Hi Gilles,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your reply. The problem turned out to be really stupid! In
my config.php file, I was specifiying: $UploadDir = "pmwiki/uploads";
instead of just "uploads". I thought that the current directory was
public_html, but it is actually pmwiki.<br>
<br>
I do still have a question though. The permissions for my uploads and wiki.d directories are:<br>
<br>
drwxrwxrwx 2 compmem compmem 4096 Dec 16 16:01 uploads<br>
drwxrwxr-x 2 compmem compmem 4096 Dec 17 13:07 wiki.d<br>
<br>
Is this how they should be? Is there any way to make the site more secure?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Hi Olga,<br>
<br>
here are some basic ideas ; not sure any will help you to solve your problem.<br>
<br>
-do you have the last pmwiki installed ? there used to be a bug for<br>
something similar(?) to your problem in an older version<br>
(cf. <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00396" target="_blank">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/00396</a>)<br>
<br>
-for information, what does you ftp program say about :<br>
wiki.d/<br>
uploads/<br>
Are they writable ? Mine are 755 and working fine.<br>
<br>
-be sure you gave write rights to the real upload destination folder<br>
(search for « upload » in your config to see if there aren't some<br>
special config things related to upload, for example a dedicated<br>
folder that is not the default one) :<br>
« Defaults to uploads/ in the pmwiki directory, but can be set to any<br>
location on the server. This directory must be writable by the<br>
webserver process if uploading is to occur. »<br>
<a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadVariables#UploadDir" target="_blank">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadVariables#UploadDir</a><br>
<br>
-have a look at : <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadsAdmin" target="_blank">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadsAdmin</a> : and<br>
especially §Upload directory configuration (?)<br>
I don't remember what I did when I installed my PmWiki ; but, in that<br>
page, it is said : "Important: do NOT create the uploads directory<br>
yet! See the next paragraph." So, see next paragraph ; who knows ?<br>
<br>
Hope this can help a little (though not sure ;).<br>
<br>
Gilles.<br>
