<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for the quick response.<br>
<br>
I think I did what you suggested - Below is the way the relevant pieces of
config.php currently read, but I'm getting the following that precedes them.
I'd note that for me the root is /httpdocs/.....<br>
<br>
I checked and have created a path
"/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Main<br>
with the "Main" directory having 777 permissions, but that
doesn't do the trick.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I also tried<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>$UploadDir = "/var/www/vhosts/mitchell.lamp.drexel.edu/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/";<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And got back an error message again that doubled the
path.<br>

PmWiki can't process your request<br>

PmWiki needs to have a writable uploads/Main/ directory before it can
continue. You can create the directory manually by executing the following
commands on your server:<br>
<br>
mkdir
/var/www/vhosts/mitchell.lamp.drexel.edu/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Main<br>
chmod 777
/var/www/vhosts/mitchell.lamp.drexel.edu/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Main<br>

Unless there's a strong reason for explicitly setting $UploadDir,<br>
you probably want to leave it alone. PmWiki will generally figure<br>
out the correct setting.<br>
<br>
You also probably don't want to set $HandleAuth['upload'] explicitly;<br>
if you want uploading to default to edit permissions you can<br>
more easily do this with<br>
<br>
$DefaultPassword['upload'] = '';<br>
<br>
Other than that, these settings look okay to me. Let us know if
you're<br>
still having trouble and I'll look into it a bit further.<br>
