I want to store my documentation under SVN source control.
In DokuWiki settings there is
Directory for saving data '.../apps/dokuwiki/data'
DokuWiki stores all data inside text files under '.../apps/dokuwiki/data' folder. There are many stuffs there including indexes caches etc. It seems that I only need the 'pages' folder.
How can I move the 'pages' folder inside my SVN folders and configure the DocuWiki to use pages from there?
$conf['datadir']
can be used in conf/local.php
to set the page directory independently from the rest of the directories in data
. You probably want to use $conf['mediadir]
for uploaded images and files as well and maybe $conf['metadir']
for saving page metadata.
Here's an example of what I set mine to:
$conf['datadir'] = './my-data/pages/';
$conf['mediadir'] = './my-data/media/';
$conf['metadir'] = './my-data/meta/';
N.B. Be sure to use 'datadir'
(not 'pagedir'
) as noted in the comments to the earlier answer.
You may also want to configure your attic:
$conf['olddir'] = './my-data/attic/';
This makes management under svn more complicated, as you have to add attic files all the time, but it preserves change history across developers. This depends a little more on your installation though; if you regularly clean your attic you wouldn't want to do this.
