I've been using TiddlyServer for a month or so and it is a great solution for me. I use it to serve up single file HTML wikis.

I thought I'd see how it works with data folder wikis. I understand the concept and when I used Node before I knew you ran
tiddlywiki mynewwiki --init server

to create your tiddlywiki and off you went. For TiddlyServer, how do you create a data folder wiki? Or is it assumed you created these files elsewhere and moved them into the 'tree' you define in settings.json?

Thanks,
Scott

Any subfolder off of your root/tree directory becomes a data tiddler folder automatically when you add a tiddlywiki.info file to it.

Magical, eh?

I believe you can even use the tiddlyserver interface to load the tiddlywiki.info file, though I think you will have to restart
the server for it to become effective.

Thanks, Mark. It was actually right there in front of me and I was making it too hard!

Start the server and on the home page you can create a new data folder right there. No need to restart just browse to your new wiki.
