[pmwiki-users] error: "Cannot acquire lockfile"

I'm trying to get a new pmwiki installation up and running. At first, I 
got the "PmWiki needs to have a writable wiki.d/ directory before it can 
continue" error. I ended up creating the wiki.d/ directory manually and 
setting the permissions to 777. Now I'm getting the following error:
 
    PmWiki can't process your request

    Cannot acquire lockfile
    We are sorry for any inconvenience.

I've tried several variations on the permission settings, but nothing 
seems to be working. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt
