[pmwiki-users] Skin not found in farm

[Américo Albuquerque]

Hello

That happens when your Pub Dir ($PubDirUrl or $FarmPubDirUrl) is not a 
child of your install dir ($FarmD)

The skins definition is:
   SDV($SkinLibDirs, array(
     "./pub/skins/\$Skin"      => "$PubDirUrl/skins/\$Skin",
     "$FarmD/pub/skins/\$Skin" => "$FarmPubDirUrl/skins/\$Skin"));

so you have to change it according to your system:
$SkinLibDirs = array("../farm/pub/skins/\$Skin" => 
"$PubDirUrl/skins/\$Skin");

Basically you have to set $SkinLibDirs = array(
   'local path to skin'=>'url path to skin')

Your pub dir is not a direct child of your install dir (root), that 
means you have to change the way pmwiki will look for skins

The reason it works is because pmwiki also look under ./pub/skins and 
finds domain3.com/pub/skins
