[pmwiki-users] Using pmWiki on YahooMerchant

[Harry Forsdick]

I am setting up a store on YahooMerchant and am using pmWiki as the
web page engine.

YahooMerchant runs on FreeBSD 4.10

I have run into two problems concerning allowable file names that may
be a YahooMerchant restriction or a FreeBSD restriction:

1. It appears that I cannot create a directory with a "." (dot) in its
name.  This is a problem for the two standard pmWiki directories
wiki.d and wikilib.d

2. I can't create files beginning with a "." (dot).  Although I have
not gotten this far in execution, I am anticpating that when a script
tries to set the file .flock, there is going to be trouble.

I am also asking Yahoo about these restrictions, but any advice on how
to change what file names pmWiki uses for these directories and files
is most welcome.  I realize there is the $WikiDir variable in the
config file, but when I try to change it to be 'wikid' instead of the
default 'wiki.d', I get an error.

Thanks in advance for any help
