Question

I overlooked setting UseRcsDir in the TWiki.cfg file during installation. The cfg file says that .. 'only change when initially setting up a twiki installation'. Is there a way I can resort to rcs dir per web now (without affecting existing content)?

thanks SiddharthRam

Answer

You can do that after installation:

• Back up your data
• Make sure nobody can update TWiki content (announce a BROADCAST preferences message, rename edit, save, attach and upload scripts)
• Create a RCS directory in each TWiki web directory and each pub/Web/Topic directory, and move all .txt,v files there. Pay attention to the file ownership needs to be writable by the cgi user.
• Test if new topic / update topic / attach new file / update existing file works as expected
• Re-enable your TWiki for the users
