[pmwiki-users] problem creating uploads/Group directories

To add, here is the error page, which is confusing in its instruction,
as it mentions a directory pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Site, which should
be just pmwiki/uploads/Site.
I got in config.php:
      $UploadUrlFmt = 'http://somesite.com/pmwiki/uploads';

---------------------
Warning: mkdir(uploads/Site): Permission denied in
   /home/l34rty/public_html/pmwiki/pmwiki.php on line 389
PmWiki can't process your request

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

    mkdir /home/l34rty/public_html/pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Site
    chmod 777 /home/l34rty/public_html/pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Site

Then, reload this page.

Or, for a slightly more secure installation, try executing

    chmod 2777 /home/l34rty/public_html/pmwiki/uploads

on your server and following this link. Afterwards you can
restore the permissions to their current setting by executing

    chmod 755 /home/l34rty/public_html/pmwiki/uploads

.

We are sorry for any inconvenience.
