This document describes the steps you'll need to take if you have to change the value of the BASE property for your wiki. The BASE property is described in the installation guide.

Disable the CGI

The first thing you'll need to do is disable the CGI access. You could temporarilly move the CGI application to some other path.

Change config.scm

Now modify /etc/svnwiki/config.scm to set the new value for your BASE.

Note that you will also have to modify REPOS-URL.

Remove the temporary directories

You will need to rm the svnwiki-NAME-* directories that Svnwiki creates in the temporary directory (usually /tmp).

Apply the changes to the repository

Now do as many svn mv commands as you need to move all the information from the old location to the new one.

Also, don't forget to copy the Subversion properties, which you'll like have, from your old location to the new one.

Enable the CGI

At this point you should re-enable your CGI application (undoing the steps you did in “Disable the CGI”).
