Description

Not much to say:

I used "... maint cleancache" to remove the old cachefiles and then tried to use ".. maint makecache" to create new ones. The command returned with several "too many arguments" errors as shown below.

Steps to reproduce

I think, this is just something in *my* wiki and when using the above "maint" commands.

Example

Here is, what happened - domain is faked: 

server:/home/htdocs/web0/html/wiki_home # moin --config-dir=/home/htdocs/web0/html/wiki_home --wiki-url=http://www.server.de/home maint makecache

Workaround

As i did not know, what exactly may have broken, i returned to a backup up the data directory.

Discussion

Do you have own plugins or don't you have updated underlay?

Please look at your HelpOnUserPreferences. Does it look like this http://master19.moinmo.in/HelpOnUserPreferences?action=raw ?

That sounds like you have edited these pages in the past and have them now as copy in the data arena (with old syntax). Usually they live in the underlay and that is replaced with each version The pages of the new underlay have the correct syntax for the call of the macros on this pages. See on your wiki EditedSystemPages and remove these pages by e.g. delete page from the data dir. -- ReimarBauer 2010-06-05 00:28:17
