This is even true for the installation running http://www.instiki.org/

  • priority changed from high to highest.

Same here. A long pause, and then a 0 Kb zip file is created. I upped the priority to 'highest', as not being able to backup poses a big risk.

  • version changed from 0.9.2 to 0.10.0.

I tried both types of exports and neither of them seem to work. Too bad, I was thinking about using it but want to see the basic functionality work before I can trust it. I have version 0.10.2

Well, instiki generates the file alright, but it has problems sending the file through the browser. I wrote a simple tuorial a little while ago, "here":http://instiki.org/show/ExportingWebsitesInInstiki .

Basically, when you hit export, it exports the wiki's' into the \storage\2500 directory, where *\* is the instiki install location. When you run the export, and extract those files, then you have to worry about how the hyperlinks are formatted. I covered some of this in my tutorial. When get a patch I will post it.

This is actually a bug in the RoR. that ships with Instiki Grab the latest version of streaming.rb from the RoR distro and patch into Instiki.

I just ran into this problem myself. I'm not into patching distros, etc. Picatta's link was helpful - indeed the zip file was sitting under the 2500 directory. But it seems this should get fixed - I was very frustrated before stumbling across this solution.
