

sudo -s

serveradmin wiki stop

/usr/bin/dropdb collab

/System/Library/ServerSetup/CommonExtras/PostgreSQLExtras/CoreCollaborationPostgreSQLExtras.sh

serveradmin wiki start

How can I reset/wipe/delete all my wiki content?
