I'm sure this must be an FAQ, if only I could find it...
I have set up my pmwiki directory as per the instructions in
PmWiki/FilePermissions:
drwxrwsr-x 3 nobody nogroup 512 Jul 17 15:28 uploads
drwxrwsr-x 2 nobody nogroup 1024 Jul 18 16:15 wiki.d
nobody and nogroup being the user and group Apache runs under. I note
the umask(002); in pmwiki.php. I remove all the world write
permissions from the files in wiki.d and then edit a file via
pmwiki. That file, and other files describing recent changes, are
rewritten with world write permission again. Why? Where is it being
set? The files don't need world write permission for pmwiki to work,
surely?
Thanks for any help.
