Multiple Wikis

Sometimes you want to run multiple Wiki instances, for example one for each project you're managing. The projects have different members and different requirements; perhaps even different access rules.

Here's how you set up multiple wiki-instances:

Let us say that your main wiki instance is called ~GobbleWiki, because your company is called "Gobble Inc", and this is your intranet. You are using Tomcat, and you have installed it in /opt/tomcat. You have already set up the ~GobbleWiki directory, and customized your jspwiki.properties.

Now, you have a new project called "Zorp", and you want to establish a "~ZorpWiki" for it. Do as follows:

Put the following in the /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml file, within your -section.

    
Take a copy of the Image:Gobble Wiki/WE B-IN F/jspwiki.properties -file, and put it in Image:/opt/tomcat/conf/Zorp Wiki.properties. Then edit it at will. You definitely want to change the following properties (at least):
  • jspwiki.applicationName
  • jspwiki.fileSystemProvider.pageDir (or whichever provider you're using)
  • jspwiki.basicAttachmentProvider.storageDir (or whichever provider you're using)
  • jspwiki.baseURL
  • log4j.appender.~FileLog.File (if you're using log4j file logger)
Restart Tomcat. !Upgrading to new version of JSPWiki Just drop the new "JSPWiki.war" into place as "~GobbleWiki.war". The ~ZorpWiki should then be automatically able to pick it up. Wikipages
