I was having some trouble this morning and yesterday, adding images into my Deki Wiki pages. I really like Deki, so wanted to find a solution. I know my release is old, because back in May I tried to upgrade from my version 1.0.9a to the 8.0.5 - but I had issues. So I reviewed Deki’s site today and saw that they have a newer 8.08.2 out - so I figured why not give it a shot.
So since Im using virtual machines, I just made a copy of the version 1.0.9a instance, named it 8.08.2 instead, and started it up. Its exactly the same as the 1.0.9a at this point - so after that, I just run the update/upgrade, if you can believe it, its this easy :
vmDekiWiki:~# /usr/bin/updateWiki.sh
-- updating wiki at /var/www/deki-hayes --
URL: https://dekiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dekiwiki/deki/web
Last Changed Rev: 11434
Last Changed Date: 2008-12-02 16:25:50 -0500 (Tue, 02 Dec 2008)
-- updating database --
-- restarting Deki Wiki --
-- update complete --
vmDekiWiki:~#
Its really that easy. After it was done, everything looked the same, all my pages are still there, and now the image uploader works properly again. In fact, the images I had uploaded in 1.0.9a which appeared in “files” instead of “images” were now properly showing in “images”. Now, I was able to update my January 3′d posting to add the link to my Sockso music server page now, which is hosted on my Deki Wiki server.
Also of note, they have updated the admin control panel to a more “WordPress” like dashboard which is a welcome addition. I recommend anyone on 1.0.9 to upgrade !
