Any more than that, though, and I'm at a loss.
I may be incorrect about the filename. The history of this is that the PHPwiki package has not actually dealt with db4 files for a long time (1.3.7-1 in 2004 was the last release that actually created db4 files). Newer releases shouldn't break your db4 setup, but a brand new fresh install will be setup to use sqlite by default instead of db4. I took over the package just after 1.3.7-4, so I've never dealt with db4 stuff directly, hence my confusion. After taking a deeper look at the old packages it seems that your file probably is in a standard location. I just wasn't expecting the final 4 in the filename... > Additionally, I've backed up my phpwiki files, purged the package (and > it's dependancies), and reinstalled. It worked. I assume this was with a SQLite database at /var/lib/phpwiki/phpwiki_pagedb.db ?

This is probably because the config file was still looking for a SQLite database and you copied a DB4 database on top of it.

At this stage I'd suggest asking the upstream mailing list for help. It doesn't seem to be anything that is identifiably wrong with the package from the information that you've provided so far. If you can successfully get the data out of the db4 database, I would suggest migrating to a SQLite backend. Hope that helps. -- Matt Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mob +64 21 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
