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,
