Description: I have only run pmwiki for a couple of weeks so I am quite a beginner.

It normally works quite well but about once a day, mostly in the morning, pmwiki produces an error message, when you try to edit and save a page.

A workaround is to set write permissions for group and others on wiki.d (chmod 777 wiki.d).

But a day or so later the write permissions for group and others are lost again.

Btw. I am the owner of group wiki.d - is that ok?

Any tips? Dagge


Something or someone on your server is changing your file permissions. Some hosting providers run scripts that reset the ownerships and permissions of any files in home directories, perhaps that is what is happening here.

Unfortunately there's not a lot that PmWiki can do about this -- it's ultimately at the mercy of the system administrator and whatever is happening at the operating system level.

Hope this helps,

Pm


Ok - thanks (I suspected that it might be so :-()
