DokuWiki Setup Error

/page.idx is not writable. Check your permissions settings!

I don't understand how this is a XOOPS 2.3.0 issue. Did you check the file's CHMOD settings with your FTP client?

ok , I Check the files , thanks

but no work this module in Dokuwiki in version XOOPS 2.3.0.

I having the same issues, a nice page with only this line on it.

/page.idx is not writable. Check your permissions settings!

I checked my setting / rights.. even set it all to world writeble but nothing seems to work.

Anyone has an idea who maintains this module?

Ok, found out how to solve this.
The folders and files have to be owned by the web server user and files and folders all need to be set at level 755.

Found this out when i looked at the admin index of Dokuwiki where the module couldn't find the folders needed. After i deleted the current folders the module could create them, than i knew it was a rights problem and not a module problem.

I am having the same problem with page.idx. I set the files and directories to world writable, no go. Then I removed /www/uploads/dokuwiki altogether and went into the module control panel. Here I see:

datadir:/home/kutaki/www/uploads/dokuwiki/pages/ ( Not available Create )
olddir:/home/kutaki/www/uploads/dokuwiki/attic/ ( Not available Create )
cachedir:/home/kutaki/www/uploads/dokuwiki/cache ( Not available Create )

So I click Create on each of those three, and the /www/uploads/dokuwiki directory structure is created - but I still get the "/page.idx is not writable. Check your permissions settings!" error.

I'm using DokuWiki 2.2 on XOOPS 2.3.3. (Maybe this is my problem?)

Thanks,

Some servers don't allow the required chmod settings done by PHP script.
Delete the directories with your website admin panel (eg FileManager from cPanel or Plesk) or with FTP and create them manually and set the permissions also with cPanel or FTP.
The permission must be applied from below in the tree upwards, starting with /uploads/dokuwiki/

I have shell access on my server, so I've been working with permissions off the command line. The environment is set to 'suPHP', which basically means that PHP runs with the permissions of my user account.

I assume this means that I don't have to try to adjust permissions with FTP / cPanel since I can do it on the command line. Does applying perms from the tree upwards still hold true in this environment?

Thanks for your helpful response,

I had to set the permissions using command line at the /uploads/dokuwiki level



and it worked.

The other problem that I had was with the created URL. My rewrite on didn't work, and Dokuwiki was creating weird URL with forward slashes, that the browser couldn't accept.

After changing "userwrite" to 0 in /conf/dokuwiki.php:



it started to create URL like:



which the browser was accepting.
