# /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/bin/wikiadmin

Usage:

wikiadmin

wikiadmin -h

wikiadmin migrate/rebuildSearchIndex/updateSchema/fixPermissions/resetQuicklooks [--logLevel emergency/alert/critical/error/warning/notice/info/debug] ( --sourceRoot PATH | -r PATH TO WIKI REPOSITORY ) (-g WIKINAME)

wikiadmin gatherWikiStats

wikiadmin gatherXCSStats

wikiadmin export -name WIKI_NAME -path EXPORT_PATH

wikiadmin import -path IMPORT_PATH

(note #1: -path is optional. Defaulting to /tmp/wikiadmin-export)

(note #2: -name can take a list of projects separated by a comma (WIKI_1,WIKI_2,WIKI_3, etc...)

Thanks for that input, I really appreciate it. The wiki is up and running, accessible from through a web browser. But whether I try to export or migrate, I get the following error. Any ideas?

Can't log to /Library/Server/Wiki/Logs/wikiadmin.log: Permission denied

2015-04-22 11:18:43.505 wikiadmin[54607:399830] [PostgreSQLClient.framework] [/SourceCache/CoreCollaboration/CoreCollaboration-478.15/Server/PostgreSQLClien t/PGCServer.m:45] Cannot init due to bad clusterDirectory /Library/Server/Wiki/Database.xpg/Cluster.pg, and no backup

Error: Postgres database is not available; exiting

You have to run wikiadmin as sudo root.

As you can see, this process takes no time at all and nothing there when finished. Am I missing something?

sudo wikiadmin export - name administrativeprocedures,deploystudio,knowledgebase,staffprocedures,windowsimag ing,workprocedures

I also tried it with just one wiki, as well as with the export path. Got the same result each time.

It would be awesome if there were some documentation on how to export (backup) all wikis, or somehow get a list of all WIKI_NAME.
Also not sure what is "PATH TO WIKI REPOSITORY" ....

That worked much better (usually does once you do it right, huh?). Is there anything special that has to be done to import that to another server? My understanding is to copy the exported files to the other machine, then use the import switch with the path to those files.

Also, is it better to migrate or export/import when moving it from one machine to the other.

Still not showing up in the wiki. The folders are gone from the /tmp folder now. I guess I will check tomorrow, time to head out for the day. Thanks again for the help, I will let you know of the progress.

You could try moving the Wiki folder over and then running "wikiadmin migrate". If it doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions. Always expect bugs in Server, especially when doing something undocumented.
