[pmwiki-users] Basics

[Marcin Jakubowski]

Hello,

I just installed PMWiki on a free shell account, freeshells.ch/~ose.

When I try to edit, I am informed about incorrect file write
permissions. First, where do I put the wiki.d directory? I am putting
it in the

/home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27

directory.

Then the following happens:

-bash-2.05b$ chmod 777 /wiki.d
chmod: /wiki.d: No such file or directory

Then I type

-bash-2.05b$ chmod 777 wiki.d

and that appears to be accepted.

Then I go to http://freeshells.ch/~ose/pmwiki-2.1.27/pmwiki.php?n=PmWiki.BasicEditing?action=edit

and I am not able to edit:

"PmWiki can't process your request

PmWiki needs to have a writable wiki.d/ directory before it can
continue. You can create the directory manually by executing the
following commands on your server:

    mkdir /wiki.d
    chmod 777 /wiki.d
Then, reload this page.
We are sorry for any inconvenience."

Any suggestions? I thought the directory already exists, and its
permissions are correct.

Thanks,
Marcin
