G'day I'm using Kubuntu 5.10 (a modern Debian based linux distro) on an oldish i686 laptop and instiki 0.10.2
Anyway, somehow instiki seems to be back and working. (it didn't matter how many times i killed and started it again in the terminal emulator inside konqueror, but when i restarted konqueror altogether it appeared to magically come back to life - i got no idea) Anyway. Yep you were right. I WAS looking in the wrong directory. I was looking at the storage created by an old (test) wiki that i had deleated hence why there was nothing in it. bollocks. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. I still don't understand why it had the hissy fit before, but am pretty sure it was knoqueror rather than instiki which was mucking up. Paz y amor, -rjs.
