How to move DokuWiki from one Server to another?
The simplest way to do this is to just copy the whole DokuWiki directory to the new server.
Here are a few things that might cause some trouble:
- Last modified dates (filemtime) may change when just copying your files. To avoid this, pack the whole directory in a TGZ file, transfer it and unpack it on the other server.
- The cache might need to be updated. See caching for info about how to do that.
- Your .htaccess might need to be tweaked, especially when using URL rewriting
- You should upgrade after transferring the data.
Transitions between different operating systems should not cause any trouble, DokuWiki does not care for OS specifics.
