The info in ManagingWebs on how to rename or delete a web is good, but the link halfway down on how to add a web should point to TWikiInstallationGuide.

My question is now: if I want to transfer the web to a TWiki site administered by somone else in future, are there any issues to watch out for, e.g. permissions to edit the RCS files?

Answer

Just archive all files in twiki/data/Yourweb and all dirs below twiki/pub/Yourweb and ship it to the other installation. You need to make sure that:

• The lock user in the RCS .txt,v the matches. If not you need to change the user, i.e.
  for f in *,v; do sed 's/nobody\:/www-data\:/' $f > x; mv x $f; done
• The file and directory permissions are set so that the files are writable by the user of the cgi program.
