>>If you have a high-traffic site, it is recommended that you **lock your site first**. Simply create a file called locked in the directory Wakka is located in. This file should contain a (plain text) password on its first line.

1) Backup your Wikka Wiki directory.

1) Start [[http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ your favorite web browser]] and point it at the Wikka installation directory.
