Changing IP address when using multiple tiddlywikis

[Ed Veal]

I have installed tiddlywiki on my mac and want to have multiple wikis. I have copied the mynewwiki dir and I can only run one at a time because they are both using 127.0.0.1:8080.  Where do I change the default IP so that I can have multiple running at the same time?

This sounds like a problem for Bob. https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob

If you don't want to use Bob than you use command line arguments. If I remember correctly the first argument after the wiki path is the port. It defaults to 8080 but you can give other numbers. Just remember that anything under 1024 required administrator access.

If you installed it globally than you would use:

tiddlywiki /path/to/wiki --server 8080

where you change /path/to/wiki to actually be the path to the wiki and 8080 to be the port you want to use.

Very nice, that worked like a champ just have to identify and point to the right ports. 

Thanks!

Ed,

Using node, bob or tiddlyserver are great for managing multiple wikis. where you first set the port but then use a /wikiname

I use bob (single Exe) TiddlyServer and TiddlyDesktop (including TW Classic wikis) on my Wondows PC, most of which should work on your MAC.

I tend to set the IP Address in these to 0.0.0.0 making the wikis accessible at the computers IP address to access them via other computers/devices on the LAN.
