DokuWiki with SVN: how and what should be under source control

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?

Solution

  • $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.
