My next problem was that ikiwiki start letting me edit without any password authentication. It used to prompt
me for a password but now just goes right into the "editing" mode.

The third problem is that when editing my textbox is empty -- no content.

Now I see it created directories for my data. I fixed that by setting
usedirs (I see that is in the release notes for 2.0) and rerunning ikiwiki --setup
but I still have empty pages for editing (no textbox no html at all).

My followup: I used a new ikiwiki.setup based on the latest version. But no changes for me.

I also set verbose => 1 and running ikiwiki --setup was verbose, but no changes in running CGI.
I was hoping for some output.
I am guessing that my rcs perl module stopped working on the upgrade. I didn't notice any release notes
