Forum: Instiki – Topic: ubuntu upgrade broke instiki

Seems like the upgrade switched ruby from 2.5 to 2.7. I’ve been using instiki on LAN as a wiki for our home business. And now it’s kaput. I’ve tried redownloading and running a test.

The output from my local installs:

/home/rich/instiki/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/uri.rb:7: warning: URI.escape is obsolete
/home/rich/instiki/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/uri.rb:7: warning: URI.unescape is obsolete

I’ve also installed via apt and get this output:

Any help would be appreciated. If I can’t get instiki running again I’ll need help extracting the latest revision from the sqlite3 so I can migrate.
