I just tried to install: NWiki2.0_Moodle1.9_rev2008040101.zip
on my system of 1.9 + (Build: 20080416)

I am extremely excited to use the Nwiki mod. but I have not been able to get the install to get past the following screen.

No warnings - Scroll to the continue button

I can stand to lose any wikis I have made before so does anyone have any options to help me finish the install?

Thank you.

Currently I cannot use the admin section a all because it hangs during the install.

When I navigate courses and try to add a Wiki the error I get is: "Unable to insert lock record"

So I commented out the offending line and was able to comlete the install. But now Certain wikis are giving the error

"This SQL relies on obsolete tables! Your code must be fixed by a developer."

How can I have a do over and start to install nwiki from scratch? How can I drop all the obsolete tables and then have the nwiki install everything correctly.

Thanks.

Hi Doug,

I'm so sorry but it look's like Moodle groups library has changed another time angry. Some functions used to manage groups have disappeared....

I'm going to find a new function or write a new one to fix this problem as soon as possible.

Thanks for the report.

DFWikiTeam, Pigui

I had a similar problem installing NWiki in Moodle 1.9. When I hit the Admin page, I get a couple of installation messages, the sentence "Wiki module needs to be upgraded", and no Continue button.

If I reload the Admin page, I get a blank screen.

Hopefully Ludo can help us with this. I've been using nWiki for the last two years. I'd really like to be able to upgrade to Moodle 1.9, but I can't afford to lose the last two years of wiki content.

I removed the NWiki code from mod and blocks, and I now get this error message:

Version mismatch: wiki can't downgrade 2008040101 -> 2008031201 !

I plan to drop all of the wiki tables from my db, restore them from a 1.8 backup, substitute in the NWiki code instead of the regular wiki, and see if it will upgrade that module correctly.

Any help would be appreciated!
