When a page is created with the versioning turned on, it creates the
initial metadata about the page for version 1 under the OLD/{page_name}
directory in the page.properties file. The VersioningFileProvider depends
on that metadata to exist to determine if the file exists (which is a
reasonable assumption in normal cases since it creates the metadata
normally upon page creation).
You could create those metadata when you initially populate the wiki
contents. The script below won't overwrite any existing files, only create
ones that don't currently exist.
#!/bin/bash
addr=$(host $(hostname) | cut -d ' ' -f 4)
if [[ ! -d OLD ]]; then
echo "OLD directory doesn't exist. Wrong PWD?"
exit
fi
for file in *.txt
do
base=$(basename "$file" .txt)
if [[ ! -d "OLD/$base" ]]; then
mkdir "OLD/$base"
fi
if [[ ! -f "OLD/$base/page.properties" ]]; then
echo "Creating properties file for ${base}"
echo "# JSPWiki page properties for ${base}. DO NOT MODIFY!" >
"OLD/$base/page.properties"
echo "#$(date)" >> "OLD/$base/page.properties"
echo "1.author=${addr}" >> "OLD/$base/page.properties"
fi
done
