Most important, thanks to Patrick for creating such a great tool and
allowing us all to use it.
I am in the process of bring up two wikis, one for work, one for home
and family. The work wiki is read password protected because we are
using it for communications between software developers, testers and
clients all offset by about 8 time zones. The family site is wide open
with only an upload password.
<> <>I love the cookbook concept and have been on a recipe-a-day
program to add features to both sites. Started out with Arndis' skins,
and keep adding features. <>
Both sites share some similarities, primarily they are hosted by a
commercial provider and I only have FTP access to them. However, there
are clearly differences between the setup at these hosts. The first
thing I noticed is that the history did not function properly on my home
site. Turned out that this provider runs PHP in safe move. Thanks to
Nils Knappmeier's PHPDiffEngine, I was able to get around that. <>
So here's the problem I have not been able to solve. On my home site I
have added X-Gallery of the family can upload pictures. Thanks, Steven
Leite! After everything was installed as directed, I got a PmWiki error
message, stating that the uploaded file could not be moved into the
target directory. It took a while, but I eventually figured out that the
created directory did not have the proper permissions. It did not have
GID set. I tried to go in with SmartFTP and set the permissions to 2777,
but got an operation not permitted response. <>
Well, I'm not easily discouraged. I found that using SmartFTP, I could
delete the directory create a new directory of the same name, then set
2777. Now the uploads work, but every time the page was refreshed, the
thumbnails were regenerated. Yep, wrong directory permissions again,
same solution. <>
So I have a workaround, but I would really like my users to be able to
create their own pages, then upload to them without my intervention. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. <>
