Thanks Tim for sharing thsi useful add-on with the TWikiCommunity!

I made some minor changes to the add-on topic: Escaped links, changed WikiWord link to Interwiki link to avpid a broken link once installed. Please feel free to take this into the next release.

Hi, First Congrats for the AddOn, it is very nice idea. And the moment I saw it I wanted to try it. I have installed the RcsSyncAddOn, but it seems that my mirrors file is not OK or I should do some extra configuration. I have configured only one mirror in the file : data/TWiki/TWikiMirrors.txt, but no matter how I change the site's name with or without cgi-bin, or point it directly to twiki directory or to twiki/bin it does not sync the files in any way.

The output I have is from my mirror site  apache access log :

10.3.127.136 - - [31/Jan/2008:20:54:56 +0200] "POST /sync/MyWiki/MySyncTopic HTTP/1.1" 404 300
10.3.127.136 - - [31/Jan/2008:20:55:21 +0200] "GET /sync/MyWiki/MySyncTopic?action=lock&user=TWikiMirror HTTP/1.1" 404 300
10.3.127.136 - - [31/Jan/2008:20:55:21 +0200] "GET /sync/MyWiki/MySyncTopic?action=checksum HTTP/1.1" 404 300

and from apache error log:

Can you please recommend me some solution for this issue or some direction where I can search/debug possible problem

Problem Solved! I am not sure everything was needed, but here is what I have done:

 - I added TWikiMirror user to both my sites

 - the TWikiMirrors.txt the list of mirror sites included the path to the twiki/bin/ directory with the '/' at the end included in my case was http://mysite.mydomain.com/twiki/bin/ - as the apache config included the /twiki to go to the twiki installation dir

- another step I performed that I had to do some fixes in in my LocalSite.cfg - the commands from the RCS sections "ci", "co" etc should be Ok, how it worked before that I don't know :(

So that's it from me, happy syncing
