Hello to all,
i've a problem with making an offline copy of my own local wiki.
The following szenario:
All the admin-related stuff and also the whole documentation of our
infrastructure is stored on a webserver. So the document to restore
the webserver if it crashes is located on the same webserver.... so
therefore i need an offline copy of my local wiki. (I know this is
not the perfect solution but there is a backup from the wiki - but i
need a simple way to have the important documents stored on my local
computer).
What about a mirror of the wiki? Dump the database to another machine, upload
it at regular intervals (once a day)?
On the other hand, if your entire datacenter goes down, then a hard copy would
be a happy thing.

I tried the HTML2FPDF and Mediawiki Article (http://
meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTML2FPDF_and_Mediawiki) but i did not get it
working. Also it's not good that you habe to change some mainfiles
from the mediawiki installation.
The other projects are imho not 'ready' or the intension is something
different.
We are working on something with a table of content file (Stückliste) that
contains the articles we want to load and in the order we want/need them
printed. Adding printable=yes to the URL we strip out all of the junk, parse
the file a little more and then create a PDF.
o wget to mirror the wiki-Site
I also tried mirroring the wiki with 'wget -m
http://mydomain.com/
mywikidirectory/' (i also tried the url
http://mydomain.com/
mywikidirectory/index.php/MainSite) but it is not only mirroring the
wiki. It's also mirroring the whole site at 'http://mydomain.com/'.
Why? Can i customize the wget command that it is only mirroring sites
from 'http://mydomain.com/mywikidirectory/'?
That'll just get you the articles as files on your local system. Although it
is probably useful in an emergency, there are better alternatives.
