NOTE: Think twice if you intend to rename the TWiki.Main web, since many files point to it. If you rename it, you also have to change all occurrences of Main to the new web name (like the web prefixes for all user signatures, Main.SomeName). (On the other hand, if the %MAINWEB% variable is used throughout, you won't have that problem.)
- Prepare your site: Other webs may link to the web you want to rename or delete. Search each web for links to the target web: search all webs for
Abouttochange. - include the period to find topics like Abouttochange.SomeTopic. Make changes as required.

- NOTE: Think twice if you intend to rename the TWiki.Main web, since many files point to it. If you do rename it, you'll also have to change all occurrences of
Main to the new web name - this includes, for example, the user signatures across your entire TWiki site. (On the other hand, if the variable %MAINWEB% is used throughout, you have no problem.)
- Prepare your site: Other webs may link to the web you want to rename or delete. Search each web for links to the target web: search all webs for
Abouttochange. - include the period to find topics like Abouttochange.SomeTopic. Make changes as required.
- Edit the TWikiPreferences topic: Rename or delete the web from the
WIKIWEBLIST variable.
- Edit the TWikiWebsTable topic: Rename or delete the web from the table.
- Connect to the TWiki server: Login via Telnet or FTP.
- Edit the data files: Go to
twiki/data and rename or delete the web directory.
- Edit the template files: Go to
twiki/templates and rename or delete the web directory if present.
- Edit the public files: Go to
twiki/pub and rename or delete the web directory if present.

Overview
To work with entire TWiki webs, you need direct access to the installation files on the host server. Connecting by Telnet or FTP is the usual approach. There are no browser-based web management tools. You can prepare a web for changes through browser-based individual topics by browser (see ModifyTopics). | | |
