I thought the directory already exists, and its > permissions are correct. I think it's a path problem. You have /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27/wiki.d but PmWiki is looking for wiki.d in /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki. I would change the PmWiki install path from /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27 to /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki and then: mkdir /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki/wiki.d && chmod 777 /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki/wiki.d Ian MacGregor > > Thanks, > Marcin > > _______________________________________________ > pmwiki-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
