Hi everybody,

I reinstalled a 2.2.81, and tried to set up a side-wide edit password. 
Every page of the wiki should be editable for those knowing the 
password.

So I created a password at this site:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin?action=crypt
...as I understood the instructions.

But I found that this encrypted password is not accepted by my page. 
Only the password generated on my own wiki page
( http://mydomain.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?action=crypt)actually worked.

This costed me 3 hrs... )-:
I think, instructions are misleading - at least stupid me was misled.

Therefore, shouldn't the 
 http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdminpage should be altered 
like this?

Change from:
"However, a wiki administrator can obtain and use an encrypted form of 
the password directly by using 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin?action=crypt on any 
PmWiki url (or just jump to PasswordsAdmin?action=crypt)."

to:
"However, a wiki administrator can obtain and use an encrypted form of 
the password directly by using 
http://yourdomain.com/yourpathtopmwiki/pmwiki.php?action=crypt "

Cheers,
Wolf
