Title: Message
I am setting up several wikis to try to help collect some HOWTO info for our staff, and love the simplicity and speed of Instiki, it is a great product, my first foray into playing with a RoR app.
 
However, no matter how I try to search and read the documentation on file uploads in Instiki, I can't get this feature working.
 
I set the file limit in the Web Settings to 1 GB to test without limitations.
 
I followed the small example on FileUploads page on instiki.org by placing the location of the file I want uploaded in brackets.
 
I have Instiki running on a local webserver, proxied to the outside world via Apache. I've tried to point the upload files link to a file straight off my local machine to see if it uploads to the web server but that doesn't work. Does Instiki have a file upload module somewhere, do i have to give permissions to the /files dir? (I am running Apache webserver on a Windows Server box, with Ruby 1.84 installed).
 
I even ftp'd a file to the /files subdir and still can't get a clean link. When I ftp the file directly, then add [[filename.pdf:file]] the result is a highlighted link for a page that doesn't exist, but if I click the question mark to create it, then the PDF in the /files dir opens. Have I missed some config setting somewhere. I know instiki.org has the FileUpload page on the TODO list, but I'm getting frustrated not being able to sort it out on my own. Everything else with this application is so simple and straightforward, I'm sure I'm staring at the solution but just haven't grokked. it.
 
Thanks,
-Mike
