I'm in the process of changing my hosting package and I need to transfert all hosted files to a new directory. All site owners that have left their email address should have received an email. For the others, here is how I've planed this migration.

I noticed that some TiddlyHome sites haven't been accessed for a longtime. So I take this opportunity to hear from their owner :

1- Do you need your site at http://tiddlyhome.bidix.info ?

If you use it feel free to simply ask me by email to migrate your site (don't forget to tell me the name of your site and your corresponding username).

I simply suggest you take a local copy of your site, as you should do from time to time.

Without response from you before 2008-10-17 your site will be saved but no more online.

2 - Have you any comment or suggestion on this experiment ?

I'll appreciate any suggestion and comment from you. So reply by email with all your discussions.

For your information, the migration is scheduled on 2008-10-18 and 2008-10-19.

It is only an Update release.
Changes :

• New site uses templates in SingleFileMode. No more core extracted.
• All templates uses :
  • Core 2.4.1
  • UploadTiddlerPlugin V 1.2.1
  • UploadPlugin V 4.1.4
  • _th/lib/storeTiddler.php

TiddlyHome is a package design as an infrastructure for multi-user and multi-site TiddlyWiki hosting service based on UploadPlugin.

TiddlyHome0.1.3 is in beta stage and use TiddlyWiki2.4.1.

The main fetaures are :

• BSD open source license
• written in PHP, no database
• Based on UploadPlugin
• All User management in .htpasswd
• All control access in .htaccess
• All admin tasks from a dedicated TiddlyWiki
• User Options and Site Options accessible from TiddlyWiki
• and much more ...

The next step will be :

All comments, feedback and enquiries to TiddlyHome @ bidix.info

Enjoy,

TiddlyHome doesn't manage properly password on windows as it does on Linux and OSX.

Password management in TiddlyHome

To manage password, TiddlyHome uses the PHP crypt() function to :

• encode password when it is first provided
• verify password for the different operations on sites

Password is then stored in a .htpasswd file that is compatible with Apache format

Password management in Apache

To manage password, Apache uses the system crypt() function to encode and verify password except on Windows.

On Windows Apache uses a proprietary MD5 modified algorithm to encode and verify password.

Even if TiddlyHome will use the htpasswd.exe command provided with Apache on Windows, TiddlyHome will be unable to verify password for the different operations on sites.

If you can, don't use TiddlyHome on Windows

It's my recommendation : Don't use Apache and TiddlyHome on Windows, for safety reason you should prefer Linux or OSX.

No encrypted password on Windows and only on Windows

If you still want to use TiddlyHome on Windows, for maintaining the compatibility between TiddlyHome and Apache, password are not encrypted (they are in plain text).

But it is only on Windows. On other operating system they are encrypted with the standard crypt() system function.
