[pmwiki-users] Switching Hosts

[DaveG]

Followed your process, and now have exactly the same problem -- the 
category footer isn't playing :) Everything went pretty smoothly (notes 
below), with no major errors or deviations.

I also now have a problem with with wiki.d/counter attributes

The find command failed. I moved the -type arg to after the folder name:
     find pmwiki -type d | xargs chmod 755 *
     find pmwiki -type f | xargs chmod 644 *

However, this set attributes on all folders so I could not read anything 
:) I manually changed all folders to 755 and files to 644 via TP client.
